Background: The Skin Laxity Severity Scale for the buttocks was previously developed to separately assess buttock ptosis, a scalloped appearance of the skin, infragluteal fold, localized fat on the lower third of the buttocks, and linear depressed lesions. A more objective, faster and shorter version of this scale, to be evaluated visually, would be more feasible to apply in daily practice.
Objectives: To present a new skin laxity scale for the buttocks: the Skin Laxity Visual Scale (SLVS).
Background: Clinical scales are useful to assess skin laxity in different areas of the body.
Objective: To elaborate and validate a photonumeric scale to assess buttocks skin laxity.
Materials And Methods: The Buttocks' Skin Laxity Severity Scale (SLSS) was developed based on a sample of 120 patients.
