Avulsion Thighplasty: Technique Overview and 6-Year Experience.

Unlabelled: When choosing a thigh lift operation, the surgeon also chooses which complications he/she will be managing, and the most dreaded after conventional thigh lifting are those of lymphatic origin such as lymphocele or lymphedema. The authors describe avulsion thighplasty, a technique that spares lymphatics by using aggressive liposuction beneath the planned resection area, and thus minimizes lymphatic complications. The technique is outlined and complications are detailed over a 6-year period with long-term follow-up.

Minimally invasive face-lifting: S-Lift and S-Plus Lift rhytidectomies.

Limited-incision facial rejuvenation procedures are not new. A minimal-incision operation involving an elliptic skin excision preauricularly was described in 1963. Responding to the desires of many patients for a limited procedure with limited downtime, the S-Lift was described in 1999.
