One of their major complaints is laxity at the thighs. In this study, a technical option of crural dermolipectomy with medioanterior extension is presented. Seven patients underwent the proposed surgical procedure. High satisfaction levels and few complications were observed.

RESUMO
Com o aumento na incidência das gastroplastias redutoras, houve um incremento no número de pacientes apresentando grandes perdas ponderais que procuram a ajuda da cirurgia plástica para se reintegrar à sociedade. Uma das principais queixas destes pacientes é a flacidez da região femoral. Apresentamos, neste estudo, uma opção técnica de dermolipectomia crural com prolongamento médio-anterior. Sete pacientes foram submetidos à cirurgia proposta. Obtivemos altos índices de satisfação com poucas complicações.
