ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There is a lack of convenient and accurate objective methods to evaluate the clinical efficacy of thigh liposuction.METHODS:
This retrospective study involved the 3-dimensional images of 19 patients who underwent bilateral thigh liposuction. Data such as volume change and volume change rate before and after surgery, circumference change, and circumference change rate of 3 planes (upper, middle, and lower) were analyzed. The correlation between body mass index and volume change rate and between preoperative circumference and circumference change rate of different planes were determined.RESULTS:
There were significant differences between the preoperative and postoperative volume and circumference of 3 planes of 19 patients (38 thighs). The rate of change in total volume (16.90 ± 5.55%) correlated with the circumference change rate at the top of the thigh. There was also a linear relationship between body mass index and volume change rate, but not between preoperative circumference and circumference change rate.CONCLUSIONS:
Three-dimensional imaging technology can accurately quantify the volume and circumference change of the thigh to objectively evaluate the clinical efficacy of thigh liposuction.
