BACKGROUND: Complication profiles of medial thighplasty in the massive @entity353 population are not well described. The authors present their experience with these procedures in the massive @entity353 population. METHODS: Thighplasty @entity1 from 2003 to 2012 were assessed. Variables included age, sex, body mass index, method of @entity353 , comorbidities, and smoking status. Outcomes included @entity2080 , dehiscence, @entity281 , @entity1410 , @entity4 , and revision. Statistical analysis was performed as appropriate. RESULTS: One hundred six subjects (90 @entity1 and 16 @entity1 ) underwent thighplasty. Fourteen @entity1 underwent horizontal thighplasty, with a complication rate of 43 percent; 24 underwent short-scar thighplasty, with a complication rate of 67 percent; and 68 underwent full-length vertical thighplasty, with a complication rate of 74 percent. Seventy-two subjects (68 percent) had at least one complication. Complications included dehiscence (51 percent), @entity2080 (25 percent), @entity281 (16 percent), and @entity1410 (6 percent). Overall, 25 @entity1 (23 percent) developed @entity4 , which did not resolve in two @entity1 by 12 months. @entity101 was significantly associated with @entity86 (p = 0.02). Age (p = 0.01), @entity1375 (p = 0.01), and liposuction outside the area of resection (p = 0.025) were associated with @entity86 . A full-length vertical incision was associated with increased lower extremity @entity4 (p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Medial thighplasty has a high rate of minor wound healing problems. Full-length vertical thighplasty is associated with prolonged @entity4 . Concomitant liposuction may also increase complications. @entity1 should be counseled appropriately about the potential for minor wound healing problems. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.
