Abstract
The authors discuss a way to treat a deep depression deformity in the gluteal region after overaggressive liposuction utilizing a pedicled deepithelialized fasciocutaneous infragluteal (FCI) flap. The technique is described. A pedicled deepithelialized FCI flap can be a viable and elegant option for the correction of an extensive contour deformity of the gluteal region after overaggressive liposuction. The procedure is easy to perform, preserves gluteal anatomy, and has the additional benefit of a lifting effect.
