In the anchor thighplasty technique, the medial thigh lift is extended posteriorly into the infragluteal crease. The advantage is that the posterior thigh is lifted and ptosis of the caudal buttock can be corrected. Patients with buttock ptosis and medial thigh skin laxity without lateral thigh redundancy are ideal candidates.
