So-called "skinny legs" are commonly held to be aesthetically negative in both men and women. Taking care of one's body in terms of aesthetics is a practice that is continuously spreading and being refined to the smallest details.

The present article illustrates a surgical technique for correcting this marginal, yet valid, aesthetic complaint as well as the relative indications, methods, and preliminary results that have been obtained in 11 patients.
