But if there is a sagging of the skin, in addition to liposuction, cuts (about 2-4 cm) are made in the area under the buttocks, as well as in the inguinal folds. Excess tissue is cut off, and soft tissues are pulled upward and attached to the tendons of any large muscle on the internal bony surface. After this, the incisions are sewn with a special intradermal suture, and a special elastic patch is applied to it, not violating the blood flow path.
