In addition to the conventional methods used to improve leg contours, total leg sculpture, including liposuction, selective neurectomy, and transilluminated powered phlebectomy, provides a one-time solution of leg contour problems, which is a major aesthetic concern among Asian women. The authors present the postoperative results of total leg sculpture and determine any significance and correlation between the leg variables and body mass index by statistical analysis.
Thirty female patients who underwent total leg sculpture between 2005 and 2008 were included in the study, and prospective analysis of the patients' data was performed during a follow-up period of 1 year. Local measurement variables and body mass index were recorded, and the correlation between them was determined by Pearson's correlation and regression analysis. A paired t test was used to compare the postoperative outcomes.
Subjectively, all patient results were satisfactory. There were significant differences between preoperative and postoperative measurements for all variables for total leg sculpture. Body mass index was strongly correlated with all leg indexes, and there was a significant positive correlation between the index and variables related to the buttocks and upper thigh. The satisfactory postoperative leg variables were buttocks circumference (87.85 cm), thigh circumference (T60, 44.20 cm), maximal calf circumference (32.24 cm), and calf ratio (0.78). Each preoperative body mass index increment represents a 0.3 percent circumference improvement around the buttocks after surgery. No obvious morbidities or long-term hospital stays were noted.
Total leg sculpture provides a combined aesthetic solution for improving limb contours with minimal morbidity. Patients with larger body mass index values exhibit better aesthetic improvement than those with smaller values.
除了用于改善腿部轮廓的传统方法外，全腿塑形，包括抽脂、选择性神经切除术和透光动力静脉切除术，为腿部轮廓问题提供了一次性解决方案，这是亚洲女性主要的美学关注点。作者展示了全腿塑形的术后结果，并通过统计分析确定腿部变量与体重指数之间的任何意义和相关性。
本研究纳入了2005年至2008年间接受全腿塑形的30名女性患者，并在1年的随访期内对患者数据进行前瞻性分析。记录局部测量变量和体重指数，并通过Pearson相关性和回归分析确定它们之间的相关性。采用配对t检验比较术后结果。
主观上，所有患者的结果都令人满意。全腿塑形的所有变量术前和术后测量之间存在显著差异。体重指数与所有腿部指标密切相关，该指数与臀部和大腿上部相关的变量之间存在显著正相关。术后令人满意的腿部变量为臀围（87.85厘米）、大腿围（T60，44.20厘米）、最大小腿围（32.24厘米）和小腿比率（0.78）。术前体重指数每增加一个单位，术后臀部周围的周长改善0.3%。未观察到明显的并发症或长期住院情况。
全腿塑形为改善肢体轮廓提供了一种综合美学解决方案，发病率极低。体重指数较高的患者比体重指数较低的患者表现出更好的美学改善效果。
