Lower Body Lift
Restore the buttocks and thighs to enhance or restore your figure.
A lower body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, outer thighs, and buttocks. This procedure is designed to improve the contours of the lower body, resulting in a more youthful and toned appearance.
Lower body lift surgery is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, either through diet and exercise or GLP-1 drugs or bariatric surgery. It is also suitable for those with loose, sagging skin due to aging or genetics. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcome.
Before and Afters
- Removes excess, sagging skin and fat
- Improves the shape and tone of the lower body
- Enhances the appearance of the buttocks
- Reduces skin irritation caused by excess skin
- Boosts self-confidence and body image
- Anesthesia
General anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. - Incisions
The surgeon makes a circumferential incision around the lower torso, positioned just above the pubic area and extending around the hips to the back. - Liposuction
Fat deposits are thinned strategically to set the stage for an improved silhouette. - Skin and fat removal
Excess skin and fat are carefully removed from the abdomen, hips, outer thighs, and buttocks. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and repositioned to create a smoother, contoured appearance. - Incision closure
The incisions are closed using sutures. Drains may be necessary to remove excess fluid and promote healing. - Recovery
Patients stay overnight either in the hospital or a hotel. Compression garments are worn to minimize swelling and support the treated areas. Most patients can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, with a full recovery expected within several months.
