Our Results
Turn Loose Skin into Smooth Curves
What is a lower body lift?
A lower body lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that targets the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and hips. The surgery removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues to create a smoother, firmer appearance. This surgical procedure is especially beneficial for patients who have lost significant weight or have skin laxity due to aging.
A Personalized Transformation
What is the lower body lift procedure like?
Lower body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made around the lower torso, often extending from the abdomen to the back. The plastic surgeon removes excess skin and fat and then tightens the remaining skin to enhance contours. Liposuction may be combined for more refined results depending on the areas treated.
Lift and Tighten for a Sleeker You
What conditions does a lower body lift address?
A lower body lift treats sagging skin and tissue caused by weight loss surgery, aging, or pregnancy. The procedure can address loose skin in the lower abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and hips, providing a more sculpted and toned lower body.
Lower Body Lift Techniques
Circumferential Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy)
A circumferential lower body lift, or belt lipectomy, is a comprehensive procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the entire midsection, including the abdomen, back, hips, and flanks. This technique is ideal for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and want to achieve a smoother, more contoured lower body. The result is a dramatic improvement in body shape and posture, enhancing both appearance and comfort.
Flank Lift
A flank lift focuses on contouring the sides of the body by removing excess skin and fat from the flanks, or "love handles." This procedure creates a more defined waistline and smoother transition between the upper and lower body. It’s an excellent option for patients looking to refine their silhouette and address stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise alone cannot resolve.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, targets excess skin and fat in the abdominal area while tightening weakened abdominal muscles. This technique creates a firmer, flatter abdomen, and is especially popular among individuals who have experienced significant weight changes or pregnancy. The procedure restores core strength and improves body confidence.
Buttocks Lift
A buttocks lift reshapes and lifts sagging skin and tissue in the buttock area to create a more youthful, sculpted appearance. This procedure often involves the removal of excess skin and the repositioning of underlying tissues to achieve a firmer, elevated contour. It’s a transformative option for those seeking to restore the natural shape and position of the buttocks after weight loss or aging.
Sculpt Your Dream Silhouette
What areas can a lower body lift address?

Uncover Your Potential
Am I a candidate for a lower body lift?
Candidates for a lower body lift are often individuals who have lost significant weight and have loose skin in the lower body. You should be in good health, at a stable weight, and not smoke. Realistic expectations are important, as the procedure focuses on contouring and tightening, not further weight loss.
From Loose Skin to Smooth Curves
Lower Body Lift Recovery
Recovery from a lower body lift takes about 3-4 weeks. During this time, patients will need to wear compression garments and limit their physical activities. Swelling and bruising are normal but subside within a few weeks. Full recovery may take several months, during which the body continues healing and scars fade.
