Lower Body Lift
Significant weight loss is an extraordinary achievement that allows patients to look and feel their best. However, sometimes these efforts alone cannot meet patients’ aesthetic goals. In many cases, skin is inelastic after significant weight loss, and it may look saggy.
It’s also common for pockets of exercise-resistant fat to be left behind. It can be discouraging to deal with this, especially after sticking to healthy lifestyle changes or undergoing weight-loss surgery. Sagging skin and persistent fat on the lower body can also be present due to aging or genetics as well. A lower body lift (also called a “belt lipectomy”) is a practical solution for addressing these cosmetic concerns.

WHAT DOES LOWER BODY LIFT SURGERY INVOLVE?
Since each patient has different needs, the lower body lift will vary. Our surgeons use a combination of surgical techniques, including the following:
-
Fat Removal: Liposuction effectively eliminates excess fat deposits that persist, despite diet and exercise.
-
Abdominoplasty: Also known as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty is a body contouring procedure that is used to flatten the abdomen by tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess fat deposits and loose skin.
-
Thigh Lift: A thigh lift is used to improve the contours by tightening excess skin and reducing the size of the thighs to improve symmetry.
-
Buttock Lift and Augmentation: A buttock lift can tighten sagging skin on the buttocks, and augmentation through fat transfer can help to increase its firmness and improve its contours.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LOWER BODY LIFT?
The benefits of lower body lift are to eliminate sagging skin, remove excess fat, and overall restore a smooth, sculpted appearance to the hips, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Patients who undergo this surgery experience a tremendous boost in self-esteem and feel like they can finally enjoy the results of their weight loss efforts.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LOWER BODY LIFT SURGERY?
Patients considering a lower body lift in typically have lost a significant amount of weight through either surgery or traditional methods. Other patients have developed persistent fat and sagging skin on the lower body due to genetics or weight fluctuations over the years. In either case, a lower body lift can produce excellent results.
Lower body lift patients usually exhibit the following:
-
Sagging skin on the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs
-
Excess fat deposits on the lower body that don’t respond to diet or exercise
-
Inhibited mobility and skin irritation due to excess fat or sagging skin
-
Reduced self-esteem and social anxiety
