Lower Body Lift
DESERT BLOOM PLASTIC SURGERY
Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that targets the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks to address significant skin laxity following major weight loss or aging. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have achieved significant weight reduction and are left with sagging skin that cannot retract naturally.
A lower body lift offers a complete transformation by tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and restoring natural body contours.
This procedure helps patients achieve a firmer, more sculpted appearance, improving mobility, comfort, and self-confidence.
Procedure Overview
Incision Placement
- A circumferential incision is made around the lower torso to remove excess skin from the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Muscle Tightening
- The underlying muscles, particularly in the abdominal region, are reinforced for additional support and improved core strength.
Skin and Fat Removal
- Loose skin is trimmed, and stubborn fat pockets are sculpted to create a smooth, firm contour.
Closure
- Sutures and skin adhesives are used to promote healing while ensuring minimal scarring.
Recovery Timeline:
- Patients require 4-6 weeks for initial recovery with compression garments worn to support the healing process.
- Swelling and bruising gradually subside, with final results visible over several months.
- Patients can resume normal activities and exercise gradually with medical guidance.
Considerations:
- Scarring is carefully placed to be hidden under clothing.
- Proper nutrition and hydration support the healing process.
- Maintaining a stable weight is essential for preserving results.
