Who is a Good Candidate For Lower Body Lift Surgery?

Men and women who have lost a large amount of weight and now have excess skin on the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks are often good candidates for a lower body lift. Patients should be in overall good health and be at a stable weight. An in-office consultation with Dr. Homas or Dr. Brostrom can help to determine your candidacy.

The Lower Body Lift Procedure

The lower body lift procedure commonly includes an incision made horizontally across the hipbones and along the bikini line to tighten the abdomen, groin, waist, thighs, and buttocks all in one procedure. This is a body contouring surgery that is capable of removing an apron of loose skin, excess tissue, and excess fat and improving the overall contour of the lower torso. Most scarring will be hidden beneath underwear or a bathing suit.

Recovery After Lower Body Lift Procedures

After your body contouring surgical procedure is finished, drains will be placed to help collect any excess fluids during recovery. You can expect to wear compression garments on the treated areas to help reduce swelling and support the new contours. Patients should not do any strenuous activity or lifting for 4-6 weeks, so be sure to have someone to help you at home. Any discomfort can be controlled with pain medication and usually resolves within a week or two after surgery. Results from a body lift are permanent, so you can enjoy your new body contour long-term!
