Weight fluctuations, aging, and other factors can cause the body to develop excess skin and fat. Some changes we would like to make to the body are nearly impossible without surgery; even traditional weight-loss methods may prove insufficient for improving certain aesthetics of the body. Patients who are concerned about the silhouette of their body and would like a dramatic change may be candidates for a lower body lift. A lower body lift is a comprehensive treatment that includes several procedures performed during one operation to create a more slender and toned body.

Achieved With Lower Body Lift Surgery
Model
A Slimmer Waistline
A lower body lift concentrates on slimming and tightening the lower areas of the body, including the midsection, thighs, and buttocks. Incisions are made discreetly along the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Excess skin and fat are trimmed away, core muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is redraped over the newly defined contours. Patients will notice their slimmer waistline and better-sculpted torso.
Attractive Curves
When someone loses an excessive amount of weight, they may be proud of their accomplishment; however, they may look down at their body and see that they have lost girth but are left with excess sagging skin. Patients who undergo body lift surgery will notice that getting rid of excess skin and fat provides more harmony among their other features. Liposuction can also be used to sculpt and even out the body contours. Patients will be happy with their slimmer body that appears more defined with more attractive curves.
Better Comfort
Many patients find that excess skin throughout the body can be uncomfortable, particularly loose skin between the legs and thighs. The constant friction of the skin rubbing against the body can eventually lead to painful irritation and chafing. Once the skin is removed and tightened, patients can alleviate the pain and comfortably move around and participate in activities without pain or agitation.
Confidence
When loose, drooping skin is present along the body, people may feel insecure about how they look underneath clothing or exposed, even when they are at their goal weight. They may be embarrassed to show off their body because it looks lax and unflattering. After body lift surgery, patients can confidently show off their newly shaped contours in clothing that they had typically avoided wearing before.
Our philosophy is to create the most natural results and never do more than is necessary.
