Lower Body Lift

Over time, factors like age, childbirth, gravity and daily life can impact your hips, thighs and lower back. A lower body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, can help rejuvenate these areas and boost your confidence.

Consider combining it with a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, to achieve a flatter and tighter stomach with just one incision.

What is a lower body lift?

A lower body lift is a plastic surgery technique that reshapes your abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks. It is an ideal procedure for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are dealing with loose or sagging skin.

The surgeon makes an incision in a belt-like pattern from the lower abdomen to the back region. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed or repositioned to achieve the desired shape. The overstretched skin is tightened, resulting in a more contoured body. It's important to note that this surgery is considered major and does leave a permanent scar, although it can generally be concealed below underwear.
