A lower body lift is a surgical procedure to enhance the contour and appearance of the lower body. Dr. Singh offers this surgery to individuals seeking significant improvements in the appearance of their abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. It can be a valuable option for those looking to address excess skin and tissue after significant weight loss or due to aging.
Enhance Overall Lower Body Contours
A lower body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the lower body. It is typically sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, such as bariatric surgery patients, or those dealing with loose, sagging skin due to aging. This surgical intervention addresses multiple areas of the lower body, including the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs, allowing patients to achieve a more toned and youthful silhouette.
During a lower body lift, excess skin and fat are removed to tighten and contour the treated areas. The procedure can also include liposuction to suction out excess fat deposits and further refine the contours. This surgery is not a one-size-fits-all solution, as it can be customized to meet the unique goals and needs of each patient. It provides a solution for those looking to address the excess skin and tissue that diet and exercise alone cannot resolve.

Lower Body Lift FAQs
How is a lower body lift different from a tummy tuck or liposuction?
While a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) primarily focuses on the abdomen, a lower body lift addresses the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs all in one procedure. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat, along with the potential use of liposuction to contour the treated areas. Liposuction, on the other hand, is a fat removal procedure and doesn’t address sagging skin.
What are the risks and potential complications of a lower body lift?
Like any surgical procedure, a lower body lift carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Other potential complications may include asymmetry, delayed wound healing, and changes in skin sensation. However, our experienced plastic surgeons take all possible measures to mitigate these risks.
What is the recovery process like after a lower body lift?
Recovery varies from person to person but generally involves a period of restricted activity and discomfort. You must wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support the healing process. Most patients can return to light activities within a few weeks, with a full recovery taking several months.
Will there be noticeable scars after a lower body lift?
Yes, there will be scars, but their visibility can improve over time. Scarring is an inherent part of any surgery that involves incisions. Our skilled surgeons place incisions strategically to minimize the visibility of scars, often concealing them within the natural contours of your body or in discreet locations like the bikini line. Over time, scars fade and become less noticeable, but it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions to promote optimal healing.
