A lower body lift, also called a belt lipectomy, removes the loose, excess skin and tissue left after extreme weight loss. Like a face lift, reshapes the face, a lower body lift can tighten and tone the hips, thighs, buttocks, stomach and waistline, leaving them firm and smooth.
Excess skin and tissue are trimmed away, remaining skin and tissue are tightened, and the incision sutured. The dramatic and often life-changing results of a lower body lift include a flatter stomach, narrower waistline, and more-taut and sculpted hips, thighs and buttocks.
While the techniques used in body lift and abdominoplasty procedures are similar, a lower body lift is a more complex surgery than a tummy tuck because it works around the circumference of the body. Contact our office in Thousand Oaks to find out if lower body lift surgery is right for you.
