Combining a Lower Body Lift with Other Body Contouring Procedures
&srotate=0)
Excess skin, fat, and loose tissue can create challenges for patients seeking a firmer and more defined appearance — especially after significant weight loss. At Sawan Surgical Aesthetics near Oklahoma City, OK, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kamal Sawan offers lower body lift procedures designed to target the abdomen, flanks, and buttocks. For an even more complete transformation, patients may combine their lower body lifts with other complementary body contouring procedures — like a thigh lift and others — creating a tailored solution to help meet their unique goals. Explore which treatments to pair with lower body lift surgery for a new look you can enjoy from almost every angle.
What's included in lower body lift?
A lower body lift is a transformative body contouring procedure that addresses loose, sagging skin and excess fat in the lower portion of the body. The surgery typically focuses on reshaping and smoothing the abdomen, flanks, and buttocks. While a lower body lift provides comprehensive results for the targeted areas, it does not typically include the thighs. However, for patients looking to address saggy thigh skin or extra fat in the thighs, Dr. Sawan often recommends combining a thigh lift with the lower body lift for a more complete transformation.
What is a full body lift?
Patients with significant loose skin throughout the upper and lower body may benefit from a full body lift. This more extensive procedure combines the effects of an upper body lift — addressing areas like the arms, chest, and back— with a lower body lift for an all-encompassing approach. Full body lifts are particularly beneficial for men and women who have experienced extreme weight loss and require more comprehensive contouring to achieve their desired look. In many cases, having a full body lift after weight loss surgery can be considered.
What procedures can be combined with lower body lift surgery?
Patients looking to further refine their silhouette often combine lower body lift surgery with additional procedures to address areas not included in a lower body lift. Common treatments to pair with lower body lift surgery include:
Should I get more than a lower body lift?
Ideal candidates for a lower body lift or combined procedures are those who are in good overall health, at or near their goal weight, and have realistic expectations for their results. Patients with loose skin after weight loss or aging are particularly good candidates for the procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Sawan will assess your individual needs and determine the course of action to achieve your desired outcome.
How long is recovery for lower body lift surgery?
Lower body lift surgery and complementary procedures are typically performed using general anesthesia. Dr. Sawan uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and create natural-looking results. Recovery time for a lower body lift varies depending on unique case factors — including whether additional procedures are performed in conjunction with a lower body lift — but most patients can expect to return to light activities within a few weeks and full activity level after several months. Dr. Sawan provides detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery and help you achieve long-lasting lower body lift results you can love.
