Lower Body Lift

{Procedure} at a Glance

A lower body lift is a plastic surgery procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the lower torso. Specifically, it targets areas like the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and outer thighs. A common procedure after significant weight loss, a lower body lift aims to remove sagging skin and improve the overall contour of the lower body. It’s commonly performed after a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty in a separate stage, though the two can be done simultaneously in some cases.

Overview

A lower body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, lower back, outer thighs, and buttocks to tighten and reshape the lower body.

Recovery
Benefits

Every recovery journey is unique, but downtime typically lasts 1–3 weeks, with restrictions on heavy lifting and water submersion for 6–8 weeks.

Results

You'll notice progressive improvements along the way, but true results are typically seen around 12–18 months post-op.

What do {procedure} scars look like?

Lower Body Scars – Front View

The front incision for a lower body lift typically runs low across the abdomen, just above the groin line. This allows excess skin to be removed from the lower abdomen, hips, and thighs while keeping the scar concealed beneath most underwear or swimwear.

Lower Body Scars – Back View

The back incision extends across the lower back, just above the buttocks. This placement helps lift and reshape the outer thighs and buttocks, with the scar positioned to be hidden under most clothing.

Recovery & Results Timeline

Keep in mind that every recovery is unique. Your surgeon will give you individualized instructions and timelines during your consultation.

  • 1–3 weeks
    Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common. You may be asked to wear compression garments to reduce swelling and promote healing for six weeks. Generally, recovery from doing the front and the back at the same time has a bit more swelling, bruising, and time.
  • 6–8 weeks
    You may be cleared for exercise, resume water submersion, and discontinue compression garments. 
  • 6–12 months
    For many patients, most of the swelling has resolved, and the scars are progressively fading. Post-op photos are often taken around six months after the procedure.
  • 12–18 months
    Many patients find the majority of swelling has resolved and results become visible, revealing a smoother, more contoured lower body.
