Lower Body Lift After Massive Weight Loss
The lower body lift is a combination of a circumferential abdominoplasty, buttock lift, and outer or lateral thigh lift. Through the circumferential abdominoplasty incisions, the excess lower back, waist, upper thigh, and abdominal tissues are excised. The buttock tissue is elevated and secured at an appropriately marked position on the lower back. A buttock lift on its own can result in flattening of the buttock region. Dr. Agha often combines this procedure with buttock augmentation (see below). The outer thighs are undermined selectively, elevated, and secured at a higher position to complete the lower body lift. This results in a smoother contour of the outer thigh skin and recreates the waist concavity. Finally, the excess abdominal tissue is excised, and the abdominoplasty is completed in front.
