What Does A Lower Body Lift Include?
Many cosmetic surgery procedures are designed to remove extra skin, particularly after a patient has lost a large amount of weight. With the reduction in fat, the skin cannot always adequately retract and ends up bunching up. While this can happen pretty much anywhere on the body, the abdomen and lower body is particularly susceptible to it. A lower body lift is the go-to option in these situations. What does a lower body lift include?
A lower body lift starts off with a traditional tummy tuck incision to address extra skin on the abdomen. It may also correct diastasis recti which often occurs with major weight changes. From there, the incision continues around the hips and completely circles the body to meet at the center of the back. This is where extra skin along the hips, flanks, and back is removed.
The circular incision may sound intense, but for people who have significant extra skin on their lower body, this can dramatically improve their life. From fitting into clothing that actually fits correctly to finding it easier to exercise, a lower body lift is a life changing surgery.
In some cases, other body areas can be addressed such as the thighs or arms. This generally depends on the amount of skin that needs removed and how long of a surgery the patient can safely withstand. To learn more and schedule a consultation, call us at 941-923-1736.
