What is a Lower Body Lift?A lower body lift is a hospital procedure, usually requiring a stay of at least two days following the surgery. In preparation for the lower body lift, the surgeon will make extensive markings on the patient's body, indicating where the incisions will be made. The surgery is performed under general anesthetic, with the patient fully unconscious for the duration of the lower body lift procedure. There are three specific stages in which the surgeon conducts a lower body lift. In the first two stages, the patient is lying on the side, and excess skin and fat tissues are removed from the buttock and hip/thigh areas. The final stage is similar to the normal tummy tuck and removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, tightening abdominal muscles. The incisions used in lower body lifts are designed to be hidden by the swimsuit or underwear, and usually run circumferentially around the upper thigh. Email Dr. Carp Back to top
