A lower body lift generally refers to a procedure known as a belt lipectomy a.k.a. circumferential body lift.  These procedures are usually tailored for a patient who has experience significant weight loss.   These procedures are designed to recontour the entire waist and lower trunk. 

They include 3 procedures:

  1. Tummy Tuck
  2. Waist lift/lateral thigh lift
  3. buttock lift 

Many of my female patients who have lost volume in the their buttocks also option for buttock augmentation using their own tissue (auto-augmentation).   These procedures are all very powerful.  But the basic principle applies - you must accept some degree of scar for better form.  

The good news - we strive to hide the scar in your waist/bikini line.
