Lower body lift works well for masive weight loss patients . These patients have a lot of loose skin . The down side of the lower body iift is the scar and it's position. For the maasive weight loss patient scar my be extended to the inner thigh. For the patients after liposuction with loose skin limited lift works better.

The other down side is the wound breakdown and this is very common since incision is in the crease of the innner thigh and very hard to keep it dry and clean. This is usually limited and local wound care will resolve it.
