Lower Body Lift Alternative - Is This Possible?

July 29, 2013

Instead of getting a lower body lift or a butt lift, you get a tummy tuck in a perpendicular way...skin is pulled in form the sides, with a vertical scar.Once heeled, a traditional tummy tuck is preformed and the first scar is cut away. More skin is removed and the backside gets some tightening, but with no 360 degree scar. Downside - two surgeries but with a more aesthetic look. Might not lift as much, but a good option for someone who has mild laxity.
