I have a full back tattoo that goes down to the crack of my butt and I was wondering if I would loose some of my tattoo if I had a Lower body lift. I am pretty thin, I just want the lift to tighten up skin and reduce cellulite. I don't have severe loose skin like someone who lost 100 + pounds.
Answer: Tattoo Removal During Lower Body Lift Surgery When patients undergo lower body lift surgery, significant amounts of skin are often removed from the back. When tattoos are located in this area, they are often removed. It's virtually impossible in your particular case, to know if your tattoo would be removed without pictures. For this reason, it's appropriate to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who can make this determination.

Answer: Lower Body Lift Skin Removal Effecting Tattoo Thank you for your question. Without an exam or photographs it would be hard to say specifically how much of your tattoo would be effected. Most likely, the skin around the top portions of your hips or buttocks will be taken in order to get the shape you are looking for. Incision placement can be varied and the affect on your tattoo could be thought through with you in person during your consultation. Best of luck.

Answer: Will my tattoo be altered with a 360 body lift? Dear Annisa, This is a difficult question to answer without examining you in person. Typically, when I perform a 360 body lift, I do not remove much skin over the buttock crease. However, as I extend the incision toward to the hips, more skin and fat is removed. The more excessive the skin, the more that is removed. I would guess, if you had a 360 body lift, the portion of your tattoo closest to your hips would be removed slightly and the portion of your tattoo over the buttock crease would be unchanged. I do not believe that your tattoo would be pulled down because the vector for the 360 body lift pulls the buttock upwards, not really downwards. Good luck on your weight loss journey. SIncerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Lower body lift and tattoo on back
Thank you for your question.
Without examining you and the exact placement of your tattoo, it's difficult to say but from what you are describing, it sounds like your tattoo may be affected by the lower body lift.
Your plastic surgeon should be able to draw things out and show you how much he/she thinks would be affected.
Best Wishes!

Answer: Lower body lift and full back tattoo to buttock crease--Yes, it will be "trimmed."
If you are indeed a candidate for lower body lift, the incision runs from the tip if the gluteal crease along what would be a thong or g-string panty line, communicating with the same bikini-line scar from the front tummy tuck portion of the beltlift. Depending on the lowest extent of your tattoo at the buttock crease and upper buttock-hip areas, it may end up being partially included in the excised skin. If so, the tattoo can always be re-inked after complete healing!
