Lower Body Lift is three procedures in the same operative session
The lower body lift is performed on patients who have excess skin around the entire middle area of their body. The most extreme cases are from patients who have undergone massive weight loss.

Lower bodylift
A lower bodylift usually incorporates the following procedures: abdominoplasty with repair of diastasis recti, mons elevation, lateral thigh lift and buttock lift. Liposuction is performed as an adjunct for removal of residual localized fat deposits. The possibility of autogenous buttock augmenation can be entertained at the time of lower bodylift.

Thank you for your question.
A lower body lift would include procedures to address the tummy, thighs, and buttocks. Patients who have lost a significant amount of weight benefit from this procedure as it removes the excess hanging skin. Depending on the comfort of the surgeon and the health of the patient, the procedures may be broken up in to separate procedures if the surgeon feels that performing them all at once is too much surgery for the patient.
