Dr. MacArthur did my lower body lift surgery. One week post procedure and the results are impressive. My buttocks and hips are symmetrical, lifted and smooth. The incision scar is long but thin and well placed. First couple of days, the pain was minimal, now it's better described as discomfort. Last year, I had liposuction on my flanks and lower back but my buttocks and hips remained thick and misshaped. In my case, I beleive this was due to aging and not weightoss. A decade ago, I had a tummy tuck and I was hoping to acheive a similar tightening and smoothing of my back side with a lower body lift.
If you are contemptlating this type of surgery, know that as a lone procedure, not combined with abdominoplasty or a thigh lift, the recovery is fairly easy. All around, the whole experience has been positive. Dr. MacArthur is a very skilled surgeon. No regrets!
