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: 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!

Answer: Tattoos and body lift
Yes, it does sound like your tattoo would be affected somewhat. In the design of the body lift, typically more skin is excised in the zone over the middle portion of the buttock, and somewhat less in the midline of your back. The amount of tattoo removal would, of course, correspond with the amount of skin removal. You could re-ink the missing portion of your art at a later date, though.
All the best!
