Lower Body Lift

Tightens and lifts the lower abdomen, buttocks, and thighs

Lower Body Lift At ASET Hospital

After a successful weight loss, people often find they are left with excess folds of skin that will not conform to their new body shape.

Not only is loose hanging skin unsightly, but it can also cause functional problems.  A large amount of excess skin can cover the pubis and groin.

Excoriation can occur in this area due to sweating.  Similarly, excess skin can hang off arms, chest, back and thighs. Inside the thigh, excess skin is a problem as it rubs against the other side.

Patients feel that in spite of losing weight, they cannot fully benefit from it as this excess skin restricts them and is also a cause of social embarrassment.

A lower body lift can remove this excess skin and tissue and may give patients a slimmer look and an improved shape.

Regain your natural shape and confidence with a body lift at ASET Hospital. With decades of experience in body lift procedures, our highly skilled surgeons are on hand to work with you to achieve a naturally sculpted and toned lower body that creates a definition of areas that once held excess fat.

Procedure

A body lift procedure is carried out under a general anaesthetic, lasts 3-5 hours and usually requires overnight hospital stay.

A lower body lift involves an abdominoplasty that extends around to the hips and back.

During this procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from the stomach, hips, and back, which, in turn, lifts the pubic area, outer thighs, and buttocks.

During this surgery, we will try to make sure that the scars are in areas hidden beneath the underwear.

Sometimes, liposuction alongside this surgery can be a very useful tool to remove excess fat and ensure an even result and desirable body shape.

Patients are most commonly dissatisfied if their expectations do not meet what can be realistically and safely achieved. For this reason, we try to get to know you before the procedure and talk to you about the results you can expect and what we can work together to achieve.

Am I Suitable For A Full Body Lift?

Patients are assessed on an individual basis in order to create a tailored care package personalised to the individual, which involves checking their medical and psychological health.

Our dedicated team will ensure that prior to your decision, you meet with a Consultant Plastic Surgeon to talk through your specific needs, questions and queries.

Risks

Due to incisions being all the way around the body, a body lift procedure carries a higher risk of complications than average surgeries.

After the surgery, it is normal to expect some bruising, but other risks can include infection, bleeding, haematoma, pain, wound breakdown, asymmetry, wrinkles and folds of skin, skin loss, unevenness and wide, lumpy, red or visible scars.

*Individual Results May Vary.

Your well-being is our priority, and ASET Hospital will provide a comprehensive and personalised aftercare package, which is included in your treatment.
