Lower body lift and belt lipectomy surgery in Westchester County, New York (New York City, White Plains, Mount Kisco)

Frequently patients seeking contouring of their trunk receive a tummy tuck rather than a lower body lift. A lower body lift addresses sagging skin in the lateral thighs and buttocks while an abdominoplasty addresses primarily the abdomen.

A lower body lift procedure improves the contours of the abdomen, lateral thighs and buttocks in a single operation. It is most commonly performed in patients that have had a significant weight loss from diet and exercise or from bariatric surgery. Results in the abdomen, thighs and buttocks can be dramatic. The best candidates for circumferential body contouring procedures such as a lower body lift are those who have maintained a stable weight for at least six months.

Isolated lifts such as an abdominoplasty or lateral thigh lift are appropriate in the right patients; however, when performed in patients with a circumferential problem, an isolated lift may result in disproportion with the remaining unlifted tissues. It is these patients with laxity of the buttocks, thighs and abdomen who are well suited for a lower body lift. Rather than just recontouring the abdomen alone, a lower body lift improves the contours of the entire trunk.
