What is a lower body lift?
A lower body lift may remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks and contour these areas. It is often considered after significant weight loss.
Who should seek an evaluation?
The source guide describes patients left with loose skin and tissue along the lower torso after bariatric surgery or weight loss through other means.
Your surgeon evaluates your health and anatomy and explains whether a lower body lift, a tummy tuck or another approach is suitable.
Surgery and early care
The source guide describes general anesthesia and hospital observation following surgery. As an extensive procedure, a lower body lift requires a detailed recovery plan.
Confirm your expected hospital stay, aftercare arrangements and instructions for managing discomfort with your team.
Planning time to recover
The source guide discusses restricted activity, incision care and compression garments during recovery. Return to light activity and full activity are separate milestones.
Ask for your individual time-off-work plan, lifting restrictions, garment instructions, follow-up schedule and medical clearance to travel.
