What Is A Lower Body Lift?
Life-changing weight loss or aging can leave loose, sagging skin around the hips, thighs, and buttocks. A lower body lift is a surgical procedure at Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. that removes excess skin and tightens the tissues to create a smoother, more contoured look. This surgery is often sought by individuals who experience sagging skin after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Lower body lift surgery targets the lower half of the body, addressing areas that may not respond to diet and exercise. Schedule a consultation at Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. in Centerville, OH to learn more about this life-changing option.
How Is A Lower Body Lift Performed?
Lower body lift surgery is customized to meet each person's unique needs. The procedure typically involves going under general anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the surgery. Incisions are made strategically around the lower body, often just above the buttocks or hips. The exact placement will depend on your specific concerns. Excess skin and tissue are removed to address sagging areas. Liposuction may also be used to refine the contour. Underlying tissues are then tightened to improve body contours before incisions are carefully closed with sutures. Drains may be placed to help reduce fluid buildup during recovery. The entire procedure typically takes several hours to complete, depending on the extent of the corrections. After surgery, patients will need to follow specific recovery instructions to promote healing and achieve optimal lower body lift results.
What Are the Benefits of A Lower Body Lift?
A lower body lift after weight loss provides both functional and aesthetic benefits. This procedure can restore comfort and improve confidence by addressing loose skin and enhancing contours. Benefits of this transformative surgery include:
- Reduces excess skin around the lower abdomen, thighs, and buttocks
- Improves the appearance of cellulite in some cases
- Helps clothing fit more comfortably and attractively
- Enhances physical comfort by reducing chafing and skin irritation
- Boosts self-esteem with a firmer, more sculpted silhouette
Plastic Surgery Institute of Dayton, Inc. Reviews
Good people very caring , I don’t have family here in Ohio so having a staff that cares means a lot to this southern gal !
Dr. Hedrick carefully closed a fairly large hole left by removal of a deep melanoma removed from mom's temple by another excellent surgeon, Dr. Tuttle from Kettering oncology. Very happy with his work at only the third day following surgery. Minimal drainage, almost no swelling, and very light, almost unnoticeable bruising. 0 pain unless I press to hard in cleaning as directed. Far better than I was expecting. Personally, I find him very personable with a good sense of humor that is appropriately applied in timely fashion. He thoughtfully explains each step and thoroughly answers any questions. I can't imagine what else we could expect beyond what he has provided. Thank you!
Amazing group.
Dr. Hedrick was great! He got me into the office quickly, took the time to explain everything and alleviated all my concerns about the size of the scar needed to remove my skin cancer.
I love Dr Fox and everyone at this office!
