Weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can bring challenges, such as sagging skin and stubborn fat around your abdomen, waist, and hips. While lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, can help tighten muscles, addressing these cosmetic concerns often requires a more aggressive surgical approach.
A lower body lift in Mansfield can create a more toned and contoured appearance for your buttocks, hips, thighs, and abdomen. This advanced body contouring procedure is a powerful option to address your concerns and improve your self confidence.
A lower body lift is a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures that removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs. It is commonly used to address skin laxity after significant weight loss or loss of elasticity due to age, which cannot always be corrected by healthy lifestyle changes.
A lower body lift is essentially a 360-degree tummy tuck. The procedure will remove excess skin from the abdomen, hips, and lower back and often utilizes liposuction for optimal results. This will result in a flatter/tighter abdomen and elevation of the lateral thighs and buttocks. This may also reduce cellulite in these areas.
While everyone has unique reasons for wanting a lower body lift, Mansfield patients may have excess skin in the abdomen, buttock, and thigh regions due to significant weight loss. Many have had gastric surgery, resulting in weight loss of over 100 pounds.
Unwanted changes after pregnancy are also a common reason for patients to pursue a lower body lift. This region significantly expands during pregnancy, and women’s bodies often do not return to a pre-pregnancy state after childbirth. Aging can also cause fat deposits to appear in these areas, along with a natural decrease in collagen and elasticity over time that causes the skin to sag.
Whether you are struggling with skin laxity and stubborn fat around the lower trunk due to one of these factors or something else, a lower body lift addresses these cosmetic concerns. It can help clients achieve a firmed and toned appearance that they would not have gotten from lifestyle changes alone.
While a lower body lift can produce the desired results for many patients in Mansfield, it is not appropriate for every patient. It is important to note that while this procedure can remove some fat, it is not designed to be a weight loss surgery. Ideal candidates will be at or near their ideal body weight to minimize complications and optimize outcomes. If you are still working toward your weight loss goals or still plan to become pregnant, we recommend that you wait until you are at an ideal weight so you can get the most out of your lower body lift.
Appropriate candidates are generally healthy, non-smoking, with an appropriate diet and lifestyle. The best way to know if you are an appropriate candidate is by scheduling an initial consultation at our office. Our dedicated team will ask you questions about your medical history and goals. We will then determine your eligibility and create an individualized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.
A lower body lift is an empowering way to gain the self-confidence you need after losing significant weight. Our dedicated team is here for you every step of the way to guide you through the surgical process.
