If you have loose skin, no amount of exercise will tighten or improve its elasticity. A lower body lift may assist you in correcting this.

A lower body lift aims to remove and tighten loose skin; however, it is not designed to remove a significant amount of fat.

Many patients who request a lower body lift have lost weight and have excess skin that needs to be tightened.  An ideal candidate for a lower body lift is someone with loose, sagging skin but who is not overweight or obese. 

During this procedure, the excess skin and some fat are removed and the remaining tissues are tightened. This may produce a more attractive body contour. Skin laxity and poor tone may also be related to the normal aging process, pregnancy, or significant weight loss.

A lower body lift differs from liposuction, as liposuction removes only fat. A lower body lift can tighten skin and improve cellulite. Lower body lift surgery is a significant surgery. Following surgery the patient will require two to three nights stay in Hospital. Following this procedure it is important to rest and relax. Most patients will take two to three weeks off work to recover.

A body lift is usually performed along with liposuction, to remove any pockets of fat and to give the best overall result. It may also be combined with inner thigh lifts.
