Lower Body Lift

One operation. Complete lower-body transformation. lipectomy or circumferential body lift — is the most comprehensive lower-body contouring procedure available. A single, continuous incision around the entire circumference of the lower torso simultaneously removes excess skin and lifts the abdomen, flanks, outer thighs, and buttocks in a single operation.

It is the procedure of choice for patients who have lost massive amounts of weight and carry circumferential skin excess — a 'belt' of loose skin hanging around the entire midsection. No other procedure addresses all of these areas as effectively or efficiently.

A lower body lift in one operation achieves what would otherwise require 3 separate procedures — tummy tuck, outer thigh lift, and buttock lift. For the right patient, this is the most efficient and transformative single operation in body contouring surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the scar from a lower body lift?

The scar runs circumferentially around the lower torso — essentially like a belt. It is placed low enough to be hidden by underwear and most swimwear. While the scar is significant in length, it is strategic in placement and fades considerably over 12-18 months. Most patients consider it a completely acceptable trade-off.

Is a lower body lift the same as a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck addresses only the front of the abdomen. A lower body lift addresses the entire circumference — front, sides, and back — in a single operation. For patients with circumferential skin excess, a tummy tuck alone would leave significant excess on the sides and back.
