What Is a Lower Body Lift?
A lower body lift is a body contouring surgery performed to remove sagging skin and fat to give a lift to areas of the body that are most commonly affected by age, weight loss, and pregnancy. This procedure targets the middle and lower body, including the buttocks, stomach, flanks, lower back, and thighs. Based on the amount of skin removed, a circumferential 360 incision may be performed, which grants the highest amount of lift and skin excision. At HGH Plastic Surgery, our plastic surgeons have years of experience and training with lift surgeries. For individuals who are dealing with stubborn fat, a lower body lift can help them achieve their weight loss goals while also serving as the finishing step for their transformation, creating a tighter, healthier physique.

How Is a Lower Body Lift Performed?
Lower body lifts are typically performed in our outpatient facility with general anesthesia and can take 4 – 7 hours to complete. The surgical incision is commonly placed along the area where a belt is worn, which is why it is sometimes known as a circumferential 360 or a beltectomy. After making the incision, we will perform liposuction to eliminate all excess fat before trimming away the excess skin. Then, the remaining skin will be tightened and reattached with surgical sutures. Compression garments may be placed over the treated area to help create a trimmer result, as well as to control bleeding, bruising, and swelling.

Lower Body Lift Reviews
After losing almost a hundred pounds, I was left with extremely loose, sagging skin, and after consulting with three plastic surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Halka. He is exceptionally kind and patient with all my questions and concerns, and I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. He did my brachioplasty (arm lift) and breast lift 7 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with my results. My scars look fantastic, and I honestly can’t believe how wonderfully everything is healing. I’ve had zero problems or complications. Dr. Halka will be performing my next two surgeries, a lower body lift and a thigh lift, in the coming months, and I have no worries about my care and comfort in his hands. The nurses and staff at Hedden and Gunn have also all been extremely helpful and friendly. As nervous as I was to start this journey of skin removal and reconstruction, Dr. Halka and the entire H&G team have made it as easy and painless as it could be, and I am so grateful.
Dr.Halka performed a lower body lift with tummy tuck and muscle repair on me and I could not be happier. The transformation is so awesome and I’m not even done healing. It looks so good! Truly life changing for me. I highly recommend him. He is not only a great surgeon but he always comes in the room with a smile on his face and is ever patient to listen to anything you have to say or ask.
Dr. Halka not only met my expectations he exceeded them! I could not be happier with my lower body lift. Everyone that sees the before and after are amazed and tell me how lucky I am to have had a great surgeon. He is patient and answers all of your questions and it is evident he really cares. I would trust him with any procedure and recommend him to anyone. It feels so good to have my confidence back! Thank you Dr. Halka!

I underwent a lower body lift, muscle repair, and fat transfer with him, and I can honestly say the entire experience was life-changing from start to finish. Not only are my results incredible, but my recovery was genuinely a 10/10 — far smoother and easier than I ever anticipated.What stood out most to me was Dr. Gunn’s skill, attention to detail, and the level of care he showed throughout the entire process. He made me feel comfortable, informed, and confident every step of the way. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. His bedside manner is exceptional, and his staff was equally kind, supportive, and responsive.
