What Is a Lower Body Lift?
Lower Body Lift Can:
- Remove loose, sagging skin throughout the thighs, buttock, and abdominal regions
- Eliminate stubborn fat pockets throughout the lower body region
- Tighten the abdominal muscle wall for a firmer and rejuvenated appearance
- Improve the overall contour of the lower body
Dr. Chapin's Approach to Lower Body Lift Surgery
Dr. Chapin is an expert in a variety of body contouring procedures that eliminate sagging, excess skin. Typically, a lower body lift includes an abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, as well as a thigh and buttock lift. Excess skin and fat are eliminated from the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks area to restore tighter, firmer, and more youthful appearance to the lower body. Generally, two or more body contouring procedures are performed in conjunction with each other to achieve optimal results. Dr. Chapin can also simultaneously perform liposuction that can help patients achieve the figure they always imagined.
Surgical body lift procedures require an incision in the targeted areas. However, Dr. Chapin strategically places the incision in discrete locations that are easily concealed by clothing or the body’s natural shape. Excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed from the targeted areas to restore a flatter, tighter figure. Next, liposuction will be performed if it has been elected by the patient to eliminate any stubborn fat deposits. Dr. Chapin will repair any underlying muscle wall laxity by utilizing internal sutures. The remaining skin is then pulled taut and realigned as needed before closing the incisions with dissolving sutures and applying the final dressings.

Lower Body Lift Surgery Recovery
It is common for patients to experience swelling, bruising, tenderness, discomfort, or pain in the treated areas. Ice packs and oral pain medication will help relieve these symptoms during the initial recovery period, and any discomfort will taper during the healing process. Individuals undergoing the procedure should plan to take about two weeks off from work or their daily routine. During this time, it is crucial to avoid any strenuous activity and to get plenty of rest. Dr. Chapin will provide complete preoperative and postoperative care instructions. He will monitor and advise when patients can gradually resume their daily activities, including exercise. Out-of-town patients may typically fly on an airplane within seven to 10 days of the procedure.
