Before & After


What is a Lower Body Lift?
A Lower Body Lift is a surgical procedure that targets the lower torso and upper legs to remove excess skin and fat, tighten underlying muscles, and improve overall body contour. This procedure often includes a combination of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), thigh lift, and buttock lift to create a more toned and balanced appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Lower Body Lift?
Ideal candidates for a Lower Body Lift are individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, and are left with loose, sagging skin around the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. It is also an excellent option for those who have lost skin elasticity due to aging. Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
During a Lower Body Lift, Dr. Antell makes carefully planned incisions to remove excess skin and fat. The underlying muscles are then tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother, more youthful contour. Depending on your specific needs, the procedure may be performed in stages or combined with other body contouring surgeries.
What is the Recovery Process Like?
Recovery from a Lower Body Lift can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and individual healing rates. Most patients can expect to take about 2 to 3 weeks off from work and should avoid strenuous activities for 6 to 8 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common but gradually subside over time. Dr. Antell provides detailed post-operative care instructions and closely monitors your recovery to ensure the best possible outcome.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The results of a Lower Body Lift are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet. While the aging process continues, most patients find that the improvements from the surgery are durable and maintain their new, contoured shape for many years.
