Lower Body Lift

Transform the abdomen, hips and buttocks together

A lower body lift is the most comprehensive single-stage body contouring procedure available — addressing loose skin and tissue laxity around the entire circumference of the lower trunk. For patients who have experienced massive weight loss, it delivers a transformation that individual procedures cannot match.

The procedure combines a tummy tuck at the front with a buttock lift at the back through a single belt-like incision placed at the hip line. Excess skin is excised all the way around, the abdominal muscles can be tightened, and the buttocks and outer thighs are elevated simultaneously.

Key Benefits

Addresses abdomen, flanks, buttocks and outer thighs in one procedure
Dramatic improvement for post-bariatric or massive weight loss patients
Single recovery period rather than staged procedures over months
Long-lasting result with stable body weight

What to Expect

Pre-surgical Assessment

Medical fitness, nutritional status and weight stability confirmed over several consultations.

Surgical Planning

Skin marking and lift design mapped with the patient standing to ensure optimal placement.

Surgery

Circumferential excision and tissue elevation under general anaesthesia; 4–6 hours.

Recovery

Hospital stay of 1–2 nights; drain removal and compression garment protocol over 6 weeks.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients require 3–4 weeks off work and 6–8 weeks before returning to full physical activity. The final contour result is visible at 6–12 months once all swelling has resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a lower body lift safe?

It is a major surgical procedure requiring full medical clearance, but is safely performed at accredited facilities by experienced surgeons. Patient selection is critical.

Can I have it done in stages instead?

Yes — many patients opt for a staged approach, addressing the abdomen first, then the posterior. Your surgeon will advise based on your health and goals.
