Introduction
At Elite Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Phoenix, or Chandler, we prioritize innovative, transformative treatments that help our patients achieve a more attractive appearance and increased confidence. A lower body lift, or belt lipectomy, removes loose, drooping skin and is ideal for those who have undergone significant weight loss. The procedure improves the look of the thighs, hips, abdomen, and buttocks, eliminating discomfort, irritation, poor hygiene, and self-consciousness.
The lower body lift is a series of multiple plastic surgeries that can create aesthetic changes and improve the appearance of the torso, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. At Elite Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, Chandler, and Phoenix, AZ, our plastic and reconstructive surgeons, Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi, can combine several lower-body lift procedures to remove excess skin.
This process will significantly reduce unwanted fat (resistant to diet and exercise) and excess skin, creating a sleeker, slimmer body contour. After a private consultation, our plastic surgeons can recommend surgical excision and nonsurgical body-contouring procedures (laser and ultrasonic fat removal, liposuction, and Emsculpt) tailored to your case. Although results and techniques used may vary, your personalized treatment plan can put you on the path to a firmer, leaner you.
Ideal candidates for a lower body lift in Scottsdale, Phoenix, or Chandler are healthy, non-smoking individuals with realistic expectations for results, based on an in-depth consultation with Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi. They typically experience loose, sagging skin that has accumulated after significant weight loss or pregnancy, and are seeking a body-contouring procedure to help them regain their confidence.
A lower body lift in Phoenix or Chandler comes with a wealth of impressive advantages. Benefits include:
Many patients seek a lower body lift for the following reasons:
As discussed during your treatment planning session, multiple procedures will be performed at once during a lower-body lift. Common procedures performed during a lower body lift are a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), panniculectomy, thigh lift, and butt lift. The surgical techniques will be discussed with you, along with the associated risks and potential scarring.
Our skilled plastic surgeons will take the necessary precautions to conceal incision scars within the natural folds and creases of your skin. We can also mask or remove scars with nonsurgical scar removal procedures or paramedical micropigmentation once the wounds are fully healed.
All of your lower-body lift procedures will be performed at a local hospital or an accredited surgical center under general anesthesia. Depending on the number of procedures performed as part of your lower body lift, the tour can last 3 to 4 hours or longer. You may be required to spend several nights in the hospital so that your progress can be monitored, as this is a very extensive procedure. Your post-operation nurse will also manage your level of pain and provide post-op incision care.
Your lower body lift is performed with precision and care by Dr. Rozbeh Torabi and Dr. Radbeh Torabi in Scottsdale, Chandler, or Phoenix, Arizona, under general anesthesia. The doctors will place your incisions strategically in areas where postoperative scarring will be greatly minimized, often within the natural folds or creases of the midsection or the back. During surgery, the doctors will remove excess, sagging skin and, if needed, use liposuction to address stubborn pockets of fat. The remaining skin is then pulled firm to improve definition and sculpting in the lower body. You can expect your procedure to last from 4 to 7 hours, depending on the complexity of your treatment plan.
Your Guide to Post-Lower Body Lift Care
Once you are recovering at home, we ask that you rest for at least two weeks post-op and continue to take any medications you were prescribed. Swelling and bruising are normal responses to this surgery, and it may take 6 months or more to recover fully. Delayed healing, bleeding, scarring, infection, and blood clotting in the legs are all risks that can be avoided with precaution and care.
You will need to make gentle movements starting on the day after your surgery to keep your blood circulating. Wear compression garments as recommended by your plastic surgeon, especially the abdominal compression garment, for the first 12 weeks. You can resume strenuous activities in week eight, or as recommended by your plastic surgeon.
