    Lower Body Lift IN LOS ANGELES, CA

    Hit Reset on Your Lower Body

    After massive weight loss or pregnancy, your body deserves a little help catching up with your hard work. At Marina Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, CA, we offer expert Lower Body Lift procedures to help you reveal the smoother, more sculpted figure you've earned. Led by renowned plastic surgeons in a luxurious, supportive setting, we're here to lift more than just skin; we're lifting spirits, too.

    What is a Lower Body Lift?

    A belt lipectomy, better known as a lower body lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the lower torso and upper legs. Think of it as a "360-degree makeover" that targets the abdomen, flanks, lower back, buttocks, and outer thighs. This procedure is slightly different from a full body lift by targeting only the thighs, backside, and lower abdomen.

    The procedure tightens and lifts areas that diet and exercise alone can't always fix, especially after significant weight loss. Unlike a tummy tuck that focuses solely on the front of the abdomen, a lower body lift treats the entire lower body for a dramatically smoother silhouette.

    Lower Body Lift Benefits

    This procedure isn't just about aesthetics (though the results are pretty amazing). Lower body lifts are about comfort, confidence, and moving freely in your own skin again.

    Why patients love their lower body lift:

    • Removes sagging, excess skin from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks
    • Sculpts and defines the waistline
    • Lifts and reshapes the buttocks and outer thighs
    • Improves skin irritation caused by excess folds
    • Enhances mobility and comfort
    • Improves how clothing fits
    • Complements weight loss efforts by refining the final look

    Best of all, the results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

    Lower Body Lift
    Candidates

    If you've been looking in the mirror and thinking, "I love what I've accomplished with my weight loss, but my skin didn't get the memo," a lower body lift may be the solution to your problems.

    You might be a great candidate if:

    • You've lost a significant amount of weight and have loose or hanging skin
    • You're at or near your goal weight and stable
    • You don't smoke (or you're willing to quit before and after surgery)
    • You're in generally good health with no serious medical conditions
    • You have realistic expectations

    You may not be eligible for a safe lower body lift if you experience uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes or heart disease, or if you're planning future pregnancies (as these could reverse results).

    Consultation and Preparation

    Every great transformation starts with a good plan. Your consultation at Marina Plastic Surgery is a judgment-free, information-packed appointment to make sure this procedure is right for you.

    We'll discuss:

    • Your health history and goals
    • Areas of concern and desired outcomes
    • Any medications or supplements you're taking
    • Pre-op instructions to prepare your body and skin

    This is your time to ask anything, share everything, and feel confident in your surgical team.

    Your Lower Body Lift Procedure

    Your lower body lift will be performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the extent of the procedure, the surgery typically takes four to six hours.

    Here's what you can expect during your surgery:

    • A horizontal incision is made around the lower torso (like a belt—hence, "belt lipectomy")
    • Excess skin and fat are removed
    • Muscles are tightened if needed
    • Skin is redraped for a smooth, lifted contour
    • Incisions are carefully closed to minimize scarring

    You'll wake up in recovery feeling groggy but on your way to a brand-new silhouette.

    Lower Body Lift Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

    Expect to take about two to four weeks off from work or regular activities. You'll be up and walking shortly after surgery (movement is key!). But heavy lifting and vigorous exercise should wait for about six weeks.

    It's recommended that you wear a compression garment to help with swelling and support healing. You may also have drainage tubes placed temporarily, and bruising and swelling may be present for a week or so. Your scars will also fade over time.

    Full results can take a few months to appear as swelling goes down, but when they do, they're worth it! To keep your results looking sharp, maintain a stable weight, stay active, and follow your aftercare plan closely.

    Lower Body Lift FAQs

    Is a Lower Body Lift painful?

    You'll be under anesthesia during the procedure. Post-op discomfort is expected but manageable with medication and rest.

    Will I lose weight after a Lower Body Lift?

    The lower body lift removes skin and fat, which may slightly lower the scale, but this procedure is more about shape than weight. If you are looking to lose weight alongside your lift procedure, consider pairing it with our liposuction procedure.

    What are the risks associated with a Lower Body Lift?

    All surgeries have risks like infection, bleeding, or poor wound healing. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks.

    What is the downtime after a Lower Body Lift?

    Plan for at least two to four weeks off to recover. Full activity typically resumes around six to eight weeks.

    How much does a Lower Body Lift cost?

    The cost of a lower body lift varies depending on the extent of surgery, anesthesia, and facility fees. During your consultation, you will receive a detailed price breakdown.
