Lower Body Lift

Lower Body Lift in Raleigh, NC
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center

A lower body lift is a body contouring procedure that eliminates hanging skin and fat to reshape and lift common parts of the body affected by age, weight loss, and pregnancy. Lower body lift surgery focuses on the mid and low body, including the abdomen, buttocks, lower back, flanks, and upper thighs. According to the desired amount of skin removal, a circumferential 360 incision may be made, which grants the greatest amount of skin excision and lift.

This is a major treatment and can recontour a patient’s lower body. Raleigh, NC plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle has additional training with skin removal surgeries. In many cases, this surgery at Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center allows patients to not only reach their weight loss goals, but finalize their complete transformation with a taut figure that looks healthy and beautiful.

Who Are Candidates For A Lower Body Lift in Raleigh, NC?

Ideal candidates for this surgery are generally those who have lost a large amount of weight and are now dealing with other challenges. These challenges may be loose, wrinkled skin on the buttocks and upper thighs, hanging skin on the abdomen, as well as saggy skin throughout the middle section. It is helpful to have realistic goals, which can be discussed with Dr. Lyle during your consultation appointment. First, scarring is a result of this surgery due to the large incisions. Second, this procedure does need a lengthy recovery compared to many other cosmetic surgeries, so it is important to plan for this if you work or have small children. Finally, it is important that you are at a stable weight when considering this surgery.

What Happens During A Lower Body Lift?

This procedure is done under general anesthesia and patients probably need an overnight stay in a medical facility. The surgery can be a while, lasting around 4 – 7 hours. The incision is commonly placed along where a belt would be worn, which is why it is sometimes known as a circumferential 360 lift or beltectomy. Once the incision has been carefully made by Dr. Lyle, surgical liposuction will treat areas of excess fat and the sagging skin deformities will be trimmed. Then the remaining skin will be stretched tight and attached with stitches. Compression garments will be placed over the lower body to help create a slimmer result, as well as to decrease swelling, bleeding, and bruising.

What To Expect With Raleigh, NC Lower Body Lift Recovery?

A lower body lift is considered a major cosmetic procedure. It typically takes patients at least two weeks to resume light activities, and in some cases, up to six months before they can get back to more active movements such as aerobic exercise. Dr. Lyle or a member of their staff will discuss clear instructions and information on wound care so that scarring is healed for seamless results. While the recovery can seem lengthy, the results are extraordinary, leaving patients with a smoother, tighter body without the hanging and loose skin that prevents them from experiencing a full life.

Real Reviews from Real Patients

I am a 2 time cancer survivor and Dr. LYLE has been my cancer surgeon since I was 29. I got cancer at 29 then again at 43 and I am 49 now. He stopped doing breast reconstruction after I got my second cancer and he still came and did my reconstruction. He didn't have to but he did. He has been my surgeon for 20 years now. Stephanie at the office is great too.

Dr. Lyle, Brittany and Haley are absolutely AMAZING. From the beginning of my consultation to the post op they have all been so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. This was a huge decision to have this procedure done and I couldn't be more grateful and thankful for the experience I had with the entire staff. Everyone is always smiles and delightful I couldn't ask for a better group of individuals. Thank you for everything and all you do. You are all the BEST.

I am 4 weeks post Botox and filler and I could not be happier with my results! Erin and Brittany listened to my concerns about my face and addressed each area. They walked me through the whole process from initial consultation through the 2 week follow-up appointment. I highly recommend both of them!
Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center's new office is absolutely beautiful, so light and bright. The staff is so welcoming and helpful. The results couldn't have been better!
