Case #96

Many patients seek a body lift to address concerns related to excess skin and tissue. In this case, our young patient noticed droopiness of the buttocks and hips after weight changes. She described feeling self-conscious about the extra skin and expressed a clear goal of achieving a more lifted, perky appearance in these areas.

We recommended a lower body lift, a procedure designed for patients with similar concerns. During surgery, we removed the excess skin and lifted the underlying tissues, repositioning the buttocks and hips to a higher, more youthful location. In some cases, we also consider lipedema surgery for patients with persistent fatty deposits that do not respond to traditional weight loss efforts.

Our patient’s outcome demonstrates the benefits of a body lift. The photos show improvement in contour and skin tightness, especially in the lower back, buttocks, and hip region. She noted increased comfort and confidence in her clothing following surgery.
