Main Information

The lower body lift is part of a general area in cosmetic surgery called body contouring, and is an operation which removes large amounts of skin and fat from the stomach, hips, thighs, and back. This is an operation designed mainly for men or women who have lost large amounts of weight and are left with saggy and unattractive skin around the stomach, buttock, thighs, and hips.
The first body lifting operations began in Brazil and France in the 1960s and 1970s.

Although a “tummy tuck” has become a popular procedure performed by many surgeons today, problems with inconsistent results, unnatural body shapes, poor scarring and other complications caused surgeons to be very cautious when recommending patients for some form of a body lift.
From the late 1980s, a better understanding of skin and fat structure, and how the body changes as we age, have enabled surgeons to redesign their operations so that they are more successful all round.
In recent years these procedures have started to gain in popularity, particularly with the need for post-weight loss surgeries. According to statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 7,797 lower body lifts were performed in 2019 in the US, this represents an increase of 27.9% on 2018 statistics and a rise of 36.3% when compared to 2015.
No official figures are yet available for the UK, but there are a few surgeons who are starting to offer this procedure.
If you're considering a lower body lift, the following information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure. It can't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask a surgeon about anything you don't understand.
