    What Is a Lower Body Lift?

    A lower body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a surgical procedure that gives the lower part of your body a more toned and sculpted look. A top-rated cosmetic surgeon accomplishes this by removing the excess fat and skin from your:

    • Abdomen
    • Flanks
    • Back
    • Thighs

    Body lift surgery is a body contouring procedure that tightens your underlying muscles and slims your overall look, so you look good in tight pants again. The procedure may also improve the appearance of any cellulite and stretch marks that have been troubling you, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful look and feel.

    At Millennial Plastic Surgery in Midtown Manhattan, you can get a circumferential lower body lift for an affordable price. The founding cosmetic surgeon, Dr. David Shokrian, is experienced and dedicated to providing the best possible outcome while maintaining the highest safety standards.

    How Does a Lower Body Lift Work?

    In a lower body lift procedure, your cosmetic surgeon removes the excess fatty tissues from your abdomen, hips, and outer or inner thighs. The procedure also tightens your underlying muscles and tissues to smooth your contours. A body lift in NYC, as performed by Dr. Shokrian, includes a mix of several procedures, including:

    The are other lower body lift procedures you may get to achieve desired results, such as mommy makeover, Brazilian butt lift surgery, and lymphatic drainage massage.

    Depending on your needs and goals, you may get a different set of steps for your procedure. At Millennial Plastic Surgery, the surgery always begins with giving you general anesthesia. This ensures you’re comfortable and without pain throughout the plastic surgery. Once you’re unconscious, the rest of the surgery may include:

    1. Dr. Shokrian draws lines on your torso to determine the best place to make incisions and where to hide the scars after removing your excess skin. An experienced surgeon like Dr. Shokrian visualizes where and how to best leave a natural-looking profile.
    2. With a lower body lift, you likely need liposuction, and your surgeon finds the most strategic places to make the incisions for this procedure. The doctor makes a series of small incisions around your torso and lower body, including around your belly button.
    3. Through the incisions, Dr. Shokrian inserts the liposuction cannula to remove fat from your:
    4. An incision around your navel is made during the tummy tuck portion of the procedure. Your surgeon may need to reconstruct your abdominal wall if you’ve suffered muscle separation from a past weight increase or pregnancy, which results in a firmer, tighter abdomen.
    5. Your surgeon then removes the marked areas of excess skin, tightening the muscles, lifting and repositioning the underlying tissue to give you a more sculpted appearance. Your belly button is sewn back into place, if necessary.
    6. Your doctor pulls the skin over your stomach and then removes the excess, giving your new contour a leaner and more youthful appearance.
    7. To fix any buttock drooping, your surgeon may tighten the skin along your lower back.
    8. Afterward, the surgeon closes the incisions with stitches, clips or skin adhesives. But don’t worry: any scarring isn’t noticeable once you heal.

    This surgical technique allows your doctor to remove excess skin without damaging your underlying muscles, providing a more natural look and quicker healing. Additionally, the incisions are made in areas that minimize the appearance of scarring, so they’re virtually invisible. The surgery takes between three to six hours, but it’s a relatively short time, compared to the long years of happiness and fulfillment you’ll enjoy once you’ve healed.

    What Should I Do after a Lower Body Lift?

    After your surgery, Dr. Shokrian provides instructions for best preserving your results. Your recovery time depends on your overall health and the extent of your surgery. But by following your surgeon’s post-op instructions, you can reduce swelling and heal more quickly.

    Since a body lift is major surgery, you can expect an extensive recovery time. But it doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Side effects may include numbness, bruising and swelling, but at Millennial Plastic Surgery, all risks are reduced dur to the quality of care you receive. Useful tips for your recovery include:

    • Expect to spend up to three nights in the hospital.
    • Rest in bed for the next week, keeping all physical activity to a minimum.
    • For any short-term discomfort, take pain medication as prescribed.
    • Sleep on your back with your legs and upper body elevated on pillows for the first two-to-three weeks.
    • Wear compression garments for a few weeks to let the underlying tissues settle into place and minimize the swelling.
    • For better results, spend more time sitting in a comfortable chair and avoid lying in bed.
    • Return to work in about three weeks.
    • Exercise only after five weeks to give your body time to heal.
    • As the swelling goes down, the final results gradually reveal themselves.
    Highly recommend for their exceptional service and expertise.

    How Much Does a Lower Body Lift Surgery Cost?

    Lower body lift surgery costs vary. Generally speaking, the cost of the surgery is determined by the:

    • Complexity of the procedure
    • Duration of the surgery
    • Surgeon’s experience and expertise
    • Geographic location of the best plastic surgery practice
    • Anesthesiologist’s fee
    • Operating room fee
    • Post-operative care

    If the reason for your surgery is purely cosmetic, your health insurance won’t cover your body lift surgery cost. Since cosmetic surgeries may be expensive, many people opt to finance them. Ask Dr. Shokrian or his team if a payment plan or third-party financing is available.
