What is a lower Body Lift?

Losing weight is a great way to improve your appearance and health. Unfortunately, you may be left with loose skin around the midsection. A body lift is a surgical procedure in which excess skin is trimmed away and lifted to reshape the body. Las Vegas, NV board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Khorsandi often recommends lower body lifts to patients who lose a significant amount of weight and are left with hanging skin on the abdomen, lower back, buttocks, hips, and thighs. The procedure may be performed with liposuction to remove small fat pockets as well. Dr. Khorsandi will consult with each patient to discuss the best approach to take. Depending on how much loose skin is going to be removed, a circumferential (360-degree) incision may be used. This treatment is reserved for those who are near their weight goals and want to complete their transformation.

Surgical Technique

A lower body lift is also called a belt lipectomy because the incision is made around the belt area around the lower torso. The incision may be extended to the buttocks and thighs. During surgery, sagging skin is trimmed away while the remaining tissue is lifted and secured by sutures. Liposuction may be used if there’s excess fat. There are also cases when the fat harvested from liposuction is reinstated into the buttocks for an instant butt lift. These cosmetic procedures may be combined in one session or they may be staged, depending on your personal circumstances.

35 Male - Body Lift and Gynecomastia Surgery - Las Vegas, NV - I decided to visit Dr. Khorsandi after doing some research online. After the initial consultation, I felt comfortable and confident enough with Dr Khorsandi to proceed with scheduling surgery. My surgery was to be in two, or possibly three stages. I am a 35 year old male who lost a lot of weight (naturally) about 12 years ago and have remained extremely health conscious and active ever since. Dr. Khorsandi recommended a belt lipectomy procedure in response to my areas of concern. If you know anything about this procedure, you are aware that it is very a extensive and time consuming surgery. This procedure lasted roughly 7 hours and required a few months of healing before I could resume my normal gym activity. It is now 14 months later and I'm extremely happy with everything. Scars are minimal and I couldn't imagine better results. The care and attention of Dr. Khorsandi and his staff is amazing. I had no problem getting a hold of him whether he was at his office, home or traveling (which I needed to a few times during the first few months of healing). My second area of concern was my chest (which had not retracted fully from weight loss). Dr. Khorsandi performed two procedures, the final one being two weeks ago. Again, I couldn't imagine better results. He has reshaped it and reduced areas which have lost elasticity leaving me with a chest that I never thought I'd have. Note that I'm very particular and had higher than normal expectations to begin with. I was very nervous in the beginning stages only to be relieved and happy at the end. If he can do this well on such extensive and detailed procedures as he did with mine, I can easily see why he has such excellent reviews in all other areas. Chris 2/12/15

Dr. Khorsandi is god sent - My experience with Dr. Khorsansi has been incredible from the start. He is very caring, smart and extremely passionate about his practice. I’ve never meet another doctor like him, and I’ve gone thru my fair share of doctors for my previous procedures that led me Dr. K. I am for ever grateful to Dr. Khorsandi for taking on my VERY hard case.
What made my case tough was that I’ve had so much trauma in my butt area. Prior to seeing Dr. Khorsandi I had illegal/black market silicone injections on my buttocks, a few years later my silicone injections started to take a toll on me. At that time, I suffered from hair loss, numbness, fatigue, and skin discoloration just to name a few of the consequences I had to phase. Shortly, I had the silicone injections removed by surgeon#2, my butt was then deformed and he proceeded to fix it by performing a BBL, but that was a complete fail. All of my fat turned to liquid and died. It had to be surgically removed because it could not be aspirated with a needle and syringe. 
I felt hideous with my deformities, and searched for other solutions. I decided to get butt implants (by another surgeon) this surgeon#3 was supposed to give me what was best but long story short, he didn’t. He gave me implants that were way too big, wide, and heavy for my petite frame. One of the implants didn’t fully drop and the other one had dropped a little too much. I had so much lose skin from all the trauma and at certain angles I could see my butt implants.  
My butt was one hot mess and I really thought there was no solution for it, until I met Dr. Khorsandi. I was expecting him to turn me away, because I knew how hard it would be to fix me. Dr K. saw how much I needed his help and he gladly took on my case. I told him I was not looking for perfection, but to look and feel normal. He went above and beyond what I asked for!My surgery with Dr. K consisted of Vaser lipo/bbl, body tite on abdomen, Butt implant removal, and a lower body lift to help with all the lose skin and now I can’t believe how incredible I look. I got my petite body back and a normal cute butt again. He left me feeling like a Barbie doll! 
I love my body and I’m now super confident about it! 
Thank you Dr. Kohrsandi, for taking on my case and giving me my life back. Like is said earlier, I am forever grateful for you. You’re the best surgeon on the planet! No other surgeon’s hands will ever touch this body, but yours. You’re my surgeon for life! Lol..  Also I want to thank his amazing staff. They are all so nice and sweet. Every single one of them is so special in their one way. You can tell they love their job because they’re so kind and really care for the patient as well. 
I especially want to thank Patricia, his office manager, she is one of a kind and deserves an award for best office manager ever.  She was  there for me from day one. Patricia is always glad to answer all of my questions and silly as they may have sounded lol. She is the heart and soul of VIP plastic surgery! I love her!

During/After the Procedure

A lower body lift is performed with general anesthesia and requires an overnight stay in a hospital or accredited surgical facility. Due to its nature, spinal anesthesia may also be administered. The surgery lasts from 5 – 8 hours, depending on the treatment areas involved. It is important for patients to keep in mind that a lower body lift will require slower recovery. Aside from the extensive incisions, your body and skin need time to adjust to their new positions. Most patients will need 2 – 3 weeks before returning to a light routine. It can take up to a full year for the final results of this surgery to appear.

Expected Cost

Lower body lift surgery can cost an average of $10,000 – $17,000. The cost depends on the patient’s aesthetic goals and the number of procedures performed in one session. Costs may fluctuate if the surgical sessions are staged into separate procedures. During the initial consultation, we will discuss the recommended treatment plan and associated costs. Virtual consultations are $100 and in-person consults $300 the consult fee goes towards the procedure they are non-refundable.

What will my lower body lift scars look like?
What will my lower body lift scars look like? A lower body lift creates wonderful body contouring results for patients. Unfortunately, scarring is unavoidable with this kind of surgery. For most patients, the scar can be seen around the torso and may extend to the hips, buttocks, and thighs. A skilled and trained plastic surgeon, like Dr. Khorsandi, will make every effort to create thin incision lines. We can also give you information about scar care at home. Once the scars are healed, they can be concealed by undergarments.
Is a lower body lift painful?
This surgery is performed with general anesthesia. It is common to feel some pain and discomfort during the recovery process. Pain medications will be prescribed so patients can feel as comfortable as possible. A compression garment is also worn to reduce discomfort. Patients should limit movement during the first week of recovery to avoid the risk of stretching the incision line. This is the most common complication after surgery.
Does insurance cover the costs of a body lift procedure?
If it is proven that this surgery is medically necessary to attain a better quality of life, some health insurance providers may cover a portion of the cost. There is no guarantee that coverage will be applicable, however. Our billing and insurance coordinators will work with your insurance company to determine benefits and costs.
When should I undergo body lift surgery?
Anyone considering a lower body lift should be at or near his or her goal weight before surgery. If the loose skin is caused by pregnancy, it is best to postpone this surgery until you are finished having children. This is because any additional weight gain in the future may compromise your cosmetic results.
