What To Expect From a Lower Body Lift
01
Consultation
You’ll begin your journey at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates with a personal consultation with one of our surgeons. We will talk with you about your concerns and goals for treatment and ask questions to ensure we understand your vision. Based on this conversation, we’ll explain your care options so you can make an informed decision about the right treatment for you.
02
Anesthesia
After you and your doctor decide on a lower body lift in Jacksonville, we will discuss every step of the treatment process. This includes reviewing pre-care and post-care instructions, the surgery itself, and anesthesia. We provide general anesthesia for lower body lifts, and we’ll explain what to expect so that you feel comfortable and prepared.
03
Procedure
To begin your lower body lift, we make an incision around the belt area surrounding your lower torso and trim excess skin. At this point, we’ll perform liposuction to remove extra fat if included in your surgical plan. We can add this extra fat to other areas of your body, such as the buttocks, for a fuller look. We will then lift and tighten the remaining skin, securing it with sutures.
04
Recovery
After finishing surgery, your doctor will review your post-care instructions with you once more. Depending on the extent of your procedure, we may recommend you stay overnight at a medical facility. The extensive nature of the incisions will also require a longer recovery time—many patients need 3 to 6 weeks of restricted activity before gradually readjusting to their normal routine.

Lower Body Lift FAQs
We typically require patients to spend a minimum of one night in a hospital or medical facility after a lower body lift. We want to ensure your comfort and safety by having your health monitored and your pain controlled in a medically supervised setting.
Depending on the number of areas treated during surgery and how quickly you recover, we may recommend that you stay for multiple nights. During your consultation, we will discuss nearby facilities where you can stay as well as how long you should plan to stay.
Scars are an unavoidable part of any major surgical procedure, but we will take multiple measures to minimize their visibility during your lower body lift in Jacksonville. Your surgeon will place incisions where they can be easily hidden by undergarments or in discreet places like natural skin folds. We will provide you with after-care instructions to help your incisions heal correctly. This will help keep the scars flat, and over time, they’ll start to blend into your skin.
