What is a Lower Body Lift?
At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we dedicate ourselves to creating customized solutions to fit our patients’ needs. So while we offer many surgical and nonsurgical solutions, we also resolve your body contouring concerns with a lower body lift in Oklahoma City.
Like a whole-body lift, a lower-body lift targets excess skin and fat tissue. However, the lower body lift targets areas below the waist, including the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and legs.
- Excess, droopy skin
- Skin laxity
What To Expect From a Lower Body Lift
01
Consultation
We begin your treatment with a personalized consultation. Your doctor will listen to your cosmetic concerns, and then discuss which options they believe are best to help attain your goals. Together, you’ll choose the best treatment that will effectively target the sagging skin and tissue on your body.
02
Anesthesia
When you and your doctor decide to move forward with a lower body lift in Oklahoma City, we will provide more details on the process, including the before surgery and after surgery instructions. We will also let you know what to expect for general anesthetic before helping you schedule your procedure.
03
Procedure
A lower body lift, or belt lipectomy, begins with an incision around the belt area surrounding the lower torso extending to the buttocks and thighs. Your surgeon trims the loose skin away and lifts the remaining skin. We may use liposuction to remove excess fat, which can then be added into the buttocks for an instant butt lift.
04
Recovery
Once you are out of surgery, your doctor will review your post-care instructions with you. Because of the more extensive nature of the incisions used in a one-stage body lift, the body and skin will need a longer time to adjust to their new positions. Most patients will need 3 to 6 weeks of restricted activity before returning to a lighter normal routine.

Lower Body Lift FAQs
It will be best to receive a lower body lift in Oklahoma City when you are either at or close to your ideal body weight. That is because any significant weight gain or loss after surgery will alter your results.
A few factors will determine the visibility of scarring you have after a one-stage body lift. Our surgeons plan incision points so undergarments can easily conceal them or in less visible areas, like the natural skin folds. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions, including how to help your incisions heal correctly, so the scars are smooth and eventually blend with your normal skin.
