What Is Lower Body Lift Surgery?
A lower body lift is a body contouring surgery that removes hanging sagging skin and stubborn fat to reshape and lift parts of the body that are most commonly affected by pregnancy and weight loss. Lower body lift surgery concentrates on the mid- and lower body, including the buttocks, stomach, flanks, low back, and upper thighs. At Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery, we can custom-tailor your lower body lift based on the amount of excess skin, fat, and sagging you want to address. Using his experience and training, Dr. Chirag Mehta can deliver results that look both subtle and dramatic. If your body has seen changes due to pregnancy, weight loss, or age, a lower body lift can help you feel tighter, younger, and more confident. Learn more about this treatment and start building your custom lower body lift plan by contacting our Sherman, TX plastic surgery office.
How Do You Perform Lower Body Lift Surgery?
Lower body lift surgery is performed using general anesthesia, and most patients require at least one night's stay in the hospital to monitor their recovery. Depending on the amount of work being done, the surgery itself can take anywhere from 4 – 7 hours. The incision is usually placed along where a belt is worn, which is why it is also known as a circumferential 360 (or, in some cases, a beltectomy). After making the incision, Dr. Mehta will perform liposuction to remove any fatty pockets before trimming away the excess skin. After that, he will pull the remaining skin taut and secure it with sutures. Compression garments may be worn over the incisions to help create a slimmer appearance, as well as to minimize swelling, bruising, and bleeding.

Lower Body Lift Reviews
Dr. Mehta and his team are top notch! I had a circumferential lower body lift a little over a month ago and the recovery and results are exactly as Dr. Mehta explained. I'm not going to say it's been a breeze, as with any major surgery, but Dr. Mehta and Jessica have been there every step of the way and have gone above and beyond to make me feel at ease which I truly appreciate. From the initial consultation until now, I could not have asked for better care. Dr. Mehta is up front that his services might be pricier than others and I will say his skill and bed side manner are well worth the money spent; he is amazing! I will have two more procedures 5 months from now and I am confident that Dr. Mehta will achieve the best results possible on those as well. Special thanks to Liz at the office. She helped with scheduling, cost, questions and everything in between. You are in great hands all around if you choose Dr. Mehta!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have visible scarring?
There are several factors that can determine how many scars you have and their visibility after a lower body lift. Dr. Chirag Mehta designs incision points so they can be easily concealed by undergarments or in less visible areas like the natural skin folds. Dr. Mehta will discuss post-surgery instructions to help your sutures heal properly so the scars are smooth and eventually blend with your skin.
When should I consider getting a lower body lift?
If you're thinking about getting a lower body lift, schedule a consultation with Dr. Chirag Mehta to learn more about the procedure and when it may be right for you to schedule surgery. You should be at or close to a sustainable weight, because losing or gaining a large amount of weight after a lift can impact your appearance. Before surgery, Dr. Mehta will also perform a physical assessment to ensure you are strong enough to undergo the procedure.
Will I have to stay overnight in the hospital?
Most often, Dr. Chirag Mehta requires patients to stay at least one night in a hospital or medical facility after a lower body lift. This stay ensures your comfort and safety, as your health is monitored and your pain controlled. Based on how many areas are being addressed and your overall health after surgery, Dr. Mehta may recommend you spend two or more nights. During your initial consultation, Dr. Mehta will discuss where you should stay as well as how long he thinks you may need to stay.
