LOWER BODY LIFT BEFORE & AFTERS
ABOUT LOWER BODY LIFT
A lower body lift is a transformative surgical procedure designed to contour and reshape the lower half of your body. This comprehensive surgery addresses and corrects sagging skin and excess fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, lower back, buttocks, and thighs.
It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, leading to loose, hanging skin that cannot be improved through diet and exercise alone. At Aesthetics MD, Dr. Mark Anton performs lower body lifts with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking, balanced results.
Carefully placed incisions remove excess skin and fat, then lift and tighten the remaining skin and underlying tissues for a more youthful contour. This can dramatically enhance your body’s appearance, boost your confidence, and improve your overall quality of life. Whether you’re looking to achieve a more sculpted silhouette or restore your body’s natural harmony after weight loss, a lower body lift offers a solution that is both effective and enduring.
This is often combined with other body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck, to address multiple areas of concern. This comprehensive approach allows for a more harmonious and balanced aesthetic outcome.
LOWER BODY LIFT TECHNIQUE
A lower body lift can include one procedure or a combination of inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, buttocks lift, and removal of flanks. For some patients, excess fat must first be removed with Curved Liposuction to de-bulk the lower body and sculpt more desirable contours.
Curved Liposuction helps smooth out skin and contours of the hips and upper thighs. Our Newport Beach Lower Body Lift patients with mild to moderate degrees of excess fat may include Curved Liposuction as part of their lower body procedure. Incisions for the outer or lateral thigh lift begin at the base of the hip bone and extend horizontally across the upper buttock crease around to the other side and end at the opposite hip bone. Some patients desire a fat transfer to their buttocks to create more flattering curves in this area.
The lateral and buttock lift is often combined with a tummy tuck to also address excess and sagging skin in the abdomen and waist. A medial thigh lift corrects excess skin in the inner thigh area and can be done as a single procedure or in combination with a lateral thigh. In the case of patients with excess fat, Curved Liposuction may be required beforehand to debulk and contour the inner thigh area. For Newport Beach lower body lift patients with mild to moderate excess fat, Curved Liposuction can be done at the same time as a medial thigh lift.

IDEAL CANDIDATES
lower body lift may be performed on patients of nearly any age or gender.

The type of body contouring procedure is particularly beneficial for those who have maintained a stable weight for at least six months and are in good overall health. Ideal candidates should have realistic expectations about the outcomes and be committed to a healthy lifestyle. It is essential to have a stable weight and be in good overall health.

what real people have to say
about their lower body lift results with dr. anton
I don’t usually write reviews, but if I could give a 10 star review to Dr Anton and his wonderful staff, I would, they fully deserve it. I thought about this intervention for years, but I was too afraid to do it; Dr Anton is knowledgeable, professional and detail-oriented, a true magician of the human body and his whole team is extraordinary!
CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
Depending on the severity of the skin laxity, the quality of the skin, and the amount of excess skin and fat, some patients may require multiple surgeries like an added tummy tuck or breast lift to achieve their desired results.
During the initial consultation, Dr. Mark Anton will thoroughly review your medical history, discuss your goals, and evaluate your skin elasticity to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. This personalized approach helps achieve the best possible results tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
Once you have decided to have surgery and have chosen a date, we schedule your pre-operative appointment in our office with one of our Surgical Patient Coordinators, approximately one month before your lower body lift. During this time, you will be given instructions to follow in the days and weeks leading up to surgery, including a list of all medications to avoid before surgery.
It is important to inform your Surgical Patient Coordinator of all medications you are currently taking along with your current medical history. You will also be instructed on the lab tests required to ensure your safety as a surgery patient including blood work and in the case of patients 50 years or older, an EKG. A mammogram will also be required if you are planning on combining your lower body lift with a breast surgery like the Layered Breast Lift.
LOWER BODY LIFT RECOVERY
Most patients wake from surgery feeling groggy, tired and just wanting to sleep. Patients undergoing a Lower Body Lift are required to spend the first night at an aftercare facility with a registered nurse or certified caregiver.
One of our Aesthetics MD staff members assists you in making aftercare arrangements to allow for a convenient and pleasant surgical experience. Mild to moderate pain and discomfort are to be expected during the recovery time, however, it is usually relieved by prescribed pain medication. Overall, most patients feel their surgery was less painful than anticipated and can discontinue their pain medication after 4-5 days.
Initially, the lower body area can feel extremely tight, and it may seem difficult to stand up straight. This will gradually subside during the healing process. You will wake from surgery wearing a compression binder. This binder is worn at all times for two weeks. You will then be instructed to change to a lighter support garment for approximately 4 more weeks.
Activities are restricted for a full two-week period following surgery including; no lifting, bending, straining of any kind. Exercise and movements involving bending and twisting at the waist will be restricted for a longer period of time.
For the first two weeks, all patients are instructed to abstain from any activity that raises heart rate or blood pressure:
- Exercise
- Sex
- Bending
- Heavy Lifting
- Straining
- Stress & Anxiety
- Drinking Alcohol
- Smoking
Most of the bruising and swelling will subside within 3-4 weeks, however, residual swelling in the deeper tissues can take up to 6-12 months. You will be advised during your post-operative appointments about these restrictions. This healing process varies from patient to patient.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
After undergoing a lower body lift at Aesthetics MD in Newport Beach, you can expect to see initial improvements in your body’s contours almost immediately, although some swelling and bruising may temporarily obscure your results. As your body heals and swelling gradually subsides over the following weeks and months, you will notice significant enhancements in the appearance of your lower body.
FINAL RESULTS
Once the initial swelling and bruising have diminished, you will experience a noticeable enhancement in your lower body contours. Your treated areas will appear smoother, firmer, and more defined, allowing clothes to fit better and enhancing your overall silhouette. While the excess skin and fat removed during the procedure are permanently eliminated, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and regular exercise to optimize and sustain your results.

frequently asked questions
Will there Be visible scarring?
Will there Be visible scarring?
The incision begins at the hip bone as in a lateral thigh lift and extends down to the groin area then wraps around and tucks up behind the buttocks crease where it is hidden. In the case of extreme weight loss patients or those patients with excess skin that hangs and collects in the knee area, an additional incision that runs along the inner thigh is also required.
Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable, allowing you to enjoy the aesthetic improvements of your lower body lift with confidence.
Is a lower body lift permanent?
What happens if I gain weight?
What happens if I gain weight?
After a lower body lift, the treated areas, such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and hips, may be more resistant to weight gain compared to untreated areas. This is because the surgery removes excess skin and fat cells from these specific regions.
While the fat cells removed during the surgery do not regenerate, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent significant weight gain. Weight gain may still occur in untreated areas of the body and can affect your overall body shape.
Do I need to be at a certain BMI?
While there is no strict BMI requirement for a lower body lift, candidates generally benefit most when they are close to their ideal body weight. Being at or near your target weight ensures that the results of the surgery are more predictable and long-lasting. Significant weight fluctuations after surgery can affect aesthetic outcomes.
By being within a healthy weight range and having a stable, maintainable lifestyle, you can maximize the benefits of your lower body lift and enjoy enduring results.
