Customize Your Transformation
For many people experiencing sagging skin due to weight loss or aging, self-confidence can be hugely affected. For those who are proud of their weight loss journey, this secondary problem may be especially disheartening. With Dr. Ran Stark at StarkMD in Philadelphia Lower Body Lift may be just what you need to see the after pictures you've been hoping for and the confidence you're seeking.
A Lower Body Lift, also known as belt lipectomy, is a comprehensive cosmetic surgery commonly used after extreme weight loss. This umbrella term often includes multiple procedures designed to reshape and tighten the lower body, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. Excess skin and fat are removed, liposuction may also be utilized to sculpt away excess fat deposits, and refined surgical techniques are used to minimize scarring and offer highly natural-looking results.
A tummy tuck focuses specifically on the abdominal area, removing excess skin and fat and tightening abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer stomach. In contrast, a Lower Body Lift is an all-encompassing group of procedures that address the entire lower body together. This may include the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, hips, and thighs, making it ideal for patients with extensive sagging skin due to significant weight loss or aging.
Whether sagging, loose skin is due to aging, weight loss, or other factors, a Lower Body Lift is a completely customizable way to transform your look and regain lost confidence. Shop for swimwear, shorts, or lingerie again with a renewed sense of positivity and finally enjoy your weight loss results to the fullest.

Since this is typically an extensive surgery, recovery from this procedure typically takes about two to four weeks at which point most patients can return to regular activities and up to eight weeks for exercise and other vigorous activities. Final results may take up to one to two years as residual swelling resolves and tissues continue to heal.
