What Does a Lower Body Lift Include?
Loose skin around the stomach, hips, thighs, and buttocks can make it difficult to feel comfortable in your clothes, even after major weight loss or lifestyle changes.

What Is a Lower Body Lift?
A lower body lift involves removing excess skin and firming the underlying tissues of the lower torso. It’s often performed after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging-related laxity. Unlike procedures that focus on a single location, this procedure addresses multiple regions simultaneously for more balanced results. It is also customized based on each person’s needs and goals.
What Areas Are Included in a Lower Body Lift?
A lower body lift typically targets the following areas:
During surgery, Dr. Greenwald removes excess skin and fat while repositioning and tightening the remaining tissue. This helps create smoother body contours and improved proportions.
Some people may also combine this surgery with additional procedures, such as liposuction or arm lifts.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Lower Body Lift?
Many patients who seek a lower body lift have experienced major weight loss and are frustrated by loose, hanging skin that has not responded to exercise. Others may notice sagging due to aging or genetics.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are close to your stable goal weight
- Have excess skin around the lower body
- Are in good overall health
- Do not smoke or are willing to stop before surgery
- Have realistic expectations about recovery and results
During a consultation, Dr. Greenwald carefully reviews each patient’s concerns, medical history, and preferences to determine the right approach.
