Lower
Body Lift
It takes a skilled
and experienced cosmetic surgeon to offer the state-of-the-art
sculpting and rejuvenation of the lower body. This includes aesthetic
units of the abdomen, medial thighs, lateral thighs, buttocks
and hips.
Aesthetic units are
studied and analyzed individually and together for aesthetic appearance
and major defects. This will enable the surgeon to develop a plan
to appropriately repair each aesthetic unit and create an aesthetically
pleasing and harmonious body.
The Abdomen
Analysis of the abdomen
includes fatty deposits, their position and estimated amount.
The amount of laxity in the rectus muscles and the hair distribution
in the pubic region should also be taken into account. If a tightening
procedure is needed for the skin and muscles, the extent and position
of the incision should be well-planned. The surgeon must also
determine whether liposuction is needed.
Localized fatty deposits
can be liposuctioned, a procedure that is most accurately done
using ultrasonic liposuction. This will also decrease the thickness
of fat in the abdominal skin. Laxity of the muscles are repaired
by tightening these muscles with appropriate sutures and are placed
to achieve the desired result of fine, smooth curves as well as
a balanced waist and hip. Some patients may require the use of
the oblique muscles of the abdomen to achieve such a balanced
waist-hip ratio. Excess skin is removed according to planned incisions.
Hips, buttocks, medial thighs, lateral thighs and knees may be
liposuctioned if needed. This also is aimed at achieving aesthetic,
well-balanced curves of the body.
Thighs and Buttocks
The thighs and buttocks
are evaluated, and the amount of skin laxity is determined.  Medial
thighs can be tightened and lifted through an incision high up
in the thigh crease, well-hidden from direct view. This can be
combined with repair of skin laxity in the lateral thighs and
hips by extending the incision from the medial thigh crease around
the lateral upper thigh hip area to the mid-back. This approach
will lift the lower body, including the abdomen, medial thigh,
lateral thigh and buttocks, in one surgical approach, and the
scars will be well-hidden. The aesthetic results are superb when
done by appropriately trained and certified plastic surgeons.
