Renew Your Physique and Confidence

Significant weight loss, aging, or pregnancy can lead to sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits around the lower body, making you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. A lower body lift is a comprehensive solution that addresses these concerns, helping you achieve a more toned and defined appearance. At Fulcrum Aesthetics in Chicago, we understand the emotions involved in choosing to undergo body contouring. Our team, led by Dr. David Hill and nurse practitioner Brittony Croasdell, is dedicated to providing personalized care and exceptional results that enhance natural beauty and restore confidence.

What Is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift, a belt lipectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have loose, sagging skin due to aging or pregnancy. By addressing multiple areas in a single procedure, a lower body lift in Chicago at Fulcrum Aesthetics offers comprehensive body contouring that improves the overall shape and tone of the lower body.

The procedure involves making a circumferential incision around the lower torso, allowing the surgeon to lift and tighten the underlying tissues, remove excess skin, and reshape the contours of the lower body. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance that enhances natural curves and proportions.

  4. Tissue Reshaping: Excess skin and fat are meticulously removed, and the underlying tissues are tightened to achieve a smoother, more contoured look.

Lower Body Lift Recovery & Results

Recovery from a lower body lift involves several weeks of careful attention to ensure optimal results. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal side effects of the surgery. Following our post-operative care instructions is vital, including wearing a compression garment, avoiding strenuous activities, and keeping your body elevated to reduce swelling.

Most patients can resume light activities within 2-3 weeks, but it may take several weeks before you can return to more strenuous activities. The full results of your lower body lift will become more apparent as the swelling subsides and the skin adjusts to its new contours. Regular follow-up appointments at Fulcrum Aesthetics will help monitor your recovery and ensure you achieve the best possible results.
