What is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance and contour of the lower body. The procedure is popular among individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, leading to loose, sagging skin, and those looking to rejuvenate their lower body appearance. It involves removing excess skin and fat, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning the remaining skin to create a more toned and smoother lower body profile.

You’ll be so happy with the results and service you get!

Gold Coast PS has been amazing from my first consultation with Dr. Moynihan. He’s so professional yet personable at the same time. He treats you like family and he wouldn’t do anything to put you in harms way or do anything you’re not comfortable with. His staff also deserves the highest praises. They are the sweetest people with the best bed side manner. They STILL check up on me and tell me about specials going on at GCPS. Huge shout out to Nicole and Susan for all the help and answering all of my questions. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with Gold Coast! You’ll be so happy with the results and service you get!

I would definitely recommend anyone interested to check out Gold Coast Plastic Surgery!

I had a great experience with Dr. Moynihan and his team! From communicating with team members about setting up a consultation, to talking through what the procedure would entail and getting mock up photos created, I was very excited to move forward with my surgery. All of the instructions throughout the process were explained very clearly so I never felt like I was missing information. Surgery itself went great, the facility is very well organized and you have a whole team (nurses, the doctor and anesthesiologist) meeting with you beforehand to talk through as much information as you would like. Recovery went just as I had expected and was explained to me, and I love my results. I would definitely recommend anyone interested to check out Gold Coast Plastic Surgery!

Best part about my experience is the results are natural and helps achieve the best version of myself.

Dr. Moynihan is an amazing doctor. At first I felt uncomfortable talking about my insecurities and how I felt but sitting down with the Dr. I felt very good opening up to him with my issues and he listens and cares. Any concerns I had whether it is big/small he took his time with me to understand my situation and then come up with a plan to help achieve the results I desire. Best part about my experience is the results are natural and helps achieve the best version of myself. Would definitely recommend!

Lower Body lift: Consultation, Procedure, Recovery

Consultation

The first step in your lower body lift journey is a consultation with Dr. Lukavsky. You'll discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations during this appointment. He will evaluate your suitability for the procedure and create a personalized plan to help you achieve naturally beautiful contours.

PROCEDURE

A lower body lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat, along with the tightening of underlying muscles and tissues. The remaining skin is repositioned to achieve a more toned and youthful appearance.

Recovery

After the surgery, expect a period of healing and recovery. There will be some discomfort and swelling initially, but these subside over time. Following Dr. Lukavsky's post-operative instructions ensures a smooth and safe recovery process. ​​These instructions may include:

  • Taking prescribed medications as directed to manage pain and prevent infection
  • Wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and support the healing process
  • Avoiding strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, for a certain period after surgery
  • Following a healthy diet and staying hydrated to promote healing
  • Attending follow-up appointments with Dr. Lukavsky to monitor progress and address any concerns
