It is not uncommon for patients
to experience excessive skin and
fat rolls in the back and flank
area, especially after massive weight
loss. In combination with this problem
patients also complain of sagging
hanging skin in the buttock area.
Both these problems can be corrected
by performing a lower body lift.
A lower body lift involves making
an incision in the underwear line
above the buttocks and lifting the
entire buttock skin and fat complex
superiorly. As well, it also elevates
the skin of the back and pulls it
all down own similar to the tummy
tuck but in the opposite side. This
pulls the folds out of the back
skin. And elvates the buttock at
the same time. All the skin nd fat
is then excsised leaving amuch mre
lifted and shapely back side.
