Lower Body Lift 

Lower body lift is also known as a belt lipectomy. It is one of the more popular cosmetic surgery procedures today. Many people find that a significant portion of weight loss after making lifestyle changes occurs in the hips, buttocks, and thigh region. Large folds can be left on the skin after extreme weight loss causing discomfort and chafing.

Lower body lift can remove excess skin and also add flattering contours to the buttocks and other parts of the body. It is less invasive as compared to a full body lift. The procedure is beneficial to patients whose skin on the lower body has begun to sag or those who have experienced massive weight loss.

Evaluate the pros and cons of the procedure during your initial consultation with your surgeon in order to make a judicious decision. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides lower body lift surgery to patients in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Lower Body Lift Procedure

The surgeon will make an incision on the waist around the belt line to begin the procedure. The incision shall be made all the way down to the inner thighs from the lower abdomen. The surgeon will use their experience and skills to ensure that the scars are hidden by clothing and underwear.

The incisions shall be used for removing excess tissue and fat before stretching the skin taut. The incisions will then be sutured and covered using compression garments and bandages.

Many patients combine belt lipectomy with a mid-body lift or tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) since it is easier to tighten the lower body over abdomen. You should be able to return to your normal routine and work within 2 to 3 weeks after the plastic surgery.

Recovery Period

It can take about 2 to 3 weeks for you to return to work after getting a lower body lift surgery. You should also take care to avoid any strenuous activity for several months. Make sure you follow the surgeon’s post-op care instructions so that the underlying tissue can heal in a proper, beautiful, and healthy way.

Expected Results

Lower body lifts can repair drooping and sagging skin and address weakened underlying muscles or stubborn fat deposits. Patients, in general are usually pleased with attaining a smoother, firmer, and improved figure. Scars from the procedure can diminish over time. However, they are permanent in nature and need to be placed in discreet locations. Your self-confidence and appearance can be sufficiently improved by a lower body lift surgery.

Benefits of Lower Body Lift

There are several cosmetic and medical benefits of getting a lower body lift. This includes:

Wear clothing of choice

Patients typically want to show off their weight loss hard work by wearing clothes of their choice. However, loose skin folds can restrict the number of clothing and fashion options. Lower body lift surgery gives patients the freedom to dress the way they want.

Trimmed and youthful appearance

Lower body lift cosmetic surgery involves body contouring procedures for repairing the impact of weight loss. It positively improves the body shape and allows patients to display their muscle tone.

Breast Implant Profiles

Breast augmentation procedure is a popular cosmetic surgery among women seeking to enhance the appearance and shape of their breasts. Implant profile can go a long way in changing the existing shape of your breasts. Breast implants come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and heights. Profile or height is a crucial factor to consider for successful augmentation results.

The projection or profile of a breast implant determines how far the end result will project from your chest wall. The breast profile is determined by the base diameter and the amount it occupies on your chest wall. Same sized breast implants can have completely different forward projections if they have different base widths.

Narrower base widths offer more forward projection with heavier upper breast poles as compared to wider base widths. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides breast augmentation surgery to patients in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding communities.

Breast Implant Width is an Important Factor

Women that don’t want overly projecting breasts should choose implants with a wider base. The ideal implant profile only partially depends on the natural breast width. Still, it’s critical that you try matching the implant width with that of your natural breasts as much as possible. In fact, most surgeons recommend choosing a slightly smaller implant base size for the most natural looking results.

Too wide implants tend to extend beyond the breast outline and appear overly visible when viewed from the front. Such implants tend to distort the breast shape as well. Such implants increase the risk of uniboob or symmastia, where two breasts join to form one. The type of implant you choose should be based on the type of look you want to achieve.

Choose Lower Implant Profiles

You should choose lower breast implant profiles if you want:

• Side boobs or more fullness in the sides
• Fullness in the upper breast pole area
• Softer breasts

Choose Higher Implant Profiles

You should choose higher breast implant profiles if you want:

• To decrease moderate or mild sagging
• A more dramatic look
• Rounder breasts
• Pointier breasts
• Firmer breasts

Picking the Right Breast Implant for Augmentation Surgery

Choosing the right breast implant is the toughest part of the breast augmentation plastic surgery procedure, even if it is the most crucial. Breast implants come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and profiles. You should take your time to do extensive research for finding the ideal fit.

Breast implant profiles are an important consideration since the final appearance of your breasts depends on them. This is especially true if you are trying to achieve a natural look. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend a few options based on their knowledge of the human anatomy and breast shapes. This is why you should always consult with an established and reliable cosmetic surgeon.

You should also know that eventually you need to choose breast implants based on your aesthetic ambitions. Female cosmetic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan receives patients from Dallas, Texas, and nearby areas for breast augmentation.
