Lower Body Lift

What is Lower Body Lift surgery?

Lower Body Lift, synonymous with 360 Lower Body Lift and Belt Lipectomy, is a Body Aesthetic Surgery that aims to create a firm and toned appearance in the lower body, including the lower abdomen and the buttocks, through removing the excess skin and fat deposits around the lower body.

Why is Lower Body Lift performed?

Lower Body Lift is often appropriate for patients who have severe saggy skin on their lower body, which is often due to very rapid weight loss caused by Bariatric surgeries. But, patients who have any degree of excess skin on their lower body can be a candidate for 360 Lower Body Lift. 360 Lower Body Lift is an Aesthetic surgery and does not induce any weight loss other than weight of the excess skin removed.

What are the conditions for Lower Body Lift surgery?

Conditions for a Lower Body Lift include:

  • The patient should be eligible to undergo general anesthesia.
  • The patient should have excess skin sagging and excess fatty tissue in the lower body.
  • Patient’s Body Mass Index, BMI, should be below 30 and the patient should have a.

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Lower Body Lift?

Before the surgery, the patient should:

  • Be at the hospital a day before their surgery for the pre operative tests to be performed.
  • Stop smoking and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the surgery to alleviate the risk of a blood clot.
  • Avoid medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) for two weeks before and after surgery. These medications may increase the risk of internal bleeding. Patients should confirm each medication and supplement they wish to take with their Patient Coordinator.
  • Stop taking Multivitamin supplements 7 days prior to the surgery, and if it contains vitamin K should not be used for 30 days following the surgery.
  • Stop taking oral contraceptives 30 days before the surgery.

Also, the patient's body will be examined and measured, and the surgeon might have photographs taken so that the patient can compare the appearance before and after the Lower Body Lift surgery.

How is the Lower Body Lift performed?

At the start of the surgery, general anesthesia is administered. An incision that goes around the torso, forming a circle around the abdomen, is made. The excess skin and fat below the incision is removed and the remaining skin around the buttocks is tightened. Liposuction may also be performed at this time. Then a Tummy Tuck surgery or a Thigh Lift may be performed depending on the patient. The tightened skin is then set in place using sutures.

The surgery, on average, takes 3 hours but can take up to 7 hours depending on the additional operations performed.

What are The Things To Be Considered After Lower Body Lift?

After the Lower Body Lift surgery, the patient should:

  • Should stay at the hospital for the recommended duration of stay.
  • Avoid strenuous physical activities for at least 6 weeks following surgery.
  • Have a healthy diet as it will make the healing process faster.
  • Take their prescribed medication as instructed by their doctor.
  • Avoid putting pressure on the lower body.

The patient can usually return to work after 2 weeks, but should still take care to not physically strain themselves and to not put too much pressure on their lower body.

What Are The Risks of Lower Body Lift?

As with any other major surgery, there are some risks associated with Lower Body Lift. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Scarring
  • Pain
  • Pour wound healing
  • Seroma
  • Changes in skin sensation
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Adverse Reaction to the anesthesia
  • Suboptimal aesthetic result, or possible asymmetry

Georgia Harley reviewed What an amazing experience

What an amazing experience. Like most, the idea of travelling to another country for a medical procedure was nerve wracking at first however, my amazing care co ordinator Sean was there every step of the way! I arrived on the 31st December and everything from my booking experience, hospital stay, pre op tests, gastric sleeve surgery , transport home and post op assistance has exceeded alp expectations. I am from the UK and all of the care far surpassed anything that I have recieved in the UK. Sean has also been there post me returning to the UK to check in and respond quickly to any post op questions that I have had. Would 100% reccomend

Had a bit of a mix up but this was easily fixed and my feedback taken onboard for future patients 😊 The hospital is immaculate with very friendly and caring staff. I was very well looked after before and after surgery. After surgery nurses would check on me every 1.5/2 hours and if I rang the bell they would come instantly. Translators were brilliant and the staff who didn’t speak much English was very good with google translate 😊 The care and the cleanliness at the hospital I went to Medistanbul was out of the world. Puts the UK hospitals to shame honestly! Had so many family & friends telling me don’t go abroad for surgery but it’s the best thing I ever done! My coordinator Rick Miller was so quick at responding, always kept me up to date and was very helpful throughout the whole process. My surgeon was Prof Dr Kagan Katar who was very professional, he came to see me before and after operation Also the transfer driver Orhan was amazing he was so helpful with our bags in the huge airport and sorted us out with wheelchairs Had a brilliant experience

customer reviewed Dr Ahmet - arm lift and Sr Emre - face, neck, eyes. First class

I had arm lift surgery with Dr Ahmet on 8 October 2024. David Turker was my co ordinator. From the collection at the airport to dropping be off ;I also had dental implant and my partner has a hair transplant) everything went smoothly. They’re organised and efficient. There are several interpreters and staff who work for Booking Surgery who are resident at different times in the ward of the hospitals. On 30/1/24 I returned to finish off my tooth implant and to have a deep plane facelift, a neck lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Again everyone was fantastic. My only critique is the hospitals’ food, which, similar to UK is not great but I knew that prior to going and found out where the nearest shops were. I also ordered in pizza via the helpers and they got me stuff from the shop. They also got me a soft pillow as the pillow on my hospital bed the second time was like a boulder with wee pebbles in it LOL. But this is a minor thing and plenty of cheap pillows for sale nearby. I felt that my treatment in Istanbul was better than any I’d ever received in the UK and I’ve had over 5 operations in Scotland. The nurses in Turkey are so kind and compassionate. Any medication you need for any ancillary issues that arise is readily prescribed to you. The surgeons are lovely too and experienced and professional. I had Dr Emre Koçman for my face etc., ab older guy in his 60s with great experience. I’m not 10 days post op and pleased Ruth progress. I’m 65 and once healed I'm going to look 45. That wasn’t my aim but I’ll take it LOL ! Thank you booking surgery. You’re the best. Maxine
