A lower body lift works by tightening loose skin around the body, especially the lower back, buttocks, and thighs. A tummy tuck is often used to remove fat from the abdomen. Patients looking to determine whether a lower body lift or tummy tuck is the right procedure for them must make various considerations. Factors such as skin elasticity, specific problem areas, the ability to engage in and maintain an overall healthy lifestyle, and other factors are all important considerations. Tummy tucks focus on achieving a stiffer or flatter abdomen and can be an excellent choice for patients prepared to do what is necessary for living a healthy lifestyle to maintain the results of the procedure. A lower body lift may be the solution for patients who want to target the circumference of the lower body region and are looking at excessive sagging skin due to a lack of elasticity. Whether a lower body lift or a circumferential tummy tuck is the right choice will depend on each patient’s specific situation, needs, and goals.
