Lower Body Lift

Lower Body Lift In Miami

Losing weight is a journey that requires dedication and hard work. For some, achieving their weight-loss goals may require using GLP-1 medications. Ozempic® and similar medications have been shown to help patients lose weight, but it’s not uncommon for patients to experience excess sagging skin, particularly in the lower body. This can be frustrating and make it difficult to enjoy the benefits of their weight loss fully. Luckily, there is a solution—a lower body lift.

What is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift in Miami is a cosmetic surgery procedure that targets excess skin and fat in the lower body area, including the buttocks, outer thighs, lower back, and abdomen. It is most requested by patients who have undergone significant weight loss, and a tummy tuck alone won’t take care of all the problem areas. The procedure involves making a “belt” type incision all the way around the waistline, using it to remove excess skin and fat, and lifting and sculpting the entire area.

Patients who have lost significant weight with Ozempic® may notice sagging skin and excess fat in the lower body. This can be particularly frustrating after putting in so much hard work to lose the weight. A lower body lift can help patients achieve the toned, contoured appearance they desire by removing excess skin and fat from the lower body.

Not only does it eliminate excess abdominal skin and tighten the six-pack, but it also lifts and sculpts the thighs, back, and buttocks.

What Are the Benefits of a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift provides both aesthetic and functional benefits, making it one of the most transformative procedures available for post-weight-loss patients. By removing loose skin and tightening underlying tissues, it restores smoother contours across the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and buttocks, helping patients achieve the body shape they’ve worked so hard for. Beyond cosmetic improvements, many patients experience relief from skin irritation, rashes, and discomfort caused by excess skin folds. Clothing fits more comfortably, movement feels easier, and confidence soars as patients finally see the true results of their weight loss efforts. For many, this surgery marks the final step in their transformation journey.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Lower Body Lift?

The best candidates for a lower body lift are individuals who have achieved significant weight loss and are now left with sagging skin in the lower body. Ideal patients are in good general health, maintain a stable weight, and are nonsmokers or willing to quit before surgery to promote healing. Candidates should also have realistic expectations about the procedure and understand that while scarring is inevitable, it is strategically placed and fades over time. Patients who feel their excess skin is holding them back from enjoying their new figure often find this procedure to be life-changing.

    I had an amazing experience with Dr.Gallagher and her team, the whole experience from the procedure (top surgery) to the post-op care has been fantastic. Dr.Gallagher was able to address any concerns I had with my chest before the procedure and made me feel comfortable the whole way through, and then the attentiveness post-op is all the better.

    Thank you so much Dr. Gallagher for your amazing work! I appreciated the great support from your team at the surgical centre and your office. Everyone was so wonderful! I am extremely happy with my results and had a very positive experience. I had followed Dr. Gallagher for several years on Instagram prior to my surgery, and learned so much from her detailed explanations about various aspects of the surgical procedures, what to expect on the day, recovery, etc. I had complete trust, felt safe, felt listened to. I also appreciate the follow-ups, and answers to all my questions. The support, warmth, care is top notch!

    Dr. Gallagher and her whole team, from Neasa to Daryl Ann and everyone else in between, are absolutely fantastic, kind hearted, hard working people. Dr. Gallagher truly amazed me and I’m so grateful to have had her on my team.

    I was able to get keyhole top surgery about three weeks ago and I’m loving my results already! I’m muscular and heavier set as well but always had a smaller chest, and I’m so glad Dr. Gallagher was the one who could do this for me.

    Right now I am still experiencing swelling, but I am using compression dressings every day, throughout the day which helps tons! I know that when the swelling subsides months from now, and everything is “back to normal”, I am going to love even more what I see in the mirror because I can finally see me.

    So glad I found Dr. Gallagher. I would not have elected to pursue my surgery had I not found a qualified and competent medical provider that I felt I could trust and have confidence in their ability to offer a high-quality, low-risk result. As a result of my initial contacts and consultations with Gallagher Plastic Surgery practice, I was willing to pursue my desired surgery and even travel half-way across the country to their offices. I’m so glad I did. The results are outstanding, more than I even anticipated. This was the 3rd practice I had dealt with and so I was learning what to look for and knew Dr. Gallagher was a good fit. The medical expertise and professionalism are what I based my decision on to proceed. They were calmly confident for a reason. I realized at the surgery event and through to the 3 week post-op checkin the excellence in their personal care (bed side manner). The office and Dr. Gallagher communicated very well. Everything went smoothly and as planned. As nervous as I was about an unnecessary surgery, Dr. Gallagher and her team were able to build enough trust that I was able to receive a very beneficial result.

    Dr. Gallagher and her team are the absolute best! She completed my brachioplasty on Tuesday and when I saw the initial results at my post op appointment two days later I literally had tears of joy streaming down my face. My weight loss journey has been a road of many ups and downs, and I was so nervous about whether this surgery could even work for me. Even with the swelling that is normal after brachioplasty, there is an enormous difference, and I am still in disbelief that even this early on, my arms look this great. My husband was even in disbelief, and we’re so excited to see what I’ll look like in two weeks time. Dr. Gallagher is so kind and patient, and walked me through all of the phases of healing/expectations, and was great to call and check in. If you are looking for a highly skilled surgeon that will give you optimal results along with a compassionate approach, it is well worth your time and money to consider a consultation with her. I am forever thankful for her and for her team! This is life changing for me. Thank you, Dr. Gallagher! I appreciate you so much!
