Reshape & tighten your lower torso

A lower body lift in Atlanta is a comprehensive surgical procedure that reshapes and tightens the lower torso. It targets the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs, addressing issues like sagging skin, excess fat, and loss of elasticity. The procedure involves removing surplus skin and fat and tightening underlying muscles to enhance body contours. Ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or aging, a lower body lift results in a smoother, firmer appearance and improved overall body proportions.

Your lower body lift experience

Consultation

During your initial consultation, Dr. Colgrove will evaluate your specific needs and goals. You’ll discuss your medical history, desired outcomes, and any concerns you may have. Dr. Colgrove will explain the procedure in detail, including the surgical techniques he will use, and answer any questions you may have. A personalized plan will be crafted to ensure that the procedure aligns with your expectations and delivers optimal results.

Surgery

Your lower body lift surgery will be performed in our AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgery center. Dr. Colgrove will make incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring: a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, extending from hip to hip, and a circular incision around the thighs. These incisions allow for the removal of excess skin and fat while ensuring a smoother and firmer contour. Next, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs. The lower body lift in Atlanta procedure takes a few hours.

Recovery

Post-surgery, you will experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which is normal. Dr. Colgrove will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to manage these side effects and ensure a smooth recovery. You may need to wear a compression garment to support the healing process. Most patients can return to work and regular activities within 2-4 weeks, though you should avoid strenuous activities for about 6-8 weeks. Full recovery, including the resolution of swelling, may take several months.

Results

You can expect to see initial results as swelling subsides, with the final outcome becoming clearer within 6-12 months. The lower body lift will offer a smoother, firmer appearance, with improved body contours and enhanced confidence. Dr. Colgrove will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure you’re satisfied with the results.
