Overview
A lower body lift in Antalya is a transformative contouring procedure for people who have lost a significant amount of weight, often after bariatric surgery. It removes loose, excess skin around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and outer thighs in a single, coordinated operation, lifting and smoothing the lower body for a firmer, more proportionate shape.
Dr. Duygu Aksoy plans post-bariatric body contouring carefully, prioritising safety and a balanced result.
Is it right for you?
- You have lost a large amount of weight and your weight is now stable
- You have loose, hanging skin around the lower trunk and thighs
- Skin irritation or hygiene concerns affect daily life
- You are a non-smoker in good general health and nutritionally stable
- You have realistic expectations about scars and recovery
How the procedure is performed
A lower body lift is performed under general anaesthesia and is a longer procedure, often taking around four to six hours. Excess skin is removed through a circumferential incision around the lower trunk, and the remaining tissue is lifted and re-draped to recontour the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs together.
Recovery & timeline
Recovery is gradual. Expect to rest and wear supportive garments for several weeks, with drains sometimes used initially. Many patients return to light activity in around three to four weeks and resume exercise from about six to eight weeks. Swelling settles over several months.
Results
A lower body lift aims to deliver a firmer, smoother, more proportionate lower body that typically endures with a stable weight. Scars are an expected trade-off and generally fade over time. Results vary between individuals.
