Transform Your Contours. Restore Your Confidence.
Have you achieved a significant weight loss milestone, only to find yourself struggling with excess skin and sagging tissue? Whether it’s due to massive weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, a Body Lift can help you complete your transformation and enjoy the body you’ve worked hard to achieve.
At Lowe Plastic Surgery in Oklahoma City, OK, we offer expert body contouring solutions designed to restore shape, tone, and confidence. If you’re ready to eliminate loose, stretched skin and reveal smoother, firmer contours, a Body Lift may be the answer.
What Is a Body Lift?
A Body Lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure that targets excess skin and tissue around the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs. Unlike isolated procedures like a tummy tuck or thigh lift, a body lift addresses multiple areas of the lower torso in a single surgery, creating balanced, natural-looking results.
The procedure typically involves:
- Removal of sagging skin and fat from the lower body
- Tightening of underlying tissues and muscles
- Lifting and recontouring the buttocks, abdomen, and outer thighs
- Optional liposuction for enhanced definition and symmetry
This procedure is ideal for patients looking to achieve a more contoured, proportionate body shape after weight loss or pregnancy.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Body Lift?
You may be a great candidate for a body lift if you:
- Have lost a substantial amount of weight and are left with excess, hanging skin
- Suffer from skin chafing, irritation, or hygiene challenges due to sagging tissue
- Are at or near your ideal weight and have maintained it for at least 6 months
- Are in good general health and do not smoke
- Desire a more contoured and youthful lower body appearance
At Lowe Plastic Surgery, we work closely with patients to ensure their goals, health, and expectations align with what the procedure can safely and effectively deliver.

What to Expect from the Procedure and Recovery
The body lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 4–6 hours, depending on the extent of correction needed. It may be performed alone or in combination with other procedures such as a breast lift or arm lift.
Recovery timeline:
- Week 1–2: Limited mobility, swelling, and the use of compression garments
- Week 3–4: Gradual return to light activities
- Week 6+: Resumption of most daily activities and noticeable contour improvements
- 3–6 months: Continued healing and refinement of results
Your recovery plan will be closely supervised by our surgical team to ensure a smooth, safe, and satisfying experience.
