Lower body lift (body reconturing)
Description
A surgical procedure that involves removing the excess skin all the way around the lower abdomen, the lower back, hip and buttock region. After removing the skin, the hanging tissue of the thighs, buttock, hips and abdomen are attached to a higher location to lift the tissues back into their normal location. This tightens and smooths the skin envelope of the entire lower torso.
