Lower Body Lift
In Berlin
ALSO KNOWN AS BELT LIPECTOMY
Drastic weight loss, weight fluctuations or natural aging often cause the skin to sag in areas below the waist. The lower body lift operation tightens and shapes the buttocks, the back, the thighs, on the outer and inner sides, the hips and the stomach. Sagging skin that is aesthetically bothersome or causes mobility impairment is removed. A lower body lift is appropriate when you have approached your ideal weight, and may also precede or follow an upper body tightening procedure. Each year, thousands of people successfully undergo a lower body lift surgery and are very happy with the results. In our practice in Berlin, too, we successfully treated many patients with the Bodylift

DETAILED PROCEDURE INFO
HOW IS A LOWER BODYLIFT PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
A complete lower body lift has the advantage that the buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips and thighs can be treated in one operation. Basically, the lower body tuck and abdominoplasty incision extends completely around the lower torso, allowing your surgeon to lift or suspend the thighs, tone the buttocks and perform the traditional tummy tuck. The length and pattern of the incisions depend on how much extra skin is removed and where the skin is. Dr. med. univ. Akhundov will do his best to consider your nickname preferences. Here's a typical scenario of this procedure for performing, though your surgeon uses a variation:
● Dr. med. univ. Akhundov will create a circumferential incision that extends around your torso. This incision allows him to remove and reposition an apron of excess skin and fat under the incision and tighten the tissue.
● The remaining skin will be pulled up the buttocks and thighs and your skin and underlying tissue will be exposed and tightened. You will be positioned on your stomach or side in this part of the procedure.
● Once your back and sides have been treated, they will be positioned on the back so the surgeon can treat your front.
At this point, there are two options that will be discussed preoperatively with you. One way is to combine the lower body lift with abdominal contouring, which is also known as tummy tucks (abdominoplasty). The other option is to combine the lower body lift with an inner thigh lift if your abdomen does not require contouring or if you already had an abdominoplasty.
● Your incisions will be closed in multiple layers via drains to control distention and swelling. Deep support seams within the underlying tissues help to form the reshaped contours. Sutures, skin glue or tapes are used to close the skin incisions.
In this single procedure, incisions are made around the body to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, outer thighs, buttocks, hips, and waist.

WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
LIPOSUCTION COMBINED WITH LOWER BODY LIFT
You can benefit from liposuction in addition to a lower body lift by getting the best possible contour. Liposuction can smooth and contour contour areas, regardless of the impact of body contouring excisions. In-depth discussion and review are important to determine a comprehensive operational plan.
ABDOMINOPLASTY OR INNER THIGH LIFT
You can combine the lower body lift with abdominal contouring, also known as abdominoplasty, or the lower body lift with inner thigh elevation, if your abdomen does not require contouring or if you already had abdominoplasty.
FURTHER WEIGHT LOSS OR LIPOSUCTION?
Since the lower body is tightened and the skin is subjected to tension, excessive severity of the thighs and buttocks at the time of surgery can prevent a long-lasting effect. In such cases, your doctor may recommend more weight loss before undergoing a lower body lift. If this is not possible, you can use liposuction to lower the mass of the thighs and buttocks before undergoing an excisional body tightening. For an individual consultation on these procedures you can order a free initial consultation appointment with Dr. med. med. univ. Akhundov in our practice in Berlin.
AVERAGE PLACEMENT
The scar on the lower bodylift, which extends around the trunk, is designed to hide in your underwear or bikini. Your doctor may place these higher or lower, according to your personal preferences.
WHICH SCARS WILL REMAIN AFTER A LOWER BODY LIFT?
The Lower Bodylift incision produces a permanent, visible scar around the entire lower trunk. The scar is located deep below the stomach, above the pubic area, and extends toward the hipbone. At the hip bone, the scar runs in a gentle curve towards the top of the buttock fold to accommodate the incision from the other side. The placement of your scar is determined by how you wear your clothes and how your scar can be easily hidden by clothing.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
During the first consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your cosmetic goals. Your doctor will assess your suitability as a candidate for the Lower Body Tightening Surgery and clarify what a lower body lift can do for you. It will help you to understand the goals and medical history, and to inform you about alternative and additional treatments (related procedures) that may be considered in your medical condition. We are happy to assist you in our practice in Berlin for an initial consultation appointment.
