Body Lift McMurray, PA | Dr. Simona V. Pautler, MD FACS

Introduction to Lower Body Lift

A lower body lift is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to tighten the lateral thighs and buttocks. This surgical approach targets saggy bottoms and "saddle bags" by removing excess skin and contouring the lower body. Dr. Pautler can perform this procedure independently or in conjunction with other body contouring techniques such as tummy tuck or liposuction.

Body Lift Candidacy

Body lift surgery is not a weight loss procedure but a specialized method for removing excess sagging skin and refining body contours. Ideal candidates typically include:

• Individuals who have already achieved significant weight loss
• Patients maintaining a stable weight for at least six months
• Body mass index (BMI) of no more than 30
• Patients in good overall health
• Individuals with realistic surgical expectations

Surgical Procedure Overview

Body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and involves comprehensive tissue management. Dr. Pautler makes strategic incisions extending from the rear to the front of the thighs, allowing precise removal of excess skin and fat. The underlying muscle and tissue are then tightened to create a refined, contoured appearance.

Recovery and Healing

Post-surgical recovery requires careful management. Patients can expect approximately two weeks away from work and four to six weeks of restricted activities. Wearing a compression garment and following prescribed dietary recommendations are essential for optimal healing.

Procedure Consultation

During the initial consultation, Dr. Pautler will conduct a comprehensive assessment, discussing individual goals, medical history, and potential surgical approaches. A thorough physical examination and photographic documentation help develop a personalized surgical plan tailored to each patient's unique body contours.

Cost Considerations

Body lift pricing varies based on individual surgical requirements. The total cost may encompass anesthesia, operating room facilities, and additional medical services. Each procedure is customized, making precise pricing dependent on specific patient needs.
