What Is Lower Body Lift Surgery?
A lower body lift is a contouring procedure that eliminates excess skin and fat to lift and reshape common sections of the body altered by pregnancy and weight loss. Lower body lift surgery targets the middle and lower body, including the abdomen, buttocks, flanks, lower back, and upper thighs. Howland Plastic Surgery performs this major treatment to help redefine a patient's lower body. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas K. Howland has special experience with skin removal surgeries. Schedule a consultation at our Draper, UT practice to discover how a lower body lift can help you reach your weight loss goals with a firmer body that looks healthy and normal.
How Is A Lower Body Lift Performed?
This surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and it is common for patients to require at least one overnight stay for monitored recovery. The operation can be extensive with durations ranging from 4 – 7 hours. The incision typically follows the line of a belt, earning it the alternate name of a circumferential 360 or beltectomy. The specific incision pattern is tailored to the patient's unique body shape and the volume of skin to be removed. Dr. Howland will carefully plan the incision's size and location. Once the incision is made, excess skin and fat are surgically removed from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Liposuction might also be employed to enhance body contour by removing additional fat. The surgery aims to tighten and refine the underlying tissues and muscles, resulting in a firmer and more sculpted appearance. This procedure is often combined with a tummy tuck for optimal results.

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.
