How Do I Prepare for Lower Body Lift?

Because a lower body lift involves surgery in multiple body areas, you can expect an extensive recovery period. Dr. Rottman may perform the body lift over several appointments, or he may treat multiple areas during one surgical appointment. Please arrange to take time off work and have someone care for you at home.

Is a Lower Body Lift Painful?

Lower body lift surgery in Baltimore is performed under general anesthesia. This allows you to sleep soundly throughout your treatment journey and avoid any pain or discomfort. After surgery, Dr. Rottman will prescribe oral painkillers to help make your healing process seamless.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

A lower body lift involves a series of appointments at our world-class practice in Baltimore, Maryland. Prior to surgery, you’ll attend one or more consultations to discuss your goals and concerns and receive a customized surgical plan. After your lower body lift, Dr. Rottman will schedule several follow-up appointments to remove your sutures and drains, answer any questions, and support a complication-free healing journey.

How Long Until I See Results?

Once swelling begins to resolve, usually within several weeks, you will notice improvements in your lower body contours. However, healing takes time, and it may take several months before the full benefits of your procedure emerge.

How Soon Can I Travel After a Lower Body Lift?

For shorter trips via car, patients should wait around 5 to 7 days. For longer-haul flights or international voyages, patients are advised to wait 4 to 6 weeks.

What Are the Risks Associated With a Lower Body Lift?

Although all surgery involves some risk and potential for complications, a lower body lift is typically safe and effective when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Rottman in Baltimore, MD. He uses the latest surgical techniques and follows strict patient health and safety protocols. The most common risks include: Swelling Bleeding Bruising Infection Fat necrosis Adverse reactions to anesthesia. Numbness or changes in skin sensation

Introduction to a Lower Body Lift for Men

Remove Loose Skin & Reshape the Lower Body

Carrying extra weight is not only a health risk, but it also takes a toll on your skin, especially as you age. Your skin loses elasticity, so it cannot reshape to fit your body’s natural contours.

Double board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Steven J. Rottman specializes in lower body lifts for men, and he is proud to offer the procedure to the men of Baltimore, MD, and surrounding communities.

What Is a Lower Body Lift?

When we are young and fit, our skin has the elasticity it needs to reshape itself as our bodies change. The benefit of this is that a man’s body looks toned and masculine. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and other substances our skin needs to “bounce back” into shape. As a result, the skin hangs loosely off our bodies.

A lower body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat that hides your contours. The procedure involves treatment on several body areas, including the abdomen, outer thighs, buttocks, waist, and hips.

Combining a Lower Body Lift With Other Procedures

Dr. Rottman is strategic when designing your individualized treatment plan. He can combine a lower body lift with other powerful and transformative aesthetic procedures to help you look and feel your best. Options include:

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) trims loose, sagging skin in the midsection while firming the underlying belly muscles, removing excess fat, and repositioning the navel in a more youthful-looking location.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Lower Body Lift?

If you are within your ideal weight and have loose skin and extra fat on your thighs, hips, abdomen, buttocks, and waist, a lower body lift may be right for you. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rottman so that you can have the professional guidance you need to make an informed decision about a lower body lift for men.

Benefits of a Lower Body Lift

When performed by a qualified and skilled surgeon such as Dr. Rottman in Baltimore, MD, a lower body lift enhances a man’s body. Toned muscles can be hidden under sagging skin and fat deposits that diet and exercise can’t eliminate.

How to Begin Your Lower Body Lift Journey

Dr. Rottman values the time he spends with his male patients discussing their aesthetic concerns. He understands that plastic surgery is a difficult decision for men because the field is primarily associated with treatments for women. He takes the time to explain how the lower body lift can help you feel more confident.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lower Body Lift

The exact procedure for a lower body lift is tailored to each patient’s unique needs. For the abdomen, Dr. Rottman performs a tummy tuck that involves excising extra skin and fat. He may also use sutures to tighten the midsection muscles. The tummy tuck may also be extended into the waist, where men develop “love handles.” The same procedure of removing skin and fat while tightening muscles is also used for the buttocks, thighs, and hips.

Lower Body Lift Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Lower Body Lift Care

Rest is the most important aspect of your recovery from a lower body lift. You may have multiple incision sites that need attention. Expect some discomfort, which you may manage with over-the-counter or prescription pain medications. You will also experience swelling, fatigue, and bruising.

After your surgery, Dr. Rottman provides detailed post-surgical instructions that must be followed carefully. You will be required to refrain from even light activities for a period of time. You will also need to avoid exercise and strenuous activities for a few months or longer.

How Much Does a Lower Body Lift Cost in Baltimore, MD?

The cost of a lower body lift depends on two factors:

The number of areas that require surgery
The extent of correction in each area

Lower body lifts are normally considered cosmetic. Therefore, your medical insurance will not cover a portion of the cost. If you want affordable monthly payments for your lower body lift, visit our financing page to learn about our payment options and CareCredit.

Why Choose Rottman Plastic Surgery?

Although lower body lifts are common, not every plastic surgeon has the expertise needed to perform these procedures on men. Enhancing the male body requires slight adaptations of surgical methods. Dr. Rottman is skilled in performing these adaptations to enhance the masculinity of the male body.
