Lower Body Lift

Many patients are prevented from achieving the ideal body shape because of stubborn fat deposits along the waist and the flank area. You can choose oblique flankplasty, a cutting-edge plastic surgery procedure, for addressing these areas of concern.

The surgeon can quickly sculpt a more contoured and narrower waist for women by strategically removing surplus skin and fat. They can also get rid of bulging flanks in men. You can have this advanced procedure performed as part of a liposuction and tummy tuck treatment or independently.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides a lower body lift surgery to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.

Understanding Oblique Flankplasty

This is a body contouring cosmetic surgery used as an alternative procedure for lower body lift. The technique is a posterior extension of lower transverse abdominoplasty and works towards addressing various issues that cannot be addressed by your typical procedure. The primary goal of the surgery is to redefine a more contoured waist for women and to eliminate large flanks in male patients.

Suitable Candidates

You can benefit from an oblique flankplasty procedure whether your body has dramatically lost weight or definition because of genetics or pregnancy. Ideal candidates are the ones with:

  • Cellulite or sagging tissue in the buttocks and outer thigh area
  • Sagging skin or excess fat in the lower back or abdominal area

You should have a fairly consistent weight with a dedicated exercise routine and diet to qualify for the procedure. Female patients considering pregnancy in the near future should not have this procedure. Childbirth and pregnancy can result in physical changes which may alter the results of the procedure.

Treatment Procedure

Your surgeon will first determine the amount of tissue to be removed. You will be made to stand and then lie on your side while the surgeon identifies idea incision sites. The surgeon will first make an incision along the flank tissue from the hip to the lower back to the spine and twelfth rib. Additional incisions may be made along the thighs, buttocks, and obliques depending on the target areas.

Excess skin and fat will then be removed before placing medical adhesive and sutures to close the incisions. The surgeons, in some cases, will also perform a liposuction or butt lift for achieving ideal results. Incisions will be placed strategically by a highly experienced cosmetic surgeon for minimizing scarring. In most cases, scarring, fades, and flattens over time for an aesthetically appealing outcome.

Should You Get the Procedure?

Your plastic surgeon will determine the best body-contouring solutions for you depending on your needs and goals. During the consultation, the surgeon will discuss your aesthetic goals and everything you hope to achieve with the surgery. They will also conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history.

An appropriate procedure will then be recommended by the surgeon to help you achieve the outcomes you desire. Whether you require a liposuction, thigh lift or oblique flankplasty, ideal treatment plan can be designed that complements your natural figure.

Fat Transfer

Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States. The procedure is targeted at enhancing the shape and size of the buttocks in a less invasive manner as compared to butt implants. Women are keen to achieve an attractive and youthful buttock contour that is made possible with this innovative surgery.

Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery helps in achieving a well-defined contour in the buttock area. It also provides a lift and increases the size while improving buttocks proportion. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides fat transfer BBL to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Fat transfer from various parts of the body is involved in Brazilian butt lift. Autologous fat transfer is only possible where the candidate has excess fat deposits. You should not have fluctuating body weight or be overweight. Buttock skin quality should also have high elasticity for achieving best results. The procedure is ideal for candidates hoping to increase volume in their buttocks without the need for getting synthetic implants.

Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure

BBL fat transfer cosmetic surgery involves the transfer of autologous micro fat. This is a delicate technique in which fat from your other areas of the body will be purified and transplanted in the buttock region. The procedure has two steps. The first step involves making use of a low-pressure aspiration technique for removing excess fat from donor sites carefully.

The second step involves purifying the fat and reinjecting it within the targeted buttock tissues at multiple depths. Excess fat is usually removed from the thighs, abdomen, upper arms, and love handles. Your surgeon will target such areas for fat removal where you may also receive the additional benefits of body contouring.

The donor fat is injected at specific target areas to ensure it spreads evenly throughout. This helps the surgeon achieve natural and homogeneous looking results. Permanent survival rate of fat is about 50% when the surgery gets performed by an experienced surgeon. Most surgeons inject additional fat considering this fact.

You will enjoy smoother and more rounded buttocks with multiple fat layering. No irregular places would show through the skin when the procedure is performed by an expert. It doesn’t take more than 2 – 4 hours for the entire procedure to be completed depending on the level of fat transfer required.

Immediate Effects

Patients usually notice the effects right away following a Brazilian butt lift. Tissues usually take 3 – 6 months to settle completely. In some cases, it can take up to a year for the final results of the procedure to become evident. Gravity and aging can have a significant impact on the results of the butt lift.

You would need to maintain a stable weight and good level of fitness if you want the effects to be long lasting. You should understand that fat transferred within the buttocks area acts like fat transferred in any other part of the body. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for BBL fat transfer surgery.

Skin Removal Surgery

After a massive weight loss, it is often necessary to perform a skin removal surgery in order to restore a smoother and natural looking skin appearance. Sometimes, the surgeon may recommend this surgery after a pregnancy or to correct the severe aging effects on the skin. Your surgeon will customize the surgery plan according to the amount of sagging skin in one or more areas of the body.

The kind of surgical technique your surgeon chooses to perform this procedure as well as the discreet incision placement will impact the long term outcomes of your surgery. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides skin removal surgery to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.

Tummy Tuck

The appearance of droopy or hanging skin around your waist and abdominal area can be corrected with a tummy tuck as part of your skin removal cosmetic surgery. Your surgeon may also tighten loose and separated underlying abdominal muscles in this procedure. Sometimes the navel may be moved to a new, more natural looking position as part of the abdominoplasty surgery.

Upper Arm Lift

Massive weight loss can sometimes cause the appearance of loose and hanging skin in the upper arms. To correct this condition, your surgeon may recommend an arm lift plastic surgery. In this procedure, they will create an incision along the bottom of the upper arm or in the armpit (if lesser amount of skin removal is involved).

Thigh Lift

Sagging skin in the upper leg area can occur after a major weight loss or due to aging effects. When you gain excess weight, it can cause fat tissue pockets to occur in your thighs and buttocks. Later on when you go through a weight loss, the area will deflate, causing the skin to remain hanging if it has become inelastic. A thigh lift contouring procedure can restore the smooth, youthful look of your thighs.

Back Lift

A weight loss surgery will help you reduce a dramatic amount of excess weight, but it could result in the appearance of unsightly rolls that extend under your bra line to your waist or even lower. Your surgeon can eliminate the loose skin and fatty tissue pockets with a back lift surgery. With this skin removal cosmetic surgery procedure, you can achieve attractive and natural looking curves that you will feel proud of.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian butt lift or a traditional buttock lift plastic surgery procedure can eliminate sagging skin from your rear end. If you want to restore definition and tighter contours in your lower back, waist and hips, a butt lift surgery can help. A Brazilian butt lift is less invasive because it does not involve fatty tissue removal. Depending on your needs, your surgeon will recommend the appropriate technique to restore a younger looking posterior.

Lower Body Lift

Lower body lift surgery combines one or more procedures, such as thigh lift, buttock lift, and tummy tuck surgery. If you need a more comprehensive skin removal surgery, your treatment provider may suggest a lower body lift to eliminate large amounts of sagging skin from multiple lower body areas. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV, and nearby areas for skin removal surgery.
