Restore Your Lower Body Contours With Precision Refinement

Sagging, loose skin can easily develop on the lower body after significant weight loss or pregnancy. Surgical intervention is the only way to address these concerns, and our lower body lifts in Bryn Mawr are designed to enhance your shape without creating overly tight, pulled-back results.

What Is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissue of the lower body. Most often, it’s performed after significant weight loss as the final step in the patient’s journey, bringing their vision of themselves to life. While a lower body lift does result in some weight loss, it is not a weight-loss procedure and should be performed only on patients who are at or near their goal weight. Your lower body lift can address any of the following areas:

Abdomen
Hips
Flanks
Buttock
Thighs

What to Expect From Your Lower Body Lift in Bryn Mawr

Personalized Surgical Planning

Your experience with Bloom Facial Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery will begin with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Malphrus at our clinic. There, you’ll discuss your aesthetic concerns, goals, and medical history, and she’ll examine the skin health and anatomy of your lower body to confirm your candidacy. Based on her findings, Dr. Malphrus will begin building a customized surgical plan that addresses your concerns while maintaining your natural proportions.

A 360° Approach

At Bloom, our lower body lifts use a careful circumferential pattern around your treatment areas to effectively remove excess skin. This approach allows for lifting and tightening multiple areas at once, creating smoother, more continuous contours and a more balanced result.

Tissue Tightening and Lift

Once all excess skin has been removed, Dr. Malphrus will gently tighten and reshape the underlying tissues to support your internal structures. Here, the focus is on rejuvenating your shape to achieve a lifted, youthful appearance.

Refining Your Natural Contours

To close out your surgery, Dr. Malphrus will drape your remaining skin over your treatment areas to define your newly enhanced contours. Your incisions will be closed with small sutures to promote rapid healing and encourage smooth, consistent scarring.

Patient-First, Gentle Recovery

Recovery after a lower body lift in Philadelphia typically involves swelling, tightness, and soreness in your treatment areas, which should resolve within two weeks. Depending on your needs, we may provide you with specialized compression garments to help reduce swelling and support your tissues as they settle into their new shape. Most patients can resume normal daily activities, including desk work and gentle movement, after one week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least two months to allow your body to heal.

After your procedure, Dr. Malphrus will share extensive aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure. This list may include the following items:

Incision site care and cleaning protocols
Supportive garment guidance
Hygiene recommendations
Recovery clothing options
Activity limitations
Sleep position restrictions
Swelling and pain management strategies

You’ll return to our Bryn Mawr office several times over the coming weeks for regular follow-up visits with Dr. Malphrus. There, she’ll monitor your healing progress, remove any remaining sutures, and clear you to return to high-impact activities, such as running, contact sports, and intense exercise.

Beautiful, Transformative Results

Your lower body lift will create smoother, tighter contours from the waist down, and many patients report an immediate boost in confidence after seeing their initial results. After surgery, your lower body will look more proportional without appearing overdone or artificial, and your results will continue to refine as you heal. It may take several weeks for all residual swelling to subside and for your final results to emerge.

Frequently Asked Questions Lower Body Lift

How is a lower body lift different from an extended tummy tuck?

An extended tummy tuck addresses excess skin, localized fat, and weakened or separated abdominal muscles, whereas a lower body lift removes only loose, sagging skin. Tummy tuck procedures primarily focus on the front of the abdomen, unlike the 360° approach of a lower body lift.

How long will my results last?

The final results of your lower body lift in Bryn Mawr are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their outcomes for 10-15 years. Aging and gravity will naturally affect your outcomes over time, but revision procedures are rare. You can extend the longevity of your results by maintaining a stable weight and sticking to healthy habits.

Will I have visible scarring after my procedure?

Scars are an expected part of all surgical procedures, but Dr. Malphrus strategically places incisions along the body's natural curves, such as the inner thigh, groin, and buttocks. This helps camouflage the resulting scars, and our team can advise you on scar care methods after recovery to help the marks fade.

Can I combine a lower body lift with other procedures?

Yes. Many of our patients include a lower body lift as part of a Mommy Makeover or combine it with body contouring for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
