Anyone who loses a significant amount of weight can have excess skin and stubborn fat pockets around their mid-section and on their hips and thighs. Both men and women can struggle to reach their desired body shape after working hard to lose weight. When you look into the mirror, you may still not feel like you have succeeded because of the sagging excess tissue you see that you cannot get rid of on your own. All of the best eating habits and hardest exercise routines will not be able to make the final difference. This is where a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Jeffrey Ditesheim can help.
A lower body lift in Charlotte is a surgical body sculpting procedure that will remove excess skin and stubborn pockets of fat that remain while tightening up tissue and muscles from your waist to your knees. It will give the finishing touches to all of your hard work.

I’m incredibly happy with the final results and I already have had my self confidence return to the level it used to be.

Healing timelines can vary depending on the area treated, but here’s what most patients can expect after a lift body procedure:
Expect soreness, swelling, and limited movement. You’ll need help with daily tasks and should plan plenty of rest.
Most patients can return to light activity and desk work. Bruising fades and mobility improves. Compression garments are still worn.
Many patients resume normal routines and low-impact exercise. Incisions are healing, and swelling has reduced noticeably.
Results continue to refine. You’ll see smoother contours and improved comfort in fitted clothing. Scars begin to soften.
Final results are visible. Your skin has settled into its new shape and scars continue to fade over time.
