Quick Overview of the Lower Back Lift Procedure

Benefits of Lower Back Lift Surgery

Many people develop saggy skin and love handles in the lower back, which may be due to genetics, ageing, or drastic weight loss. The sagging skin and tissue may be concealing the natural definition of your lower back and buttocks. A lower back lift helps patients achieve a slimmer and more toned figure by trimming the excess skin and fat and tightening the remaining skin. 

As a result, after the surgery, many patients regain the confidence to wear clothing and swimwear that exposes their lower back and are motivated to lead a more active lifestyle with their slimmer and defined physique. 

Additionally, with the procedure, the surgeon may be able to reposition the fat tissue over the buttock muscles, thus enhancing your butt while slimming your waist to accentuate curves in the right areas.

In general, the cost of a lower back lift in London at the CREO Clinic starts from £9,900, and a lower back lift with buttock auto-augmentation from £13,500.

Lower Back Lift Procedure

A lower back lift takes between 2-5 hours to perform, depending on the complexity of your surgery. You will be under general anaesthesia for the procedure. The surgeon creates an incision along the lower back, just above the buttocks. Afterwards, they will remove the excess skin and fat in the lower back. Finally, the surgeon will stretch and tighten the remaining skin before closing the incision with sutures. 

If performing buttock auto-augmentation, the surgeon will remove only the excess skin while leaving the fat tissue. The surgeon will create pockets under the skin over the buttock muscle to insert the fat tissue. To do so, they will rotate the fat tissue downwards to ensure it remains attached to the blood supply.

Recovery

Immediately after the surgery, you will experience swelling, tightness, and numbness in the lower back. These side effects gradually dissipate in 1-2 weeks, after which most patients can return to work and light activities. However, you must wait at least six weeks before resuming more strenuous exercise and activities. We will prescribe medication and provide detailed aftercare instructions to help make your recovery as comfortable as possible.

Results

You will notice immediate results after your surgery as your lower back will appear more defined without the excess skin and fat. However, it may take up to 6 months before the final results of your lower back lift emerge. 

By this time, the residual swelling will dissipate, and you will have a more natural-looking contoured lower back. Additionally, if you had a buttock auto-augmentation, the skin in your butt will have stretched to accommodate the fat tissue, thus creating an enhancement that looks and feels natural.

Complementary Procedures

Lower Back Lift and Bra Line Back Lift

A bra line back lift is a surgery that removes excess skin and fat in the upper back, which accumulates around the bra line (commonly called bra bulges or back rolls). Many people who have excess skin in the lower back also wish to contour their bra line area to smoothen and even out the appearance of their back. In such cases, combining a lower back lift with a bra line back lift provides a more dramatic and natural-looking result.

Back Lift and Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and, in some cases, tightens the muscles in the area. Many people develop folds of excess skin and fat in the stomach. In such cases, the combination of a back lift and tummy tuck, also known as a belt lipectomy, is an ideal procedure as it contours and evens out the appearance of the front and back of the upper body.
