What is a buttock and thigh lift?
Buttock and thigh lifts (or lower body lifts or thigh dermolipectomy) address excess collections of skin and pockets of fat that cause bulging or sagging. During the lift, Chicago Plastic Surgeon Dr. Placik removes extra fat through an incision and trims skin, giving the buttocks and thighs a smoother, tighter appearance. Sometimes but not always, buttock and thigh lifts are performed at the same time as liposuction.
