What effect does a Lower Body Lift have for the Abdomen?
A Lower Body Lift flattens and smoothes the abdomen. During the procedure, an incision is made along the lower abdomen and around the edge of the belly button. Deep to the skin, the abdominal muscles are tightened from the rib cage down to the pelvis creating an internal corset. This tightening of the muscle layer is essential for creating a flat, contoured abdomen. Excess skin is then redraped downward, removed, and sutured as a fine line. The umbilicus (belly button) remains attached to the abdominal wall and a new opening is made for it. A Lower Body Lift also raises the pubic region, rejuvenating this area as well.
