The plastic surgeons at our La Jolla, San Diego practice can use liposuction and lift techniques to refine the contours of your lower body. As we age, it often becomes difficult to keep the thighs, hips, and buttocks in ideal form; cellulite and the effects of gravity can keep the lower body from looking its very best. Read on to learn more about how these amazing procedures can enhance your figure.
Liposuction can be performed almost anywhere on the body to remove unwanted fat cells. Many patients from our San Diego practice find liposuction to be an excellent procedure for removing excess fat from the buttocks, thighs, and hips. For many women and men, stubborn bulges in these areas can remain untouched by diet and exercise, making liposuction an excellent option for reshaping and smoothing lower body contours.
After discussing your surgical goals with one of our plastic surgeons at Alexander Cosmetic Surgery in La Jolla, you will return to our San Diego office for the liposuction procedure. The surgeon will make a few markings on the area to be contoured to help him achieve symmetrical results. Next, small incisions will be made around the liposuction site to access fat cells with a specially designed surgical suction tool called a cannula. With a back and forth motion of the cannula, the excess fat cells will be broken down and removed from the area. Once the appropriate amount of fat has been eliminated, the incisions will be closed and you will be dressed in a surgical garment to aid in proper healing.
Patients of our San Diego practice who undergo lower body liposuction are usually very pleased with the results. For many women, liposuction is the only way to effectively remove cellulite from the buttocks, thighs, and hips – after surgery they are generally very satisfied with their enhanced proportions and smoother curves.

Lower body lift can transform the appearance of the hips, buttocks, thighs, and the lower abdomen. Ideal for patients who have undergone bariatric weight-loss surgery, lower body lift can also be performed to remedy laxity and disproportion of the lower body due to multiple pregnancies, weight gain, or aging.
The procedure begins with an incision along the lower abdomen, located below the belt line, and across the lower back. Our surgeon releases excess skin and fat from the underlying structures and draws the skin upwards to lift the buttocks, thighs, and hips to a more ideal, elevated position. He carefully smoothes out skin folds by pulling the skin taught and removes excess fat deposits using liposuction. Once the lift is complete, excess skin and fat that have been raised upward, beyond the initial incision, are removed and the opening is sealed, tightening the lower abdomen.
Patients of our La Jolla, San Diego practice who have undergone lower body lift are often pleased with their remarkable results. Eliminating skin folds, tightening lax skin, smoothing areas with excess fat, and elevating the buttocks to a more youthful position can dramatically improve the contours of the lower body. While there is a moderately visible scar left behind, our plastic surgeons are careful to keep its appearance as minimal as possible, by using advanced suturing techniques and strategically placing the incision.
