Losing weight is great for your health, your self-image, your confidence, and your body contours. Don’t let lax skin that remains after significant weight loss hide or obscure the results of your hard work! If you’re finding that your belly, sides, legs, and backside still don’t look the way you want them to—even after successfully lowering that number on the scale—consider a lower body lift from the Vancouver area’s Dr. Robyn Watts.

Some people benefit from a procedure that focuses only on their abdominal area. Known as a tummy tuck, this surgery can target a bulging belly or loose skin. Others notice that just about everything from the waist down could use a little “tightening up.” If you want a sleeker silhouette that involves more than just your midsection, you may be an ideal candidate for a lower body lift.
Dr. Robyn Watts is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, and body contouring. Trained in Canada and the U.S., she leads plastic surgery at Richmond Hospital, practices at Cambie Surgical Centre, teaches at UBC, and is known for meticulous technique, compassion, and natural results.
Your lower body lift details will depend on numerous factors, including which features you want addressed, the degree of sagging present, and other unique details. Dr. Watts will go over all of this with you at an initial consultation, where she will help you decide what areas to focus on and determine the best overall approach to getting you the result you want.
Lower body lift patients have their surgery with Dr. Watts at a private facility, where they will go under general anesthesia and wake up to a new perspective of themselves.
Dr. Watts works to camouflage incisions as best she can in the natural lines and folds of the lower body. Each incision gives her access to the internal tissues and structures, allowing her to pull skintight and suture it into place for a firmer feel and flatter appearance.
Because there are typically so many significant areas to work on, and because Dr. Watts takes great care to make the transition areas between various features as smooth and proportional as possible, the lower body lift procedure can take about four to six hours.
After being driven home, patients should refrain from work and physical activity for about two to three weeks. Giving your body the time and space to truly heal is one of the best things you can do for your long-term results.
While lower body surgery focuses on the lower half of the body, an upper body lift addresses loose folds of skin on the chest and back. A breast lift specifically elevates sagging breasts, while an arm lift aims to correct laxity on the upper arms.
Patients seeking breast surgery to complement their upper or lower body lift results may consider an augmentation and lift to add volume while repositioning the nipple and elevating the breasts. A breast reduction can also help to counter sagging by reducing volume and minimizing the constant downward pull of gravity on the breasts, while simultaneously lifting and tightening the breast tissue.
