Lower Body Lift / Belt Lipectomy Case 137

This patient chose to pursue a Lower Body Lift in Boston after achieving significant weight loss with the support of Zepbound. Despite her success in weight reduction, she experienced persistent excess skin and soft tissue around the lower torso and upper thighs. These changes affected not only her physical appearance but also her daily comfort and clothing choices. The patient was in good health and sought a lasting contouring solution to better match her new weight and lifestyle.

Dr. Dax Guenther performed a circumferential lower body lifting procedure, carefully planning each step with patient safety as the main priority. The patient stayed overnight after surgery to allow for professional monitoring and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Dr. Guenther integrated an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol. This included administering Exparel, a long-lasting local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort and limit the need for narcotic pain medications.

Following her Lower Body Lift in Boston, this patient saw a significant reduction in excess abdominal and flank skin. She experienced improved waistline contour and reported enhanced confidence in clothing. Recovery was uncomplicated, and the patient returned to regular activities as advised by Dr. Guenther.

Dr. Guenther is board-certified in both general and plastic surgery and brings a detail-oriented approach to body contouring procedures. He performs Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy) procedures at Coastal Plastic Surgery in Hingham, Massachusetts, prioritizing individualized care and outcomes for each patient.
