Contact UsOverview
Sometimes referred to as a Body Lift 360, the lower body lift by Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons is a combination of procedures performed by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Tsujimura, that removes excess skin from the lower abdomen, hips, lower back and buttocks. The results of a lower body lift include a tighter, more contoured thigh area and decreased irregularities in the skin surface. The buttock, thigh, and lower body lift is typically performed in our Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons facility or can be scheduled at a facility with overnight observation. Techniques vary depending on the needs of the patient. Incisions are placed as inconspicuously as possible. For some, it marks a final step in their transformation towards a new, beautiful figure.
Surgical Technique
During a lower body lift, an incision is made similar to a tummy-tuck then continued around the body. Through these incisions, excess fat pockets will be removed using liposuction and the underlying tissue and muscle will be pulled tight. An experienced surgeon will make every attempt to trim away as much loose skin as possible, while protecting the incision area to minimize scarring. There are also other specialized techniques designed to produce volume in the buttocks and at the same time lift and tighten this area.

Rhinoplasty - Scottsdale, AZ - I couldn't be happier with my new nose.I hated my nose for as long as I can remember, when I looked in the mirror or at pictures of myself that's all I saw. The first time I met with Dr.Holden he pin pointed my exact issues with my nose with out my having to tell him. He was very kind and patient and answered all of my questions. While talking to him it was obvious he knew what he was talking about and was an expert in his field. I felt so comfortable and confident with him that I canceled my other consultes (with another surgon I used in the past) and scheduled by surgery for the next week. Dr.Holden also saw me at every one of my follow up appointments, not some nurse, which was very important to me and helped with my post surgery anxiety. With being 34 years old and a mother of 3 it was very important to me for my new nose to look natural. It does. I am thrilled when I look in the mirror and the people close to me have all remarked how wonderful it looks. While people that I haven't shared my surgery haven't noticed or at least not enough to say "oh my gosh you got a nose job!" I still look like me. :)
Just love this office! Serious the best staff ever and Dr. Ryan Tsujimura is AMAZING! He makes you feel so comfortable & confident! I’ve referred several of my friends and they’ve also had WONDERFUL experiences.
Dr Holden is Amazing. Definitely Book a Consultation. - Dr Holden preformed my rhinoplasty and is now one of my favorite people. He is truly a caring, compassionate and extremely talented physician. I have medical background and within minutes of meeting Dr Holden, could tell how incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable he is. The day of my surgery I was very nervous and he literally held my hand and talked everything through with me. My nose has turned out so beautifully and I will definitely post pictures when my swelling subsides a bit. I could not be happier!
If you are looking for the best, look no further! I came upon Dr. Paul Holden by word of mouth from a past patient. The idea of finding a facial plastic surgeon through an online search alone was daunting and I am incredibly grateful for this referral. I give Dr. Paul Holden and his staff a 10/10 (and I am a tough critic!). Everyone in the office and operating room was supportive, available to answer any and all questions, put my mind at ease and made me feel confident in my decision to move forward with an elective surgery. Might I add, I did my consultation via phone and did not meet Dr. Holden until the day of surgery. The downtime involved as compared the result that I received made it completely worthwhile. I am just two weeks post-op and could not possibly be any happier with the entire experience. I had an in person consultation with another surgeon who told me to come see him in 10 years for the procedure. Why would I want to spend my 40's not looking the best I could? Dr. Holden is kind, intelligent, personable and a very talented surgeon. He is well respected and admired by his staff. A testament to the type of person Dr. Holden is: Three days after my surgery my five year old son had an accident and required stitches on his face and inside his mouth. I went out on a limb and called the office to see if he could stitch he him up rather than going to the ER. One hour later I was in his office getting my little guy all fixed up. He was booked with back to back appointments yet he spent nearly an hour stitching my son's face up perfectly. Two weeks later he has only a light pink scar. I can't imagine what the result may have been had I gone to the emergency room.

During/After Surgery
Lower body lift surgeries can be performed under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) in our surgical facility. The duration of the surgery depends on how many procedures are performed and to what extent. It is common for a surgery of this nature to take 6-8 hours or longer. The recovery can be prolonged. Some patients will be required to spend a couple of nights in an overnight stay facility. It could take 2 weeks or longer before work and normal activities can resume. A lower body lift can create a natural shape and a leaner, more toned figure and eliminate skin laxity. Patients who adhere to a healthy lifestyle can enjoy their surgical results for years.

About UsLower Body Lift FAQs
How Bad is the Scarring?
While this procedure produces great results, scarring is inevitable. However, every effort is made to hide incisions and leave a thin scar line. These incisions are also created low to follow the natural bikini line and keep them hidden if a bathing suit is worn. The scars will continue to heal and fade over time. Most patients feel their sleeker, tighter body outweighs the scarring.
Is This Surgery Painful?
Because of the extent of this procedure, patients may feel discomfort during the recovery process. They are given pain medications and a “pain pump”. For more extensive procedures, they may be required to stay in an overnight care unit.
Best Time for Surgery?
Individuals contemplating a lower body lift will need to be at or near their goal weight and stable. If they anticipate losing a significant amount of weight, this needs to happen first. Once the weight has been lost, a physical will be required to ensure the body has stabilized enough to endure surgery.
