If You've Lost 100 Pounds or More,
a Lower Body Lift Can Complete Your Transformation
A body lift from Dr. Sterry at his Manhattan office can be the finishing touch on the total body transformaiton that comes from losing 100 pounds or more. Basically, a lower body lift surgery is a tummy tuck + a butt lift + an outer thigh lift. When it comes to a body lift, New York men and women who have lost 100 pounds or more are hard pressed to find a more experienced surgeon to complete the transformation than Dr. Sterry.
After a massive weight loss, the most dramatic body contouring procedure you can get without multiple surgeries is this combination of a tummy tuck, outer thigh lift and butt lift. NYC patients can come to Dr. Sterry for this impressive surgical treatment and leave with the surgical equivalent of lifting your pants up from your hips to your waist. Essentially, this means the excess tissue left over from excess fat is raised and removed. When the excess tissue is removed from the back as well as the abdominal apron of loose skin known as the panniculus, the skin of the lower body is lifted from its sagging position.
Because a lower body lift is more extensive than a tummy tuck alone, it can produce a dramatic improvement in the hips, buttocks and outer thighs. Without the thigh and butt lift, New York patients would not get the total body transformation they're looking for.
A lower body lift that combines a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, with a butt lift and outer thigh lift is a plastic surgery procedure that produces dramatic results. A completely rejuvenated torso, thighs and buttock area where excess skin and fat once hung are replaced with a better-balanced and toned body. Anyone who has lost more than 100 pounds should seriously consider a lower body lift. Getting a tummy tuck without the thigh and butt lift simply won't achieve the same results. By treating the whole torso at the same time as one aesthetic unit like Dr. Sterry does, you can achieve the best results possible.

Patient testimonials
"Dr. Sterry is amazing. He performed a lower body lift on Nov. 14, 2005 and I am thrilled with the result. He will be doing a breast/arm lift on Feb. 3. I interviewed several of the top plastic surgeons in New York City when I decided to begin my plastics and there was NO comparison when it came to Dr. Sterry."

I have been asked many times if a tummy tuck scar would be made above or below a C-section scar. Patients seem to think that they will end up with two separate scars from the procedures. That's not how it works. The truth is that I routinely make my tummy tuck incisions below the C-section scars a read more »
