Yes, in most cases, a lower body lift includes a pubic lift. The pubic region is often overlooked in discussions about body contouring, yet it can significantly impact both appearance and comfort. For many patients, particularly those who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or age-related skin laxity, concerns extend beyond loose abdominal skin.
The pubic area can also become enlarged, descended, or stretched, creating discomfort and affecting how clothing fits. Addressing this area can be an important part of achieving a truly complete result.
What Is a Lower Body Lift?
A lower body lift is one of the most comprehensive body contouring procedures available. Traditionally, it involves removing excess skin and tightening tissues around the entire lower torso, including the abdomen, hips, flanks, outer thighs, and buttocks.

The Bikini Body Lift™: A Game-Changing Technique
My Bikini Body Lift™ represents an extraordinary advance in body contouring. Unlike traditional lower body lift procedures that focus primarily on removing excess skin, the Bikini Body Lift™ is designed to reshape the entire lower torso, emphasizing attractive, natural-looking contours.
The procedure combines strategic tissue repositioning, waistline enhancement, buttock shaping, and comprehensive contour refinement while placing scars low enough to be concealed by most swimwear. Because I take a holistic approach, I frequently evaluate whether improvement of the pubic area is indicated as part of the overall surgical plan. In many cases, addressing this area contributes significantly to the ultimate result.
Rather than simply tightening skin, I’m creating balance between the waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, lower abdomen, and pubic region. That’s what gives the outcome a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The procedure is especially popular among patients who have lost substantial weight and are left with loose, hanging skin that cannot be improved with diet and exercise alone.
By treating the body circumferentially, a lower body lift can improve:
- Excess skin around the waistline
- Sagging buttocks
- Hip and flank laxity
- Outer thigh drooping
- Abdominal skin redundancy
- The appearance of cellulite
The result is a smoother, firmer, and more proportionate lower body contour.
In many cases, when I lift and tighten the lower abdomen, there is some degree of improvement in the pubic area simply because the tissues are connected. However, patients with more significant laxity often benefit from a dedicated pubic lift performed at the same time.
This is where individualized planning becomes so important.
My Philosophy: Treat the Entire Aesthetic Unit
One of the biggest mistakes I see in body contouring is focusing on a single area while ignoring the surrounding structures.
The body doesn’t work that way.
When I evaluate a patient for a lower body lift, Bikini Body Lift™, tummy tuck, or post-weight-loss procedure, I’m looking at how every contour relates to the next. A beautifully tightened abdomen can still look incomplete if the pubic area remains descended. Similarly, improving the waistline without addressing buttock position may leave unrealized opportunities for improvement.
My goal is to create harmony.
That often means developing a comprehensive surgical plan that addresses multiple concerns either at the same time or in staged surgeries.
When a Pubic Lift Is Included
Patients are often surprised to learn that a pubic lift can dramatically improve their overall result.
A pubic lift may be recommended when there is:
- Excess skin in the pubic area
- A descended or sagging pubic mound
- Fullness that creates visible bulging in clothing
- Asymmetry or contour irregularities
- Changes following pregnancy or major weight loss
The procedure elevates and reshapes the pubic region, creating a smoother transition between the abdomen and lower body.
For many patients, this improvement enhances not only aesthetics but also comfort, confidence, and clothing fit.
Why Comprehensive Planning Matters
One of the reasons patients travel to see me from across the country and around the world is my commitment to comprehensive treatment planning. During your consultation, we discuss not only your primary concern but also the factors that may affect your final outcome.
Sometimes patients arrive focused entirely on loose abdominal skin. After a thorough examination, we may discover that additional improvements to the waistline, buttocks, thighs, or pubic area would significantly enhance the result.
This isn’t about doing more surgery than necessary. It’s about making thoughtful recommendations that help patients achieve their goals as completely as possible.
Seeing the Difference in Before-and-After Photos
Body contouring is highly visual, which is why I encourage prospective patients to spend time reviewing before-and-after photos.
Over the course of my career, I have accumulated hundreds of before-and-after images showcasing a wide range of body contouring procedures, including Bikini Body Lift™ procedures, lower body lifts, tummy tucks, pubic lifts, and post-weight-loss transformations.
These photos help patients understand what’s possible and demonstrate how addressing multiple areas together can yield a more balanced, natural-looking outcome.
Many patients are surprised to see how seemingly small details—such as improving the pubic area—can contribute to the overall result.
