Refining the lower back and flanks by removing excess skin, often as part of body contouring after weight loss.


A lower back lift removes excess skin and fat from the lower back and flanks, refining the contour around the waist. It is often part of wider body contouring after significant weight loss and can be combined with liposuction.
Scars are placed low so that clothing can help conceal them. Where laxity is circumferential, a posterior or lower body lift may be more appropriate, which your surgeon will advise on.
It is not a weight-loss procedure and does not address the front of the abdomen on its own, which may need separate surgery.
You will receive individualized preparation guidance. Whether a localized lower back lift or a wider circumferential procedure suits you is discussed at consultation.
Excess skin and fat are removed from the lower back and flanks and the remaining skin is redraped, with liposuction used where helpful. Incisions are placed low to aid concealment.
Swelling and tightness are expected. A compression garment is worn as advised, and activity is increased gradually under guidance.
A smoother lower back and refined waist are achievable. The scar is permanent and can widen, and significant weight change can alter the result.
All surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
Smoking and impaired circulation raise the risk of healing problems and wound complications, so honest assessment and smoking cessation are essential.
Body contouring at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon. His reconstructive background gives him a detailed command of anatomy, blood supply, and tissue handling, which is the foundation for safe contouring and natural proportions.
Dr. Amoroso plans every procedure around your proportions rather than maximum change. The aim is a balanced, natural shape that suits your frame and moves naturally, planned with restraint so the result looks like you at your best.
Choosing a surgeon is personal, and the relationship should rest on open communication and trust. From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand what is realistic, which approach suits you, and whether surgery is the right option at all.
Every procedure begins with a detailed assessment. We evaluate:
