A circumferential lift of the back, flanks, buttocks, and outer thighs for patients with extensive laxity.


A posterior body lift addresses loose skin across the back half of the body, the lower back, flanks, buttocks, and outer thighs, in a single, coordinated procedure. It is chosen by patients with extensive skin laxity, usually after major weight loss.
It is major surgery with a long, circumferential scar across the back and a substantial recovery. It is often planned in stages with front-of-body procedures rather than performing everything at once.
It is not a weight-loss procedure, does not address the front of the body on its own, and cannot avoid significant scarring.
You will receive thorough preparation guidance, including measures to reduce blood-clot risk and confirmation that your weight and nutrition are stable. Staging with other procedures is planned at consultation.
Excess skin is removed circumferentially across the posterior body and the remaining tissue is redraped and lifted, refining the buttocks and outer thighs. A long scar is positioned to be concealed by clothing where possible.
Recovery is significant. Swelling, tightness, and limited mobility are expected early on, clot-prevention measures are followed, and activity is increased gradually over weeks under close guidance.
A substantial improvement in posterior contour is achievable for patients with major laxity. Scars are long and permanent, healing complications are more common than in smaller procedures, and weight change can alter the result.
This is major surgery and 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. Stable weight, good nutrition, early mobilization, and clot prevention are especially important for large body-lift procedures.
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:
