Lower Body Lift
in Ventura, CA
Dr. Pickart offers lower body lift surgery to the residents of Ventura, Camarillo, and the surrounding areas of California.
Many Americans have done what nobody thought was possible: They have lost a lot of weight. Yet, their suit of skin does not always shrink to fit their new body. For patients wishing to simultaneously improve the appearance of their abdomen, hips, and buttocks, Dr. Pickart specializes in lower body lifts.
How is a lower body lift performed in Ventura?
During your lower body lift procedure, excess fat is removed via liposuction, and loose or sagging skin is removed. The remaining skin is lifted, repaired, and tightened to give your lower body the best contoured shape possible. Incisions are then closed with resorbable sutures, and drains are used to control stretching and swelling.
This procedure is performed in two parts. The patient’s back and sides are addressed first, followed by their front. Additionally, a lower body lift can be performed in conjunction with an inner thigh lift.
What can I expect after a lower body lift in Ventura?
Surgical drains are placed beneath the incisions to remove fluid as it accumulates. Drains typically are removed during a follow-up appointment scheduled two to three weeks following the procedure. Compression garments may be placed on the patient to control swelling and smooth out the skin. Patients are encouraged to start walking on the night of surgery and resume normal activities four to six weeks after surgery.

Patient Reviews
“This place is amazing from the time you walk in until you leave! Dr. Pickard spent over an hour with me I am a challenging case. He did not sugarcoat anything but was so kind and had wonderful bedside manner in explaining the complicated procedures we will have to journey through. He knew I was Kaiser and I would be cash and said he could refer me to a surgeon in the Kaiser Bert work (basically taking money out of his pocket), he is not in this for the money he is in it to help. I told him I wanted to proceed with him because of his amazing reputation and meticulous detail. He was awesome and told me he wanted me to lose some weight before we proceeded for optimal outcome and for my health. Every other doctor I had consultations with before him wanted to proceed with surgery right away and took about 10 minutes with me and try to sell me things that I was not there for. I have to tell you I’ve had four surgeries and Dr. Pickard is the best doctor I have ever sat face-to-face with. He is worth the wait. I will be having surgery with him as soon as I lose 40 pounds and get my BMI down to a healthier surgery level. I will update after my surgery.” – Michele C.
