Think there’s nothing more you can do about laxity, dimpling, and jiggling in your buttocks and upper thighs? Think again.

Perfected by Dr. Stoker throughout his career, this advanced approach dramatically improves the shape of the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks while keeping incisions discreetly hidden within the bikini line.

What Makes the Bikini Body Lift™ Unique?
Drawing from his experience performing thousands of post-weight-loss body contouring procedures, Dr. Stoker created the Bikini Body Lift™ to address the most common concerns he encounters at his plastic surgery practice: cellulite and skin laxity of the thighs and buttocks.
Here’s how Dr. Stoker’s approach redefines backside contouring:
- Aesthetic-focused design: The goal isn’t just skin removal, it’s total reshaping. Dr. Stoker pays close attention to curves, proportions, and silhouette.
- Hidden incisions: Dr. Stoker positions incisions so that most swimsuits and underwear easily conceal scars.
- 360° improvement: This procedure addresses the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks in a single, coordinated lift.
- Better buttock contouring: By lifting and repositioning tissue, Dr. Stoker achieves a rounder, perkier, more youthful-looking bottom—without implants or fat transfer.
- Custom approach: Every Bikini Body Lift™ is tailored to the patient’s unique body, goals, and anatomy.
Case 2416
This patient chose the Bikini Body Lift™ in Los Angeles to address concerns about skin laxity and contour irregularities following significant weight changes. Their main goals were a smoother abdomen, firmer thighs, and enhanced body proportions, with special attention to keeping surgical incisions concealed for comfort in swimwear. The patient previously underwent abdominoplasty, making their case more complex due to existing scar tissue and tightened skin.
The Dr. Stoker Difference
“Dr. Stoker and his fantastic team made me feel very comfortable asking a ton of questions, helping me get comfortable with the idea of doing this procedure… He is extremely skilled. My incisions were done evenly all the way around and very thin. This man is an artist!”

Case 2417
This patient chose to pursue a Bikini Body Lift™ in Los Angeles to address multiple areas of concern that could not be improved with weight loss or exercise alone. After significant lifestyle changes, she experienced loose skin on her abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back, and breasts. She hoped to achieve a smoother, more contoured silhouette and relieve discomfort caused by excess skin and persistent folds.
Your Procedure
What Happens During the Bikini Body Lift™?
Dr. Stoker performs the Bikini Body Lift™ at his fully accredited outpatient surgery center in Marina del Rey. The procedure typically takes several hours and is performed under general anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist selected by Dr. Stoker for your safety and comfort.
Incision Design Comes First
Before surgery begins, Dr. Stoker marks your skin with exacting care—often using your own bikini bottoms or lingerie as a guide. These markings determine where the 360° incision will be placed so that it stays hidden within the bikini line. This step is critical and entirely customized to your body and wardrobe preferences.
360° Lift With Internal Support
The surgery itself combines a tummy tuck, pubic lift, outer thigh lift, and buttocks lift into one coordinated procedure. Dr. Stoker removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and skin only around the remaining lower torso, then lifts and reshapes underlying tissues to restore youthful contours—especially in the buttocks, where he creates a rounder, perkier shape without the need for implants. Dr. Stoker stacks the deep tissues of the buttocks, almost as though he is pulling pants up from around the mid-thighs. He then secures this supplemental buttock projection with strong internal support.
Minimizing Tension, Minimizing Scars
Rather than pulling skin tight at the surface, Dr. Stoker uses hundreds of internal sutures to anchor lifted tissues from the inside out. This approach dramatically reduces tension on the skin's surface, which not only improves contour durability but also helps produce scars that are flatter, smoother, and less visible.
Refined Closure for a Traceless Result
After lifting and sculpting are complete, the incisions are closed in multiple layers to promote optimal healing. Dr. Stoker uses hundreds of sutures, ensuring every stitch is placed with scar refinement in mind. The result: firmer, smoother contours and incisions so well-concealed that you can feel confident wearing a bikini.
Lasting Scar Refinement
Our commitment to your results doesn't end when your incisions heal. We carefully monitor your healing progress and provide personalized treatments to optimize the appearance of your scar. This attentive, proactive approach helps ensure your scar remains flat and thin for exceptional long-term results.
Case 2418
This patient, a 56-year-old woman, chose to undergo the Bikini Body Lift™ in Los Angeles after losing 160 pounds. She sought improvement in the lower body contour, especially after noticing concerns with previous scarring and loose skin. Despite her petite frame, the magnitude of her weight loss led to significant excess skin from the abdomen down to the knees. The above photos show her progress just five days after surgery. Mild bruising and temporary gown marks are visible, but the incisions remain well concealed. The taped dressing will stay in place for several weeks to promote optimal healing.
Are You a Candidate for the Bikini Body Lift™?
Women or men who benefit most from the Bikini Body Lift™ often have a history that includes one or more of the following:
- Hormonal changes or menopause
- Sun damage
- Pregnancy
- Massive weight loss
- Modest weight loss or weight fluctuations
- Natural aging
- Genetic predisposition for cellulite or skin laxity
- Suboptimal scars or contour irregularities from previous surgery of the thighs, buttocks, or abdomen
- Cellulite or contour irregularities following plastic surgery of the lower body for both men and women
If you’ve worked hard to maintain your fitness but still don’t feel confident in a swimsuit, the Bikini Body Lift™ will help you achieve the confidence and freedom that comes with a sculpted, balanced figure.
Case 2419
After experiencing dramatic weight loss, this 59-year-old patient from Los Angeles was left frustrated with extreme skin wrinkling on her buttocks, thighs, and abdomen as a result of previous liposuction procedures that didn't account for her skin elasticity. She then embarked on a search for a skillful plastic surgeon who could successfully perform a body lift in Los Angeles that would holistically treat her areas of concern. This diligent research brought her to Stoker Plastic Surgery, where she opted for a comprehensive approach to body contouring— a technique known as the 360-degree circumferential lower body lift.
What About Men?
Even though the Bikini Body Lift™ name suggests the procedure is designed exclusively for women, men can also benefit. If you’re a man seeking a more sculpted, athletic lower body, the procedure offers a powerful solution that goes far beyond traditional techniques.
Dr. Stoker customizes the technique to suit each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, regardless of gender. For men, the focus includes:
- Lifting and tightening the outer thighs
- Refining the waistline and removing abdominal skin laxity
- Improving the contours of the buttocks by redistributing the buttocks’ volume and smoothing skin folds
- Lifting and smoothing the mons pubis area to improve the appearance of the genitalia
How Much Does the Bikini Body Lift™ Cost?
Because the Bikini Body Lift™ is an advanced and customized procedure performed exclusively by Dr. Stoker, the cost reflects the exceptional expertise, planning, precision, resources, and time required. The investment for this one-of-a-kind transformation typically starts at $100,000 or more.
This is the new standard in body lifting procedures. The Bikini Body Lift™ is unlike anything else offered in the world, requiring an elite combination of technical mastery and aesthetic artistry. From the discreet placement of incisions to the comprehensive reshaping of the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, Dr. Stoker personally handles every detail to achieve the remarkable, natural-looking results you see in the before-and-after photos.
You’ve reached a point in your life where you can have anything you want—including the priceless confidence that comes with feeling comfortable with your appearance. When you review our pictures and videos of the Bikini Bottom Lift™, the evidence is overwhelming. Why settle for less dramatic or beautiful results than what you see in our before-and-after photos?
Recovery: What You Can Expect
The recovery process is an essential part of your Bikini Body Lift™ journey, and Dr. Stoker has developed comprehensive postoperative protocols to ensure you heal comfortably and achieve the best possible outcome. His experienced team will guide you every step of the way—from preparing for surgery to monitoring your progress months afterward.
Before your procedure, our nurses will review everything you need to know about recovery and answer any questions you may have. After surgery, you’ll have ongoing access to our team for support and reassurance. Dr. Stoker is known for building long-term relationships with his patients, and your care will continue well beyond your final follow-up.
Recovery Timeline
- Downtime is moderate. Most patients are walking within hours of surgery and can return to light daily activities within 2 weeks.
- Full recovery typically takes 2 to 3 months, depending on your body’s natural healing response.
- Mild to moderate soreness and swelling are common during the first several days and can be managed with medication and proper rest.
- A supportive compression garment will help control swelling and support your new contours as you heal.
- When you travel to our practice for a Bikini Body Lift™, you should plan to remain in the area for at least a week following surgery.
As healing progresses, you’ll gradually return to your regular routine, including exercise, once Dr. Stoker clears you to ramp up your activity level. You’ll notice immediate improvements in your shape and skin tone, with results continuing to improve over time.
