What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to improve the shape and tone of the body by removing excess skin and fat from various areas, including the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced massive weight loss or have loose, sagging skin due to aging or pregnancy.

Surgical body lifting improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Excess sagging fat and skin is removed to treat conditions caused in part by poor tissue elasticity. In addition, a body lift can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, commonly known as cellulite. Body lifts are not intended strictly for the removal of excess fat. Liposuction alone can remove excess fat deposits where skin has good elasticity and is able to naturally conform to new body contours. In cases where skin elasticity is poor, a combination of liposuction and body lift techniques may be recommended.

Benefits of a Body Lift

• Enhanced Contours: Achieve a smoother, more toned appearance by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues.
• Improved Comfort: Eliminate the discomfort and hygiene issues associated with excess, sagging skin.
• Boosted Confidence: Feel more comfortable and confident in your clothes and overall appearance.
• Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy the lasting benefits of a more sculpted body when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Body lifting procedures may be appropriate for

• individuals who are of stable weight that is reasonably
• proportionate to their height and body frame. In addition, it is recommended that women considering future pregnancies
• postpone an abdominal body lift since pregnancy may diminish results. Body lift procedures may be performed on adults of any age who have realistic goals in mind for improvement of their body contour.

Good candidates are:

* Individuals with significant soft tissue looseness in one or multiple body areas
* Healthy individuals who do not have medical conditions that an impair healing or increase risk of surgery
* Non-smokers
* Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring.
