Body Lift

Also known as Belt Lipectomy

A body lift is a surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and tissue in multiple areas of the body, typically following significant weight loss. It is a comprehensive approach to contouring the body by removing excess skin and fat, tightening underlying tissues, and improving overall body shape and tone.

The best candidates for a body lift are individuals who:

  • Have undergone significant weight loss, resulting in loose, excess skin in multiple areas of the body.
  • Have excess skin due to pregnancy or aging that has not responded to diet and exercise.
  • Are in good overall health, with no underlying medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process.
  • Have reached a stable weight and are committed to maintaining their weight following the procedure.
  • Have realistic expectations for the results of the surgery.

  • Before the body lift procedure, the patient will have a thorough consultation with the plastic surgeon. The surgeon will assess the areas of concern, discuss the specific goals of the surgery, and create a personalized treatment plan.

    During the body lift procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from multiple areas of the body, which can include the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, and lower back. The remaining skin is tightened, and incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

    After the procedure, patients should expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and rest. The recovery period can vary based on the extent of the surgery and the individual's healing process. Patients should follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions, which may include wearing a compression garment and avoiding strenuous activities.

    The results of a body lift can be transformative, providing a more toned, contoured, and youthful appearance. Patients often experience improved body proportions, increased self-confidence, and the ability to fit into clothing more comfortably. The results are long-lasting, but it's essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to preserve the outcome.
