Body Lift

Individuals who have lost a dramatic amount of weight through bariatric surgery, diet and exercise, or after pregnancy may have excess loose skin on their lower body extending from the front abdominal area all the way into the back. Even though they have lost a substantial amount of weight, these people may still find it difficult to fit into the smaller clothes they want to wear due to the sagging skin, or they find that the excess skin causes chafing and discomfort.

The Body Lift Procedure

Depending on the patient's ultimate cosmetic goals, total body lift contouring can be customized to each patient to address excess skin and fat on the abdomen and the back. During the body lift procedure, the surgeon creates incisions on the targeted areas of the body that are mostly hidden below the pant line. The surgeon then also suctions out extra fat and pulls the muscles together for a more contoured appearance. Next, the skin is pulled taut and excess skin is removed. To complete the body lift, the incisions are sutured shut in multiple layers and the patient is fitted with a compression garment to facilitate healing.
