Body Lift
What Is Body Lift Surgery?
The goal of a body lift is to remove and tighten the extra skin, commonly done after significant weight reduction.
It is also used to tighten sagging skin caused by pregnancy or aging. The areas treated are the hips, outer upper thighs, lower abdomen, and upper buttocks.
Techniques comparable to a stomach tuck are used to decrease the lower abdomen. The navel is kept and relocated, and extra skin from the lower abdomen is excised and brought down to be stitched along the lower fold. A body lift can also remove skin and fat while tightening the thighs, hips, and buttocks.
Why Get Body Lift Surgery?
Patients who have lost a lot of weight are typically left with several pounds of excess skin. This excess skin can make movement and exercise uncomfortable. It can also look quite unsightly.
Uncomfortable excess skin can cause:
- Difficulty walking or exercising
- Poor posture
- Back and shoulder discomfort
- Infections and chronic rashes in the folds
- Personal hygiene concerns
- Self-esteem issues
Procedure
How Is Body Lift Surgery Performed?
The surgeon will inject a general anesthetic before the procedure starts, which will cause you to lose consciousness during the procedure. They will then conduct the body lift. You can choose between these types of body lift operations based on the amount of fat deposits.
Who Is A Good Candidate for Body Lift Surgery?
Body lift surgery might be a good option if:
- You have considerable soft tissue looseness in one or more places of your body.
- You are physically well, don’t smoke, and have no medical issues that might impede healing or raise your risk of complications.
- You have reasonable expectations of what body lift surgery can achieve.
