What is a Body Lift?
A body lift, also known as a circumferential body lift or lower body lift, is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the mid and lower body by removing excess skin and fat.
This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, hanging skin around their abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Benefits of Body Lift
Targets multiple areas including the abdomen, back, hips, and thighs.
Removes excess skin, resulting in a smoother, more toned appearance.
Reduces skin irritation and improves mobility by eliminating hanging skin.
Provides a significant improvement in body shape and appearance.

Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and have stable weight for six to twelve months.

Recovery Process
- Initial Recovery: Expect some swelling and discomfort. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage pain.
- Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities and bending at the waist for the first few weeks. Light walking is encouraged to prevent blood clots.
- Compression Garment: Wear a compression garment for around six weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.
- Follow-Up Care: Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor progress and remove any surgical drains.
