Body Lift
What is a Body Lift procedure?Those who suffer from the effects of obesity often experience a loss in skin elasticity due to prolonged periods of stretching from the increased volume of weight as it develops.
Body Lift Surgery is an effective surgical solution for anyone who has lost a large amount of weight and is left with excess skin on his or her face, breasts, back, abdomen, trunk or thighs.
Body Lift surgery is considered radical cosmetic surgery, which unfortunately always leads to surgical incisions and scarring. The severity of scarring depends on the amount and location of the excess skin that is removed. For a full Body Lift, long scars will remain on the inside of the legs, around the thighs, underneath the arms, across the lower stomach, on the breasts and possibly along the lower back and hips. However, whichever combination of procedures is selected, every effort will be made to insure that the incisions are placed in such a way that the resulting scars will be as inconspicuous as possible. Who will benefit from a Body Lift?- Men and women who develop excessive loose skin on their body that will not respond to normal diet or exercise, typically seen in ccandidates who have achieved large volume weight loss.
- Men and Women who loose skin elasticity following significant weight loss following Bariatric Surgery, such as gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding or intestinal bypass surgery. For more detailed information on these procedures, please click the following link on Bariatric Surgery.
- Women who loose skin elasticity following large or multiple pregnancies.
How is a Body Lift procedure performed?
