Body Lift

The total body lift is for patients who have lost a great deal of weight and now have excess skin on their abdomen, legs, and back, even on the buttocks. The majority of body lift patients have had gastric bypass surgery to help them lose weight.

The body lift acts first like a tummy tuck, removing the overhanging skin and tightening the abdomen. Next, it pulls upward on your outer thighs, improving the appearance of the entire leg. On the back, it gets rid of the one or two back creases that may be present on each side. Finally, it pulls up a sagging butt, making the entire posterior younger and sexier. The incision for this procedure circles the waist. Liposuction is performed at the same time to maximize the amount of skin that can be removed. This procedure takes hours to successfully perform and requires that you stay overnight in the hospital. The result, however, is a massive rejuvenation of your body.
