What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the look of sagging skin by altering the underlying tissue. During the procedure, excess skin is removed from around the body. A belt lipectomy involves incisions that are made in the location where the skin is to be removed. Fortunately, they can usually be strategically placed so as to be less noticeable. This procedure can also improve skin surface by removing dimpled or irregular segments.

Body lifts target:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Thighs

Significant fluctuations in weight, sun damage, pregnancy, and a genetic predisposition to poor tissue elasticity are all predisposing factors for sagging skin in the area of the abdomen, buttocks and thighs, especially around the midsection. A body lift is an effective solution to tighten and improve the appearance of the redundant skin in these locations.

A body lift does NOT remove excess fat. If your skin has good elasticity and you simply wish to remove pockets of fat, liposuction may be a preferable option should you have good skin elasticity and simply wish to remove focal pockets of fat. However, the two procedures may be recommended in conjunction with each other in order to achieve optimal aesthetic results*.

Good candidates:

• Significant amount of loose skin in one or more parts of the body
• Non smoker
• Committed to a healthy lifestyle
