Body Lift
Healthy diet and exercise do not always produce a well-toned body. This is especially true as aging, sun damage, pregnancy, significant fluctuations of weight, and genetic factors act as barriers in the quest for a beautifully fit body.
A body lift is performed to effectively remove loose, sagging skin and excess fat from the body, as well as correct irregular contours. The amount of time in surgery depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of body lift(s) procedure you undergo and the extent of your condition. Some insurance plans may cover this procedure.
Q. There is loose skin all over my body! I recently underwent weight loss surgery and work out every day. Is a body lift the best way to go?
A. A surgical body lift gives patients who have lost a large amount of weight a more
desirable figure. This procedure is designed to improve the appearance of the arms, thighs, abdomen, and breasts. A firmer and more youthful-looking body is an attainable goal with the help of various body lift procedures; each designed specifically for areas of the body with poor tissue elasticity and hanging skin. Individuals considering this route should have:
• Significant soft tissue looseness in a specific area or multiple places
• A stable, healthy weight, which is reasonably proportionate to their height and body frame
• Realistic goals and expectations
• No medical conditions that could impair healing or increase risk associated with surgery
