Reshape, Restore, Rejuvenate – Tighten and Sculpt the Lower Body
Significant weight loss, aging, or genetics can lead to sagging skin, tissue, and fat in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, hips, and waist. For patients with loose skin and soft tissue laxity across multiple areas, a body lift offers a transformative solution that improves overall body contour and tightness.
This comprehensive procedure removes excess skin and repositions tissue for a smoother, firmer, more youthful figure.
Who Is a Candidate for Body Lift Surgery?
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
-
Have excess skin or soft tissue laxity in multiple areas of your lower body
-
Are in good general health and maintain a stable weight
-
Are committed to a healthy lifestyle
-
Are a non-smoker or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
-
Have realistic expectations and understand that a body lift is not a weight loss procedure
This surgery is ideal for patients post-weight loss or those with significant skin sagging due to age or genetics.
How Is Body Lift Surgery Performed?
A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. It typically includes the following steps:
-
A circumferential incision is made around the lower torso (along the bikini line)
-
Skin and tissues in the abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks, groin, and thighs are lifted and tightened
-
Liposuction may be used for additional contouring, depending on fat distribution
-
Drain tubes are placed, and the incision sites are closed and bandaged
This procedure can also be combined with a thigh lift, tummy tuck, or Brazilian Butt Lift for more comprehensive correction.
What Is Recovery Like After Body Lift Surgery?
Recovery is personalized, but most patients can expect:
-
Moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort in treated areas
-
One to two weeks of rest is recommended
-
Four to six weeks before returning to full physical activity
-
Detailed post-op care instructions will be provided to support healing and minimize scarring
-
Avoid pressure on incision sites during early recovery
Pain can be managed with prescription or over-the-counter medications. Following care guidelines is crucial for optimal scar healing and results.
What Results Can I Expect from a Body Lift?
Results from a body lift are visible immediately, with continued improvement as swelling subsides over the following months. You can expect:
-
A flatter, firmer abdomen
-
Lifted buttocks and smoother thighs
-
A more defined, sculpted silhouette
Although some scarring is inevitable, surgeons position incisions discreetly, and scars typically fade over time. With a healthy lifestyle and weight maintenance, your body lift results can last for many years.
