Body Lift Before and After

Ideal candidates for a body lift

Your surgeon will recommend the procedure if:

• You are not allergic to any form of anaesthetic.
• You don’t have a bleeding disorder.
• You don’t have any skin infections.
• You don’t smoke.
• You have a stable weight.
• You have body odour due to an increased amount of moisture trapped in your excess skin.
• You have fear of intimacy due to your current body appearance.
• You have low self-esteem due to embarrassing folds of excess skin.
• You have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
• You have sagging or hanging skin in one or multiple body areas.

Benefits of a body lift

The procedure offers the following benefits:

• Improves your body appearance
• Treats skin irritation
• Allows you to wear smaller clothing sizes
• Improves your self-esteem
• Improves your quality of life

The procedure

The procedure is done under general anaesthesia to prevent any discomfort. Once the area is numb, your surgeon will make an incision in your waist. The incision technique will depend on the amount and location of your excess skin. Your surgeon will then remove the excess skin around your abdomen to reshape the area. Depending on your condition and desired results, your surgeon may use liposuction and body lift procedures to treat other areas such as your buttocks, hips, and thighs. Your surgeon will use sutures in the deeper layers of your skin to maintain the appearance of the treated area. To achieve optimal results, you may need to undergo several surgeries.

Surgery limitations

It is important to keep in mind that the results of your procedure are likely to be impacted by weight gain. Therefore, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle after your surgery.
