The body lift for massive weight loss is part of a general area in plastic surgery called body contouring. It is very important to evaluate if you are a candidate for the operation or whether a tummy tuck, liposuction, thigh lift, or other procedure is the right one for you. We have had much success with the body lift, but it is vital to understand the operation and to determine if it is right for you.

The body lift is an integrated operation to remove large amounts of skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and back. This is an operation designed mainly for men or women who have lost large amounts of weight and are left with saggy and unsightly skin of the abdomen, buttock, thighs, and hips. Following surgery, one can expect to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days. Sometimes breasts and arms can be combined with the lower body lift, but most often these areas are addressed at a separate operation.
