During a body lift, excess fat and skin are removed from targeted areas of the frame. A combination of several lift procedures, body lift surgery becomes necessary when a single option, such as a thigh lift, would not be sufficient for ideal results. This is often the case following bariatric surgery or other forms of rapid weight loss during which the skin does not have time to shrink.
Significant weight loss often leaves behind loose and sagging skin. This can produce a bulky and uneven appearance. It can also impact clothing options, reduce range of motion, and obscure your weight loss results. Body lift surgery eliminates these collections of unnecessary skin to reveal the musculature and definition hiding beneath.
In addition to excess skin, rapid weight loss may fail to eliminate all fat deposits. Some, particularly those in areas like the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs, where stubborn collections of fat may hang on long after surrounding areas have thinned, can result in lumpy, dimpled, and jiggly areas throughout the body. During a body lift, these fat deposits are removed, highlighting the underlying shape of the frame. This can help to finalize your weight loss efforts and create a look that is much more emotionally and physically comfortable.
