Achieving a toned, sculpted body can be challenging, even with dedication to a healthy lifestyle. A body lift can be a transformative solution for individuals dealing with excess skin and sagging tissue after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. This comprehensive surgical procedure removes loose skin, tightens underlying tissues, and restores your body’s contours for a smoother appearance. Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. David Bogue specializes in customized body lift procedures to help you achieve the shape and confidence you deserve.
What Is a Body Lift?
A body lift removes excess skin and improves the tone of the underlying tissue. This treatment is particularly popular among individuals who have lost significant weight and are left with loose, sagging skin that cannot be corrected with diet and exercise alone.
Common areas treated with a body lift include:
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Thighs
- Buttocks
In some cases, a body lift may be combined with liposuction to address stubborn fat deposits, further enhancing the results.
Am I a Candidate for a Body Lift?
You may be a good candidate for a body lift if you:
- Have loose, sagging skin due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.
- Are at or near your target weight.
- Are in good overall health and do not smoke.
- Have realistic expectations about results.
What to Expect During the Body Lift Procedure
During surgery, you will be under general anesthesia. Dr. Bogue removes excess skin, tightens the underlying tissue, and repositions the remaining skin for a smoother contour. He carefully places incisions in locations that can be concealed by clothing or swimsuits.
After the procedure, patients may have some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which is manageable with medication. Most individuals can return to light activities within two weeks and resume more strenuous activities after six to eight weeks.
Benefits of a Body Lift
A body lift provides both physical and emotional benefits, including:
- Enhanced Contours:Â A smoother, firmer shape in targeted areas.
- Improved Comfort:Â Reduced chafing and discomfort caused by excess skin.
- Increased Confidence:Â The ability to wear fitted clothing and enjoy your appearance.
Many patients find that a body lift is the final step in their weight loss or fitness journey, allowing them to embrace their transformation fully.
