My body lift

Your body lift will be individualized to your specific conditions and the regions to be treated. Conditions that may be improved by a body lift include:

• Dimpled or uneven soft tissue (cellulite)
• Lax, loose skin
• Excess fat and tissue
• Sagging body contours
  

Many conditions can contribute to tissue that is weak and lacking in tone or firmness, and to uneven or sagging body contours. These most commonly include:

• Weight changes, especially substantial weight loss, such as occurs following gastric bypass surgery
• Stress on the skin and underlying tissue that may result from pregnancy
• The natural aging process causing skin and tissue to lose elasticity and tone over time
• Sun damage and other environmental factors that contribute to premature aging of the skin
• Heredity or the genetic make-up that determines one’s body type and skin qualities including cellulite
• Childhood and teenage obesity resulting in premature loss of youthful skin tone
  

There is no other method of body contouring that can restore body shape, skin appearance, and skin tone as effectively as a body lift. Body lifts are surgical procedures and they require incisions; in some cases, incisions may be extensive. Incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed, as well as personal preference and surgical judgment. Advanced techniques usually allow incisions to be placed in strategic locations where they can be hidden by most types of clothing and swimsuits.

Other body contouring procedures may be performed separately or in the same session as a body lift, including liposuction and tummy tuck, breast lift, or male or female breast reduction. However, not all patients are good candidates for combined procedures. Your case will be evaluated on an individual basis.
