Body Lift

This is an extensive abdominoplasty with the incision going right around to the back. It not only tightens the abdomen but significantly removes “love handles” and “saddle bags” while giving lift to the buttocks. This procedure can give enhanced core shape immediately.

The best candidate for a body lift has had stable weight for at least three months, but often six months to a year, and should be participating in a healthy exercise and dietary program. Candidates who have had gastric bypass, Lap-bad, or other gastric restrictive procedures should wait until at least one year after weight loss surgery so that the common health problems associated with obesity have had time to improve. Patients in this category often require plastic surgery on several areas of the body, including the stomach, thighs, flank, breast, arms, and face.
