Body Lift

Sometimes enjoying the rewards of hard-earned weight-loss can be undermined by remaining sagging, hanging skin. The hanging skin can make it difficult to maintain hygiene, find fitting clothing and can make activities like sitting down or standing up difficult if not embarrassing. A "lifting" of the entire trunk (abdomen, flanks, and back) and sometimes of the buttocks and thighs can smooth the body to its new shape and eliminate the remnants of the past. Excessive skin, fat and loose tissues are removed, and the contour is improved by "lifting and tightening" in an even, circumferential fashion.

While this procedure is generally a more extensive procedure than others it often brings the patient great rewards and a sense that their weight loss is complete.

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, includes at least a short hospital stay, and a more involved recovery period than other standard body contouring procedures.
