Circumferential body lift

A body lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Excess sagging fat and skin are removed and the procedure can improve the appearance of cellulite. A body lift includes the abdominal area, buttocks, groin, and thighs. By removing the loose excess skin that can make it difficult to fit clothes properly and even lead to skin irritation, our patients feel more comfortable and confident.

This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and may be done as an outpatient or with an overnight stay. Drains may be utilized to prevent fluid collections and are removed as soon as deemed appropriate. Compression garments are also recommended in the weeks following surgery and patients can return to strenuous exercise at about 6 weeks. You can expect some swelling, bruising and soreness immediately after surgery.
