Body Lift Surgery
This is a fast growing area of cosmetic surgery as more and more people have weight loss surgery. For most people, the skin has been so stretched that exercise can not reduce it and the patient is usually left with lots of stretched, hanging skin.
Following massive weight loss the upper arms may sag, breasts may droop with the nipples pointing downward, the tummy may overhang and the buttocks and thighs may sag and cause hanging pockets of skin. Body lift surgery aims to improve the shape and tone of your underlying tissue that supports the fat and skin and remove excess fat and skin.
It is important that weight loss has stabilised as results will be affected if you either continue to lose weight or put any back on.
Body lift surgery can compromise a lower body lift or belt lipectomy (tummy tuck, thigh lift, buttock lift), breast lift and arm lift.
