Body Lift

Good candidates for a body lift are individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, resulting in loose, sagging skin and tissue. Candidates should be in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcome. It's essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if a body lift is the right option for you.

While a body lift can provide long-lasting results, the aging process and fluctuations in weight can affect the outcome over time. However, by maintaining a stable weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet, patients can prolong the results of their body lift and enjoy their enhanced appearance for years.

Like any surgical procedure, a body lift carries some risks and potential complications, including infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, asymmetry, and changes in skin sensation. However, serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon in an accredited facility. It's essential to discuss potential risks and complications with your surgeon before undergoing a body lift.

The recovery process after a body lift varies from patient to patient but generally involves discomfort, swelling, and bruising, particularly in the first few weeks. Patients are advised to take prescribed pain medication, wear compression garments, and avoid strenuous activities during the initial recovery period. Complete recovery may take several weeks to months, depending on individual healing and the extent of the procedure.

The cost of a body lift varies depending on factors such as the surgeon's experience, geographic location, and the extent of the procedure. It typically includes surgeon's, anesthesia, facility, and post-operative care fees. During a consultation, your surgeon can provide a personalized quote based on your needs and goals.
