Understanding Body Contouring After Major Weight Loss

Body lift surgery is a comprehensive body contouring procedure designed to address excess skin and fat that remains after significant weight loss. This transformative surgical approach targets multiple body areas where skin has lost elasticity and appears saggy or redundant.

Target Areas for Body Lift Surgery

Body lift procedures typically focus on key regions where skin laxity is most pronounced, including:

• Face and neck
• Upper arms
• Breast area
• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Thighs

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift

Patients considering a body lift should have achieved their optimal weight through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery. Candidates must maintain a stable weight and have significant excess skin that impacts their body contour and self-confidence.

Surgical Approach and Staging

Body lift procedures are often complex and may require multiple surgical stages. The specific approach depends on individual patient factors and the extent of skin removal needed. Surgeons typically space these stages over weeks to months to ensure patient safety and optimal healing.
