Understanding Body Lift Surgery in Northwest Indiana

Have you achieved significant weight loss and are now struggling with excess, hanging skin? A body lift surgery can help complete your transformative journey by removing stubborn skin and refining your body's contours.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and improve the underlying tissue structure after substantial weight loss. This procedure, also known as a "belt lipectomy", addresses multiple areas simultaneously to create a smoother, more toned appearance.

Areas Typically Addressed in a Body Lift

• Abdominal area
• Flanks
• Lower back
• Pubic area
• Buttocks

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift Surgery

Body lift candidates generally include:

• Individuals with significant soft tissue looseness
• Healthy patients without medical conditions impacting healing
• Non-smokers
• Patients with realistic expectations
• Individuals committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle

Surgical Procedure Details

Performed under general anesthesia, a body lift typically takes 5-6 hours. The procedure involves strategic incisions to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissues. Dr. Petrungaro uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring and create natural-looking results.

Recovery and Results

Full recovery takes 6-8 weeks, with patients expected to take at least two weeks off work. Compression garments and follow-up appointments help ensure optimal healing and results.
