Body Lift Surgery is a cosmetic surgery procedure dedicated to remodeling the abdomen and buttocks. It is an intervention to regain a harmonious silhouette.

Overview

Body lift surgery is performed in order to improve the shape, tone, and definition of your body, particularly following significant weight loss.

Genetics and lifestyle choices combine to create our body shapes. Some people develop significant laxity of the tissues of their abdomen, sides, backs, and thighs. This happens to some people who lose a lot of weight. It also happens to people who have always been near their ideal weight but whose tissues are just naturally loose. When lax, hanging tissue becomes bothersome it may be possible to have that tissue removed.

What is a Body Lift?

Three separate procedures are considered to be components of a body lift. Each may be performed separately to address specific problems, or all three may be incorporated to produce dramatic effects. To improve a saggy inner thigh, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet might recommend an inner thigh lift. A body lift can also be focused on elevating a saggy buttock or outer thigh.

The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is also considered a body lift, and it addresses a sagging abdomen which might result from pregnancy, weight loss, or lack of exercise.

Customizing your body lift surgery

A body lift surgery is often customized to meet specific goals and parameters. The following physical and aesthetic conditions can be targeted for improvement with a body lift:

• Uneven or dimpled soft tissue, such as cellulite
• Stretch marks combined with lax skin
• Loose skin which created uncomfortable creases and overhang
• Excessive adipose fat tissue
• Sagging and unflattering body contour
