Getting older, UV exposure, pregnancy, extreme weight changes, and genetics may cause tissue elasticity to decrease, which can lead to drooping body parts. So, it is not just for removing extra fat. Liposuction can remove unwanted fat by itself where the skin has high elasticity.
Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift is the major lifting procedure. Belt abdominoplasty is another name for this procedure.
The parts that might be treated are:
- Abdomen and lower back
- Thigh
- Buttocks
The skin’s surface folds and abnormalities can be minimized with a thigh and butt lift. Thus smooth thighs and firm buttocks will be the result.
Upper Body Lift
An upper body lift can help you seem younger and flawless. It involves procedures like an arm lift, also referred to as Brachioplasty, reducing excess skin in the back, breasts, neck, and face.
Total Body Lift
If you want to shape portions of the upper and lower body, you might think about getting a total body lift.
Suitable Candidates for Body Lift Surgery

- People who have realistic expectations from the surgery
- People who have a healthy routine of eating and exercise
- Individuals who do not smoke
Before the Procedure
You should discuss your surgery goals, health issues, medication allergies, and previous operations with your surgeon. Moreover, the surgeon will examine your overall health, take exact measurements of your body, take pictures, and talk about your alternatives.
How is it Performed?
Body lift surgeries are medical treatments that need several incisions. First, medications are given before the surgery. Both general anaesthesia and intravenous sedation are options. The option that is ideal for you will be advised by your doctor.
Then incisions are made. In a total lower body lift, the tummy, waist, thigh, and buttocks can all be tightened at once using incisions like a bikini pattern. Liposuction may be used to provide a better shape.
Furthermore, to cover the incisions stitches, skin adhesives, clips or tapes can be used.
Results
A body lift creates benefits that are almost instantly obvious. Once the scars have fully faded, which takes around six months following your operation, the actual effects of your procedure will become visible. Additionally, the Surgery benefits are intended to be durable if combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

- To drain any surplus blood, thin tubes may be put under the skin.
- Medications can be used topically or taken orally to help to heal.
- You may need seven to ten days off work to recover. This duration will vary depending on the degree of the treatment.
