What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a surgical procedure designed to address the shape and tone of specific area’s of the body by removing excess skin and fat. It typically targets areas that have lost elasticity due to significant weight loss, ageing, or other factors. The procedure can involve lifting and tightening the abdomen, arms, thighs, buttocks or flanks, resulting in the appearance of a smoother and more contoured outline. Body lifts are often performed as part of a comprehensive body contouring plan.

Who May Benefit

Significant weight loss patients that have been left with excess, loose skin folds.
Patients with ageing tissues leading to loose skin that needs tightening.
Patients who have had multiple pregnancies affecting body shape.
Patients wishing to address contours of the abdomen and thighs.

How is the procedure performed?

Anaesthesia

Anaesthesia Administration

The body lift procedure begins with the administration of general anaesthesia for patient comfort and safety throughout the surgery.

Incision

Surgeons create carefully planned incisions in discreet locations around the body. The type and length of these incisions depend on the specific areas being treated for removal of excess skin and fat.

Skin Tightening and Closure

After the excess tissue has been removed, the surgeon pulls the skin tighter and removes the excess. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and the areas are dressed to protect them and promote healing.

What is the Recovery like?

Recovery from Body Lift typically involves a few key stages.
  • Expect swelling and bruising that may last for several weeks.
  • A compression garment is usually worn to aid healing, reduce swelling and support the new contour.
  • Light activities can typically be resumed within a few weeks.
  • Strenuous exercise should be avoided for several months.

What are the Risks?

Body lift surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks. These can include complications such as infection, excessive bleeding, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. Additionally, patients may experience poor scarring, uneven contours, or changes in skin sensation. It’s important to discuss these risks with a qualified surgeon to understand how they apply to your specific situation and to take steps to reduce them.

What are the Costs?
