The body lift procedure is designed to treat loose, hanging skin that occurs as a result of massive weight loss. A body lift can address loose skin in areas like the buttock, abdomen, and thighs. At Jacobson Plastic Surgery, we have provided numerous women and men with excellent results from their body lift surgery.
A body lift can remove excess skin and fat in areas such as the legs and buttocks, groin, and stomach. The extra skin is excised, and the underlying tissue is readjusted to establish a more attractive and appealing body contour. Each body lift procedure is personalized to suit the specific needs of each individual patient.
Body lifts are performed on people with significant quantities of loose skin in various areas of the torso and legs. The goal is to tighten and refine the appearance of the body and figure following massive weight loss. Women who have undergone pregnancy and are having difficulty restoring the pre-pregnancy appearance of their body can benefit from a body lift or a mommy makeover.
Women contemplating pregnancy should avoid proceeding with a body lift until they have finished having children, as a pregnancy may compromise the results of their body lift. It is also important that you commit to maintaining a stable body weight following your body lift in order to maintain your results for as long as possible.
