Cincinnati Plastic Surgery considers the body lift one of the most extensive and rewarding body contouring procedures. This comprehensive treatment, known by various names, typically includes a thigh lift, buttock lift, and often a tummy tuck.

Factors Contributing to Body Lift Needs

• Genetics play a significant role
• Weight gain can cause skin overstretching

Assessing Your Body Lift Potential

To determine if you're a good candidate for a body lift, stand in front of a mirror and lift the skin of your lateral thigh and buttock with both hands. If you can pull up a substantial amount of skin and notice significant improvement in the thigh/buttock area, you may benefit from a body lift procedure.

Additional Considerations

For those with excess skin in the medial thigh area, a medial thigh lift might be necessary. In some cases, this procedure can be performed simultaneously with a lower body lift.
