Post Weight Loss Body Lift Atlanta, GA | Dr. Diane Alexander

Understanding Body Lift Surgery in Atlanta

Post-weight loss body contouring, or body lift surgery, is a comprehensive approach to addressing excess skin after significant weight reduction. At Artisan Plastic Surgery, the procedure involves multiple surgical techniques tailored to individual patient needs.

Who Qualifies for a Body Lift Procedure?

Ideal candidates for body lift surgery have:

• Achieved their target weight
• Maintained a stable weight for at least six months
• Excess, stretched skin that does not retract
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Body Lift Procedure Options in Atlanta

Artisan Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive body contouring solutions, including:

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Addresses excess skin and stretched abdominal muscles following significant weight loss. Often combined with liposuction to enhance natural body contours and create a firmer, flatter abdomen.

Upper Arm Lift

Removes excess skin and fat from upper arms through strategic incisions, restoring a more defined and toned arm appearance. Helps patients feel more confident in sleeveless clothing.

Thigh and Lower Body Lift

Targets sagging skin on thighs, buttocks, and lower body. Surgical techniques are designed to remove excess tissue and lift underlying structures, creating smoother, more proportionate contours.

Surgical Considerations for Body Lift in Atlanta

Patients should understand that body lift procedures involve longer surgical scars, typically placed in locations concealed by clothing. Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the procedure, with most patients requiring 3-4 weeks before returning to normal activities.

Personalized Approach to Body Contouring

Artisan Plastic Surgery emphasizes individualized treatment plans. Surgeons may recommend combining multiple procedures or staging surgeries based on patient health, goals, and recovery potential.
