Body Lift Matthews, NY | Premier Plastic Surgery Center - Dr. Victor Ferrari

Understanding Body Lift Surgery After Significant Weight Loss

After major weight loss (40+ lbs.), patients often struggle with excess skin on their midsection, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Premier Plastic Surgery Center specializes in body lift procedures, also known as belt lipectomy surgery, to dramatically improve the abdominal, hip, and back areas.

What Body Lift Surgery Can Accomplish

A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to remove loose skin and fat around the waistline. The surgery carefully trims excess skin after weight loss, extending 360 degrees around the body and providing a transformative lifting effect.

• Remove loose, sagging skin
• Eliminate multiple stretch marks
• Prevent skin chafing and irritation
• Improve body confidence
• Enhance overall body contour

Key Differences from Traditional Procedures

Unlike a standard tummy tuck, a body lift addresses multiple lower body areas simultaneously. The comprehensive approach provides a more extensive skin removal and body contouring experience, targeting the abdomen, thighs, hips, and buttocks in a single procedure.

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift Surgery

Patients are typically considered good candidates for body lift surgery after achieving significant weight loss and maintaining a stable weight. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the surgical outcomes.

Surgical Considerations

Dr. Ferrari conducts a thorough medical evaluation before recommending body lift surgery. Patients will need to discuss their complete medical history and be prepared to follow specific pre-surgical guidelines, including potential smoking cessation.

Recovery and Expectations

Body lift surgery involves a more extensive recovery compared to standard body contouring procedures. Most patients require 3-4 weeks off work and driving, with a gradual return to full physical activities over several months.

Dr. Victor Ferrari brings board-certified expertise and extensive experience in post-weight loss body contouring. Each procedure is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual patient, ensuring personalized and transformative results.
