Body Lift Ridgeland, MS | David Steckler MD, FACS

Understanding Body Lift Procedures

Upper and lower body lifts are advanced body contouring procedures designed to remove excess skin and fat from various body areas. These surgical treatments reshape and lift regions affected by age, significant weight loss, pregnancy, and other transformative life events.

Procedure Scope and Approach

Body lift surgeries at Mississippi Center for Plastic Surgery can target multiple areas, including:

• Lower body: Abdomen, buttocks, and thighs
• Upper body: Arms, back, and surrounding regions

Surgical Details

Body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting between 4-7 hours. Dr. Steckler carefully plans incisions to minimize visibility while effectively addressing patient needs.

Surgical Technique

The comprehensive body lift procedure involves several precise steps:

• Strategic incision placement
• Targeted liposuction to remove unwanted fat
• Precise excess skin removal
• Skin repositioning and secure suturing

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Patients are typically advised to plan approximately two weeks for initial recovery. A compression garment is often recommended to support healing and minimize complications. Detailed wound care instructions are provided to help reduce potential scarring.

Transformative Benefits of Body Lift Surgery

For individuals dissatisfied with loose skin following significant weight loss, a body lift can help reclaim body confidence and achieve aesthetic goals. The procedure is highly customizable, allowing Dr. Steckler to address each patient's unique anatomical needs.
