Body Lift Melville, NY | North Shore Cosmetic Surgery

Understanding Body Lift Surgery

A body lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat while reshaping the lower body. This advanced surgical technique targets multiple areas, including the buttocks, stomach, flanks, low back, and thighs, creating a firmer, more youthful figure.

Who Can Benefit from a Body Lift?

Body lift surgery is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or physical changes from pregnancy. Candidates typically seek to address:

• Excess hanging skin and tissue in the lower abdomen
• Sagging skin on the thighs and buttocks
• Excess fat and tissue on the back
• Discomfort from loose skin
• Desire to wear fitted clothing with confidence

Surgical Procedure Details

North Shore Cosmetic Surgery performs body lift surgery under general anesthesia, typically requiring at least one overnight hospital stay. The procedure can take four to seven hours and involves a comprehensive approach:

• Circumferential 360-degree incision (beltectomy)
• Precise liposuction to remove excess fat
• Careful skin trimming and tightening
• Strategic suturing to ensure optimal results
• Compression garment application to control swelling

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a gradual recovery process. Basic activities typically resume within two weeks, while full return to vigorous exercise may take up to six months. The North Shore Cosmetic Surgery team provides detailed post-operative instructions to minimize scarring and support healing.
