Body Lift Beverly Hills, CA | Spalding Drive Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Body Lift Procedure

Extreme weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can contribute to poor tissue elasticity and sagging skin. Excess tissue may droop around the abdomen, waist, lower back, and buttocks, making clothing fit poorly and creating a flabby appearance. When diet and exercise cannot restore skin elasticity, a body lift becomes the definitive solution for body contouring.

Comprehensive Body Lift Treatment

The Body Lift, also known as Belt Lipectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to eliminate excess fat and loose skin from multiple body areas, including:

• Belly
• Hips
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Upper torso

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift Surgery

Perfect candidates for a body lift procedure include individuals who:

• Have experienced dramatic weight loss
• Are in overall good health
• Are non-smokers
• Maintain realistic surgical expectations
• Are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery

Surgical Procedure Details

The body lift procedure typically takes six to eight hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Surgeons make a circumferential incision around the body, removing excess skin and fatty tissue while tightening remaining muscle and skin for a sculpted appearance.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately two weeks. Initial bruising and swelling are normal, and a compression garment will be required to minimize swelling and support healing. Full results become noticeable within three to six months, with permanent benefits provided a stable weight is maintained.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While body lift surgery is considered safe when performed by experienced surgeons, potential risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, and delayed wound healing. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes these risks.
