Body Lift Rancho Mirage, CA | Suzanne Quardt MD - Palm Desert Plastic Surgery

Understanding Body Lift Surgery

Significant weight loss, aging, and genetic factors can result in loose, sagging skin that does not naturally return to its original firmness. A body lift procedure addresses this challenge by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues, helping patients achieve a more refined and natural body contour.

Target Areas for Body Lift

Body lift surgery typically targets multiple areas including:

• Sagging abdomen and lower back
• Low, flat, or uneven buttocks
• Sagging groin area
• Hanging skin on inner, outer, and rear thighs

Candidacy for Body Lift Surgery

Body lifts are most successful for patients with stable weight. Significant weight fluctuations after the procedure can compromise surgical results, potentially causing new skin sagging or stretch marks.

Surgical Procedure Details

During a body lift, Dr. Quardt will:

• Administer appropriate anesthesia
• Make strategic incisions to minimize visible scarring
• Remove excess skin and fat
• Tighten underlying supportive tissues

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial results immediately after surgery, with final appearance developing as swelling subsides over subsequent months. Comprehensive body lifts may include additional procedures like thigh lifts or abdominoplasty to achieve optimal contouring.

Complementary Procedures

For patients primarily seeking fat reduction, liposuction might be recommended. Dr. Quardt often combines liposuction with body lift surgery to provide comprehensive body sculpting.

Personalized Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Quardt will evaluate your individual needs, discuss expectations, and determine the most appropriate surgical approach for your body lift procedure.
