What is a Body Lift and who is a candidate for this surgery? Body Lift surgery can be a solution for those who have an abundance of unattractive excess skin on their body due to massive weight loss or from multiple pregnancies. Skin elasticity that has been compromised by enormous stretching can be removed and reshaped. In Body Lift surgery, the excess fat and tissue is removed in the hip and thigh area and then the remaining skin is literally lifted up into its new position. Basically, the skin is then stitched back into place. Body Lift surgery is intended to safely and effectively reshape your body back to its intended pre-weight-gain shape.
What are the risks?
A Body Lift is a radical surgery which takes 3-10 hours to perform. Sometimes the surgery is done in 2 separate surgeries spaced weeks apart. The risks depend upon your particular medical history and the precise surgery required for your body. A Body Lift should only be considered after lengthy evaluation and consultations with your physician.
What type of anesthetic is used for a Body Lift?
The type of anesthetic used for any surgery is best recommended by the surgeon, however, a general anesthetic is usually required for Body Lift.

A Body Lift is a major surgical procedure and your recovery can be quite lengthy. You are encouraged to get on your feet on the day following surgery, however, bed rest may be advised for up to two weeks. Pain and swelling in the treated areas are typical. Tubes may have been inserted under the skin to remove excess fluid. After about 6 weeks, you will be able to return to work.
