Understanding Body Lift
A body lift is a comprehensive cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape multiple areas of the body simultaneously, most commonly after massive weight loss due to bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes.
Body lift surgery typically targets abdomen and waist, lower back and flanks, buttocks, and thighs (upper/outer). The goal is to restore firmness, proportion, and natural body contours that cannot be achieved through diet or exercise alone.
