Body lifting
Body lifting is a comprehensive plastic surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat deposits and creating a firmer, more contoured body silhouette. The procedure is most commonly performed after significant weight loss or as a result of age-related changes, when the skin loses elasticity and forms folds.
When is body lifting indicated?
- After major weight loss when the skin becomes loose and sagging.
- Age-related loss of skin elasticity, especially in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms.
- Pronounced aesthetic discomfort caused by flaccid skin.
- Presence of skin folds that interfere with movement or cause irritation.
- After pregnancy, when the skin and muscles fail to recover naturally.
How is the procedure performed?
- Consultation with a surgeon – assessment of problem areas and selection of the optimal surgical strategy.
- Anesthesia – the procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
- Removal of excess skin and fat – incisions are made in carefully planned areas to excise redundant tissue.
- Body contour correction – skin tightening is performed; liposuction may be added if necessary.
- Suturing and recovery – tissues are fixed and cosmetic sutures are applied.
Types of body lifting
- Circumferential body lift – comprehensive correction of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and lower back.
- Upper body lift – correction of the arms, back, and chest area.
- Lower body lift – focuses on the thighs, buttocks, and abdominal region.
- Combined procedures – body lift combined with liposuction.
