What is a body lift?
A body lift is performed to remove the extra skin and tissue of the lateral abdomen and thighs in patients with such skin laxity.
What does a body lift do?
A body lift does for the abdomen and thighs what the facelift does for the neck, cheeks, and jowls. With this in-depth procedure, major excess skin removal of the inner and outer thighs, lateral abdomen, and lower back is possible. This is a major surgical procedure generally performed in a hospital setting and can take four to six hours or more to perform. Hospitalization for one to two nights is often required. While walking is resumed immediately after surgery, return to light activities requires seven to ten days, and full recovery often requires four to six weeks.
