What is the Body Lift Procedure?
A slim, toned body is a hot commodity these days. It's a sign that one has achieved a level of health and fitness through proper diet and exercise. These are important parts of a healthy lifestyle, to be sure. But, for those who have sagging skin in the areas of the abdomen, upper arms and thighs and loose abdominal muscles due to age, childbirth or dramatic weight gain or loss, no amount of diet and exercise will ever produce the slim, toned results desired.
For this reason, surgeons have developed a surgical technique called the Body Lift, which combines several common cosmetic procedures including the abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) and liposuction to reverse the adverse effects of time, gravity, childbirth and weight fluctuations. In the body lift procedure, excess fatty deposits and skin are removed and inner musculature is tightened in order to produce a slimmer, more contoured profile.
The body lift procedure can enhance these areas of the body:
- Stomach, waist, sides and lower back area
- Buttocks
- Inner, outer and rear thighs
- Upper arms
For women who are also interested in either a breast augmentation, breast lift or reduction, a Mommy Makeover may be more appropriate. Your doctor can recommend the best procedure for you, depending on your needs and expectations.
More information on the Body Lift and the Mommy Makeover can be found at My Plastic Surgeon USA, where you can also contact a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a personalized, confidential consultation.
