Body Lift

Body Lift Surgery Overview

Exercise cannot always achieve results for individuals who have loose, sagging skin and uneven contours.  In general, a body lift reduces excess fat and skin resulting in smoother skin and contours.  We invite you to discuss this procedure at our Carmel plastic surgery office, located just north of Indianapolis.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift corrects excess loose and sagging skin and irregular contours of the:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Groin
• Thigh

The procedure will be individualized to your specific conditions and the regions to be treated.  Body lifts are surgical procedures and they require incisions, in some cases, extensive incisions.  A circumferential incision around the body removes an apron of excess skin and fat and repositions and tightens tissues.  Other body contouring procedures may be performed separately or in the same surgical session as a body lift including liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), mastopexy (breast lift), or a breast reduction.

After surgery, one or more small drain tubes may be placed temporarily to drain excess fluid or blood.  You may return to work and normal activities within a few weeks so long as you do not engage in any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise.

The results of a body lift at practice are visible almost immediately.  Incisions refine and fade over time.  However, as your body ages, it is natural to lose some firmness.
