Body Lift
After weight loss, some people may be left with excess or sagging skin. This sagging skin may be accompanied by fat deposits and cellulite. The common areas that these deposits can occur include the mid-section, lower torso and upper legs including the abdomen, waist, inner/outer thighs, buttocks, and/or hips.
A body lift surgical procedure removes excess skin and fat.
After an initial consultation, Dr Dilip Gahankari will assess your individual case and tailor a body lift procedure to suit your specific needs.
Is this procedure for me?
The precise body lift procedure varies with each patient.
Generally, a body lift entails making an incision that follows the upper/inner thigh to the waistline.
In more extensive body lift surgeries, the incision goes around the waist and lower back.
Adjustments to the buttocks and thighs during a body lift procedure require an incision at the crease of the buttocks.
Excess skin is removed, followed by the removal of underlying fat deposits.
Finally, the skin is pulled tighter and sutured into the new configuration.
Liposuction may also be performed in conjunction with a body lift.
