BODY LIFT
Although diet and exercise can help in contouring the body, sometimes child births, excess fat reduction and/or age have stretched the muscles and there is the need for surgical assistance to get the body back into shape.
A Lower Body Lift offers the most dramatic transformation of the mid and lower body. It is truly a re-sculpting of the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Broken into its components, the lower body lift includes a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), a thigh lift, and a buttock lift (belt lipectomy).
The body lift procedure is performed on post bariatric patients as well as patients who have not had weight loss. The body lift transforms patients that have experienced massive weight loss and have excess skin. However, results are just as dramatic in patients who, in addition to a tummy tuck, want a tightening of the skin in their thighs and buttocks. The body lift can sometimes be done in one surgical session, though more often in stages, depending on the patients’ needs.
Who are the best Candidates?
Dr. Weisberg or Dr. Cederna can determine if you might be a good candidate for this procedure and go over your desired goal.
The Surgery
Excess skin and fat from the entire midsection of the body is removed. The skin closure is tailored to enhance the figure. The front part is the abdominoplasty, and the rear part is the belt lipectomy, which has its incision along the hips/upper buttock area, curving gently down to the coccyx.
If you feel this is a procedure you would like to explore we encourage you to call our office and make an appointment to meet with Dr. Weisberg or Dr. Cederna. Call today (207) 775-1933.
