Body Lift (Post-Major Weight Loss)

_ A body lift combines a variety of contouring procedures including thigh lift, tummy tuck, flankplasty (buttocks lift), and liposuction. Because body lift surgery is an extensive undertaking, it is sometimes performed in stages. Post-bariatric plastic surgery is highly individualized and is customized according to the patient’s needs.

The effects of aging or weight loss are not limited to the lower body or mid-section; these factors can also lead to excess skin drooping from the upper arm. A body contouring procedure called brachioplasty (arm lift) can remedy this condition, and may also be combined with other post-bariatric plastic surgery procedures.

A body lift or post-bariatric surgery in general, should not be confused with a weight-loss method. Rather, the procedure should be performed to address significant flaps of skin remaining as a result of weight loss or aging.
