How Do Body Lifts Work?
In general, body lifts comprise numerous treatments to get rid of extra skin and fat. Surgical body lifts typically follow significant weight loss (think: bariatric surgery), and, depending on the patient and areas of concern, the procedures can address the upper body, lower body, or both. There are non-surgical and surgical body lift options, but patients who want to address significant skin and fat concerns will probably benefit from going under the knife for a “lift” or “tuck.”
- Lower Body Lift: Tummy Tucks (Abdominoplasty), Panniculectomies, Thigh Lifts, Butt Lifts, and/or Monplasties are some of the common procedures used for lower body lifts.
- Upper Body Lift: Arm lifts (Brachioplasty) and back lifts can be included in body lift that concentrates on the upper body. A breast lift and liposuction may also be added by women (especially as part of a “mommy makeover”).
