Overview
A Body Lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and tissue from the abdomen, flanks, buttocks and upper thighs. It is commonly performed after major weight loss to improve body shape, comfort and confidence.
The procedure tightens and reshapes multiple areas of the lower body, creating smoother and more proportionate contours while addressing loose, sagging skin.
