A body lift combines a tummy tuck with a thigh and buttocks lift to restore tone, elasticity, and a smooth appearance. This transformative procedure is ideal for individuals with excess skin from significant weight loss and relaxed abdominal muscles. Liposuction is often included to balance the torso and thighs.

The scar is placed low, hidden by modern underwear or swimwear. During a consultation, patients learn how this procedure can dramatically enhance their appearance.

The Body Lift Procedure
The surgery takes 4 to 5 hours, depending on the extent of work. Key steps include:

• Tightening abdominal muscles for a firmer stomach and narrower waistline.
• Elevating and removing excess skin and fat from the thighs and buttocks.
• Pulling the abdominal skin down for a smooth contour.
• Performing liposuction if needed.

Recovery Expectations:

• Pain Management: Prescription medication is recommended for discomfort.
• Healing Time: Bruising and swelling subside in 3 to 5 weeks; stitches are removed in 7 to 10 days.
• Return to Activities: Most patients resume work and normal routines within two weeks.
• Dr. Lloreda specializes in body lifts with excellent results. Complications, though rare, will be discussed during your consultation. All your questions will be answered to ensure you feel confident about your decision.
