Total Body Lift

What can a Total Body Lift do for you?

A Total Body Lift is a procedure that is used to improve the shape and tone of the body by removing excess fat and skin. A total body lift is a combination of upper and lower body lifts.

An upper body lift improves the breasts, chest, and middle back areas. A lower body lift focuses on the areas of the buttocks, thighs, abdomen, and lower back. A brachioplasty (arm lift) may also be performed. Once the sagging skin and underlying fat are removed, the remaining skin tissue is stretched, giving the body a tighter, better toned, and more youthful appearance.

If you are looking to improve overall body shape and tone, a total body lift may be the right procedure for you.

What to discuss with your surgeon

When considering a body lift, it is important to have realistic expectations and to discuss any questions or anxieties with your doctor during the consultation. You should be as near to your ideal or desired body weight as possible for the procedure to have the best, and longest lasting effects. In addition, it is also important to discuss why you would like to have the surgery, your medical history, including any diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, high blood pressure, cardiovascular, or any circulatory disorders. It is also important to discuss surgical history, usage of certain medications, supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. These can all affect surgery, healing, and ultimately your cosmetic outcomes.

Due to the extent of this procedure, your doctor may recommend that it be done in smaller, multiple procedures, depending on your health and medical history.
