Transformative Body Lift in Virginia: Restore Your Confidence

After significant weight loss, skin often loses elasticity, causing unwanted sagging. A body lift at North Beach Plastic Surgery offers a comprehensive solution to reshape and redefine your body contours. Similar to a mommy makeover, this procedure combines multiple surgical techniques to address excess skin and enhance your body's appearance.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a customized surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from targeted areas. Our board-certified surgeons offer three primary approaches:

• Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy):
• Upper Body Lift:
• Full Body Lift:

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift Surgery

Candidates for a body lift should meet specific health criteria:

• Maintained stable weight for at least three months
• Overall good health
• Non-smoker
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Body Lift Procedure Details

North Beach Plastic Surgery tailors each body lift procedure to individual patient needs. The surgery typically takes four to five hours under general anesthesia, with options for outpatient or short hospital stay depending on the extent of the procedure.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a body lift requires patience and careful follow-up. Patients can expect:

• 2-3 weeks off work
• 6-8 weeks of modified activity
• Compression garment wear
• Gradual reduction in swelling over three months
• Potential up to one year for complete scar refinement

Potential Risks and Considerations

While body lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include: • Swelling and temporary numbness • Surgical site scarring • Potential infection • Rare instances of nerve damage
