Understanding Body Lift Surgery

A body lift is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to eliminate excess skin and tissue from targeted areas of the body. This surgical technique is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced substantial weight loss through diet, exercise, or bariatric procedures.

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift

The most suitable candidates for body lift surgery are individuals who have:

• Maintained a stable weight for at least six months
• Successfully lost significant weight through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Types of Body Lift Procedures

Bayside Center for Plastic Surgery offers three primary body lift approaches:

• Lower Body Lift:
• Upper Body Lift:
• Total Body Lift:

Surgical Procedure and Technique

Lower Body Lift Process

During a lower body lift, Dr. John Roach follows a meticulous approach. The procedure begins with removing excess tissue from the outer thighs and buttocks. A tummy tuck is then performed, involving a horizontal incision across the pubic area to remove extra skin and fat while tightening stomach muscles.

Upper Body Lift Details

The upper body lift involves removing excess skin and fat from the middle back, along the bra line. Dr. Roach eliminates tissue creating back fat rolls, narrows the waist, and removes extra skin over the rib cage and under the breasts.

Recovery and Surgical Considerations

Patients undergoing body lift surgery can expect:

• Hospital stay of up to three nights post-surgery
• Complete recovery period between four to six weeks
• Potential minor complications such as small skin separations

Holistic Surgical Approach

Dr. Roach takes a unique approach to body lift surgery, potentially recommending personal fitness training in the weeks prior to the procedure to ensure optimal results.
