Body Lift in Islandia, NY | CAMEO Surgery

Understanding Body Lift Surgery

Nearly everyone develops loose skin due to weight loss or age-related changes. Excess skin can distort body proportions and cause significant discomfort. CAMEO Surgery Center provides comprehensive body lift solutions for patients in Islandia and the greater Long Island area.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift—also called a circumferential body lift—is an advanced skin removal surgery involving a complete incision around the lower torso. The procedure extends from the lower abdomen across the hips and meets at the lower back, just above the buttocks.

Body lift candidates typically demonstrate the following characteristics:

• Do not smoke
• Overall good health
• Ability to undergo lengthy surgical procedures
• Understanding of surgical process and recovery
• Realistic expectations and goals
