Body Lift in White Plains, NY | Westchester Surgical Arts

Understanding Body Lift Surgery

Achieving significant weight loss can dramatically improve physical and mental health, but it often leaves patients with excess skin and tissue. A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted skin and fat following substantial weight loss, such as after bariatric surgery or multiple pregnancies.

Body Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for body lift surgery are healthy adults with significant skin laxity resulting from dramatic weight reduction. Bariatric surgery patients are recommended to wait until their weight has stabilized before pursuing this transformative procedure.

Comprehensive Body Lift Techniques

A body lift is a customized combination of cosmetic surgeries that can be performed in a single session or staged across multiple procedures. The surgery typically addresses multiple body areas to achieve comprehensive contouring.

Lower Body Lift Components

• Brazilian Butt Lift augmentation
• Thigh lift surgery
• Tummy tuck to address loose midsection

Upper Body Lift Options

• Arm lift for upper arm skin tightening
• Breast lift for sagging breast correction
• Back lift to remove excess back skin

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Liposuction can be strategically incorporated to remove localized fat deposits in the midsection, chest, and lower extremities. This technique permanently eliminates diet and exercise-resistant fatty tissue during the body lift procedure.

Recovery and Expectations

Body lift recovery varies based on the patient's health, extent of tissue removal, and procedure complexity. Patients undergoing staged procedures typically resume most activities within one to two weeks. Full body lift patients may require a 24-48 hour hospital stay and a more extended recovery period.

Post-Surgical Care

• Compression garments to protect incisions
• Promotes blood circulation
• Reduces post-operative swelling
• Temporary assistance with daily tasks recommended

Anticipated Results

Body lift results are immediate and transformative. Patients can expect noticeably tighter skin, more defined body contours, and relief from uncomfortable excess skin and tissue.
