NO MORE EXCESS SAGGING SKIN
It is a surgical intervention that improves sagging skin. It consists of restoring the tension of the skin in the abdomen, back, arms, buttocks, pubis and thighs through a set of procedures previously evaluated by the certified plastic surgeon.
This surgery is usually performed on patients who have lost significant weight after bariatric surgery or a strict diet and require correction of excess skin and muscle tone. Body lifting surgery does not replace weight loss in cases of obesity.

What is a Body Lift?

Enhancement of the abdomen, back, buttocks, legs, arms and even face.

Surgical time: 6 -8 hrs. depending on the combination of procedures.

Recovery time: Most patients can return to normal activities after 4 WEEKS, although it is important to avoid strenuous activities for several more weeks.
Am I a good candidate for a Body Lift?
-
The best candidates are those who have lost a significant amount of weight, have excess sagging skin.

Have reached a stable weight that allows the skin to not continue to stretch or lose elasticity after the procedure.

Have realistic expectations: It is important for candidates to have realistic expectations about the results of the body lift. While the procedure can significantly improve the appearance of the body, it cannot create a perfect body. -

Keep it in mind:
Every patient is different, and your plastic surgery result is not the same as everyone else's. The procedure cannot stop the natural aging process. Factors such as skin elasticity, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices (such as smoking and weight changes) can affect the longevity of the improvements.
