What is a Body Lift?
A body lift is a procedure that removes fat and sagging skin to improve the tone and shape of the tissue that supports the skin. They aren’t intended for strictly fat removal, but rather to improve tissue elasticity. Poor tissue elasticity and skin sagging can be caused by various factors including aging, pregnancy, sun damage, weight fluctuations, and genetic factors.
What Areas Are Included In a Body Lift?
Side effects from liposuction will vary depending on the designated problem area. Typically, these effects can include bruising, swelling, numbness, and discomfort, but they are temporary and most patients are able to return to work and light activities in less than one week. The procedure may be completed in a single step or in several stages, based on your unique needs.
