Body Lift

At SkinMD, we understand that after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, the body may not always reflect your hard work. We offer a variety of plastic surgery procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Individuals interested in addressing loose skin and fat can benefit from our personalized body lift procedure.

What Is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat while lifting and tightening the underlying tissues. This treatment can address multiple areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs. At SkinMD, our surgeons use precise, modern techniques to create smoother contours and natural-looking results tailored to your body goals.

What Can a Body Lift Treat?

This contouring procedure effectively addresses:

• Loose, hanging skin after weight loss or pregnancy
• Stubborn fat deposits that are unresponsive to diet or exercise
• Skin laxity and dimpling on the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks
• Poor body contour or irregular silhouette
• Discomfort caused by excess skin folds

It’s an ideal solution for patients seeking to restore a firm, lifted appearance after major weight loss or aging-related changes.

What Are the Benefits of a Body Lift?

Patients choose body lift surgery for both aesthetic and functional reasons. The benefits include:

• Smoother, tighter body contours
• Enhanced comfort and mobility
• Long-lasting results when paired with a stable weight
• Improved confidence and clothing fit

What Does a Body Lift Involve?

During a body lift, your surgeon will create strategic incisions along the lower torso, often around the waistline, to remove excess skin and fat. The remaining tissues are lifted and repositioned for a more sculpted contour. Depending on your needs, the procedure may focus on the lower body, midsection, or be combined with other contouring treatments. General anesthesia is typically used, and patients can expect several weeks of recovery before resuming normal activities.

What Results Can I Expect from a Body Lift?

Results from a body lift are often noticeable immediately, with continued improvement as swelling and bruising gradually subside over the weeks that follow. Patients typically see smoother, firmer skin and a more defined, contoured body shape as excess skin is removed and underlying tissues are tightened.

Recovery does require downtime, as this is a comprehensive surgical procedure. Most patients can expect several weeks of limited activity, with swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort gradually improving over time. Compression garments are usually worn to support healing, and strenuous exercise should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon. With healthy lifestyle habits and stable weight maintenance, body lift results can be long-lasting and significantly improve both physical comfort and overall confidence.

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.

Body Lift FAQs

• Who is a good candidate for a body lift?

  A body lift is well-suited for patients with loose or excess skin that does not improve with weight loss or exercise, often after significant weight changes. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations for surgery and recovery.

• What areas can a body lift improve?

  A body lift can address multiple areas at once, including the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, and thighs. The procedure is customized to target the specific regions affecting your body contour and comfort.

• What is recovery like after a body lift?

  Recovery requires several weeks of downtime due to the extent of the procedure. Swelling, tightness, and limited activity are expected initially, with gradual improvement as healing progresses. Most patients return to light activities within a few weeks, while strenuous exercise is resumed later with your surgeon’s approval.

• Will there be visible scars?

  Body lift surgery does involve incisions, but they are carefully placed to be as discreet as possible and often hidden beneath clothing. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable with proper care and healing.

• How long do body lift results last?

  With stable weight maintenance and healthy lifestyle habits, body lift results can last for many years. While natural aging continues, most patients enjoy long-term improvements in contour, comfort, and confidence.

• What procedures can be paired with a body lift?

  A body lift is often combined with procedures such as liposuction, breast lift, breast augmentation, or arm and thigh lifts to enhance overall contour and balance.
