Body Lift

Individuals who have lost a dramatic amount of weight through bariatric surgery, diet and exercise, or after pregnancy may have excess loose skin on their body. Even though they have lost a substantial amount of weight, these people may still find it difficult to fit into the smaller clothes they want to wear, or they find that the excess skin causes chafing and discomfort. Fortunately, we offer post-weight loss body lift surgery at Forma Plastic Surgery to help patients achieve the look they desire. Our skilled surgeons use the most advanced techniques to improve the appearance of the arms, thighs, buttocks, and other areas on the body.

Full Cosmetic Body Lift Surgery

Full body lift surgery is the most effective way to remove excess skin from the body and achieve a sleeker, more toned appearance after dramatic weight loss. Our surgeons have extensive experience in the latest body lift techniques to help ensure a successful outcome with minimal post-surgical scarring. The result of the surgery is a slimmer, firmer, more contoured body.

Before Body Lift Surgery

Patients who are interested in body lift surgery must meet with our surgeons for an initial evaluation to determine if they are qualified for the procedure. Ideal candidates are people who have undergone bariatric surgery or have recently had a baby and are bothered by excess, loose skin on many areas of their body. Our surgeons will discuss the patients' medical history, as well as goals for body lift surgery to make sure they maintain reasonable expectations. Our skilled surgeons will also explain the entire body lift procedure in detail and answer any questions or concerns patients may have.

Body Lift Procedure

Depending on the patient's ultimate cosmetic goals, total body lift contouring can be customized to each patient to address excess skin and fat on the arms, hips, thighs, butt, and breasts, and other areas on the body for a totally new figure. During the body lift procedure, the surgeon creates incisions on the targeted areas of the body. Then, the surgeon suctions out extra fat and pulls the muscles together for a more contoured appearance. Next, the skin is pulled taut and excess skin is removed. To complete the body lift, the incisions are sutured shut and the patient is fitted with a compression garment to facilitate healing.

Body lift surgery can be combined with abdominoplasty, breast lift, buttock augmentation, facelift surgery, or any of the other cosmetic surgery procedures we offer for a complete body makeover. Contact us to learn more about body lift surgery.

Cosmetic Arm Lift Surgery

Individuals with loose, flabby skin on their upper arms can restore a slimmer, youthful appearance through brachioplasty, also known as cosmetic arm lift surgery. During the arm lift procedure, the surgeon creates an incision along the arm and uses liposuction to eliminate unwanted fat in the area. The skin is then pulled taut and excess skin is trimmed. Once that is complete, the incision is sutured shut. The result is an improved arm contour. Patients who undergo cosmetic arm lift surgery no longer have to be self-conscious about raising their hands or wearing tighter clothes.

Cosmetic Thigh Lift Surgery

Patients who only have excess, sagging skin on their thighs may benefit from thighplasty, or cosmetic thigh lift surgery. Cosmetic thigh lift surgery can help tone and firm the legs for a more appealing contour. During the thigh lift procedure, the surgeon creates an incision on an inconspicuous area on the leg so that post-surgical scars are not noticeable. Next, the surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat and smooth out the leg shape. The skin is then pulled tight and excess skin is trimmed away. Finally, stitches are used to close the incision. The result is a more contoured lower body appearance.
