Make a lasting change to your overall figure with a body lift
Over the years, pregnancy, weight change, poor diet or lack of regular exercise can cause the connective tissues to weaken, lose elasticity and the skin to sag. In addition, with weight gain, significant excess fat builds up under the skin, causing the skin to overstretch and become unable to retract in the event of weight loss.
During a body lift, we perform a combined surgery, which allows us to treat several areas of the body at the same time: we remove sagging skin and excess fat from problematic areas and strengthen the muscles of the abdominal wall as well. In essence, we create a radical improvement in body contour, making many areas of the body firm, youthful and lean again.
We can restore the entire body
A body lift is an invasive surgical procedure on the torso that can make a lasting and major difference - up to 15 centimeters of volume reduction. There's no need for a series of plastic surgeries, you can get it all done in a single procedure and even save yourself from having to spend repeated recovery periods. The body lift affects the following areas:
- breasts,
- abdomen,
- back,
- waist,
- hips,
- arms,
- buttocks.
The results of the combined plastic surgery are long-lasting and permanent only if you take good care of the results and yourself. However, if you gain weight, your skin may stretch and change again, so the effect of the procedure may be compromised. For this reason, we recommend that you reach your ideal body weight before the surgery and then go ahead with the procedure!
The three types of body lift method
We perform lower, upper and combined body lift surgeries, depending on which areas of the body we work on during the procedure. The aim and process of the surgeries are broadly similar: the procedures involve the removal of excess skin and fat and the tightening of sagging tissue, but we work on different areas and therefore different incision points.
Lower body lift
During the lower body lift, we perform body contour correction in the abdomen, hips and back. The first incision is made in the hip line perpendicular to the body, followed by the back and buttocks, and then the removal of excess skin and fat on both sides of the waist. The operation is then completed on the abdominal wall, where the separated abdominal muscles are sutured together and the belly button is replaced.
Upper body lift
During the upper body lift we work on the breasts, back, arms and abdomen. Our plastic surgeon starts in the middle of the back, then makes an incision in the armpits and finishes with a correction of the abdomen and the breasts and chest area. In many cases, female patients also require a breast lift and a breast augmentation.
Combined body lift
In a combined body lift, we essentially perform surgery on all areas of the torso at the same time. This makes the surgery extremely invasive and stressful, with the plastic surgeon working for up to 6-8 hours.
Procedure
The first step in the process is to attend a consultation with a specialist to discuss the procedure, the options and the risks. During the consultation, we will create your individual treatment plan based on the areas of concern.
Prior to your plastic surgery, you will have a full examination, including laboratory tests, ECG and X-rays. These tests will ensure that you are fully ready for the procedure.
The operation is performed under general anesthetic and can take up to 2-6 hours, depending on the areas involved. The combined surgery will remove sagging skin and excess fat from the problematic areas on your torso.
At the end of the procedure, drain tubes are inserted at several points on the torso to drain blood and secretions, and a compression garment is placed on you.
The next day after surgery, we'll apply a waterproof bandage over your wounds so you can shower easily. You will spend at least 2 nights in the clinic, after which you will be discharged with an accompanying adult.
