About

This Procedure

Why Body Lift Is Needed:

EXCESS SKIN AFTER MAJOR WEIGHT LOSS:
After significant weight loss from strict diets, intensive workout programs, or bariatric surgery, the skin often does not retract fully. This can leave behind loose, drooping, and & wrinkled skin that is difficult to conceal with clothing.

HEALTH AND HYGIENE CONCERNS:
Excess folds of skin can lead to irritation, hygiene challenges, & other health issues. Body lift surgery helps remove this extra tissue & restore a smoother, more comfortable body contour.

Best timing For Body Lift:

BODY LIFT surgery is usually recommended AFTER YOUR WEIGHT HAS STABILIZED following significant weight loss.

Best practice:

MAINTAINING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WITH PROPER NUTRITION & REGULAR EXERCISE helps support long-lasting results after surgery.

A Series of Procedures

Fairbanks MD's Exclusive Body Lift Technique:

SPECIALIZED SURGICAL APPROACH designed to remove excess skin while carefully reshaping the body’s natural contours after major weight loss.

This technique focuses on STRATEGIC INCISIONS & PRECISE TISSUE
TIGHTENING to achieve smoother, more balanced, & long-lasting results.

Body Lift Overview

COMBINATION OF PROCEDURES:
At Fairbanks Plastic Surgery, a body lift typically combines multiple
procedures to restore body contour after significant weight loss. These may
include a tummy tuck, thigh lift, buttock lift, breast lift, & arm lift, along
with additional contouring techniques to enhance overall results.

Associated Procedures

DETAILED PROCEDURE INFORMATION:
Many of these procedures are explained in more detail throughout other
sections of the website, where you can explore each treatment individually
& understand how they contribute to the overall body lift process.

Lower Body Lift Procedure

WAISTLINE INCISION APPROACH:
The lower body lift, also known as a lateral thigh–buttock lift, involves an
incision placed around the waistband area. This allows for the removal of
excess skin and fat while lifting and reshaping the lower body. The resulting
scar is typically well concealed beneath undergarments or swimwear.

Medial Thigh Lift Procedure

INNER THIGH CONTOURING:
A medial thigh lift focuses on the inner thighs, using an incision placed within the natural crease of the upper thigh. This approach allows excess skin and fat to be removed while keeping the scar relatively discreet.

Incisions & Scarring

ADDITIONAL INCISION CONSIDERATIONS:
In cases of more significant skin laxity, an additional vertical incision extending toward the knee may be required. Surgical techniques are carefully planned to minimize visible scarring while achieving optimal contouring results.

Surgical Planning & Results

OPTIMAL OUTCOME STRATEGY:
Careful surgical planning is essential for achieving the best outcome. Patients who are closer to their ideal weight before surgery & maintain a healthy lifestyle typically experience more satisfying & long-lasting results.

Recovery Info & Results

Pain Scale

PAIN & DISCOMFORT LEVEL:
Some discomfort is expected after a body lift procedure, especially in the initial days. However, pain gradually decreases day by day & can be effectively managed with prescribed medications.

Recommended Time Off:

At least two weeks off work is highly recommended to allow proper healing and reduce the risk of complications. Recovery time may vary depending on the individual & the extent of the procedure, & your physician will provide personalized aftercare guidance.

Long Term Outcome Expectations:

A body lift does not prevent future weight gain or changes in skin elasticity. However, maintaining a healthy diet & regular exercise can help preserve your results, support weight management, & promote a healthier, more confident lifestyle.

Follow-Up Appointments:

THESE ARE A MUST: Attending all scheduled post-operative visits allows us to monitor the healing progress & address any concerns promptly, which leads to the best end result possible.
