Body Shaping
Following weight loss, a Body Lift can remove the excess skin and folds to sculpt and shape the entire body. This involves a complete transformation of the sagging and loose skin of the arms, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, and breasts to complete the aesthetic goals of major weight loss.

Considerations
​
The Procedure
A team of specialists sculpts areas of the body in a single stage or dual stage approach. Scars are carefully located in strategic areas to achieve the ultimate aesthetic results. The Body Lift is usually performed in the hospital since it can take up to eight hours and will require an overnight stay.

Ideal Candidate
You should be an adult in good general health, preferably a non-smoker, who has maintained a consistent weight with a suitable BMI for 3-6 months. Patients undergoing this procedure should have realistic expectations for the results after surgery and be ready to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow the medical team’s instructions for recovery and beyond as well as have support at home to assist with recuperation.
