Tighten, Tone, and Turn Heads

Sagging skin after weight loss is incredibly common but not always welcome. At Marina Plastic Surgery in sunny Los Angeles, CA, our Body Lift is the ultimate solution for looking as great on the outside as you feel on the inside. Led by a team of expert aesthetic providers, we're here to help you reclaim your shape and your confidence. Body lifts are great for those who are post-weight loss or just ready for a serious sculpt - either way, we've got your back.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is like hitting the "smooth" button on your midsection. Technically called a circumferential abdominoplasty (quite the mouthful!), this procedure targets loose, sagging skin all around your abdomen, hips, lower back, and thighs.

It's one of the best surgeries for people who've lost a lot of weight and want to trade in that stretched-out skin for smoother, tighter curves. And while it's not a weight-loss surgery, it's often the cherry on top of a weight-loss journey.

Body Lift Benefits

Sure, a Body Lift gives you a smoother silhouette, but that's just the start. From better-fitting clothes to healthier skin, this procedure has tons of perks, like:

Gets rid of that stubborn, saggy skin
Creates smoother, tighter contours
Helps clothing fit better (hello, waistline!)
Improves comfort and mobility
Can boost skin health and hygiene
Restores body confidence like nothing else

And since circumferential abdominoplasty often includes liposuction and muscle tightening, it's kind of like the ultimate combo package.

Candidates

Candidates should be in good general health and absent any physical conditions that could lead to surgical complications. For example, patients with coronary artery disease or a weakened immune system may be disqualified from receiving this procedure. Non-smokers are greatly preferred, as are people with firm, elastic skin. It is essential for patients to remember that this procedure is meant for body contouring and is not an obesity treatment. You need to be within 30 percent of your healthy body weight to be an ideal candidate. It’s important to focus on the right goals—contouring and reshaping rather than seeing a smaller number on the scale.

Consultation and Preparation

Before we schedule surgery, we'll kick things off with a personalized consultation. Think of it as your strategy session: we'll go over your medical history, goals, and everything in between. You'll get to ask all your questions, and we'll map out your custom plan.

We'll also help you with everything you need to know about prep, which might mean quitting smoking, adjusting meds, or just stocking up on cozy clothes and your favorite post-op snacks.

Body Lift Procedure

Surgery day can be a big deal, and we'll make sure you're totally prepared. Your body lift is performed under general anesthesia at our accredited surgical center. It typically takes a few hours, depending on how much sculpting we're doing.

We'll make a discreet, low-positioned incision (usually around the bikini line), remove excess skin, tighten up underlying tissues, and maybe add some liposuction for good measure. Then it's compression garments on, and healing begins!

Body Lift Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Your new shape will be noticeable right away, and it'll only get better as swelling goes down over the next few months. Recovery does require patience, but we'll be with you every step.

What to expect:

Downtime: About two to four weeks off work and workouts
Compression Garments: Yes, they're snug, but so worth it
Scar Care: We'll guide you to keep things smooth and subtle
Maintenance: Keep your results glowing with a stable weight and healthy habits

Body Lift FAQs

Is a Body Lift painful?

You'll be comfortably asleep during the procedure, and we'll manage post-op pain with care. Most patients say that body lift recovery is way easier than they expected.

Will I lose weight after a Body Lift?

You might lose a few pounds of skin and tissue, but the real win is in contour, not weight loss.

What are the risks associated with a Body Lift?

As with any surgery, there are some risks like infection or scarring, but we'll walk you through them and make sure you're prepared.

What is the downtime after a Body Lift?

Expect about two to four weeks of rest and recovery, with most swelling gone by the three-month mark.

How much does a Body Lift cost?

Body lift cost depends on your custom treatment plan. We'll go over everything (including financing options!) during your consultation.
