Body Lift
The term Body Lift refers to a combination of lift procedures such as thigh lift, buttock lift, hip lift, and tummy tuck. Arm lift and breast lift (in a female patient) may be included if necessary.
Body lift surgery is usually indicated in post bariatric patients after massive weight loss resulting in excessive skin and subcutaneous fat laxity.
