After significant weight loss, particularly following gastric band surgery, excess skin on the body can be corrected with a body lift.
Objectives of the intervention
A body lift is a procedure designed to harmonize the silhouette by lifting the skin of the abdomen, buttocks, and front of the thighs (known as the saddlebags).
This is a complete procedure on the middle third of the body, which involves removing excess skin and fatty tissue, leaving a circular scar on the pelvis.
The intervention
A body lift is a procedure that combines abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck) and a buttock lift.
Postoperative care
The scar is located at the waist and extends to the lower abdomen and the upper edge of the pubic area. A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that requires close pre- and post-operative monitoring by the surgeon.
