Quick Facts

Quick Info

  • A body lift is sometimes described as a “tummy tuck” for your back. Excess skin is removed from your lower back area to lift your buttocks and shape your waistline. The surgery is done with you lying on your stomach. You will be under anesthesia for about 2-3 hours.
  • Body lifts are most commonly performed in people who have lost a significant amount of weight (usually after gastric bypass or similar procedures) and now have loose skin extending into their back. Usually this surgery is performed after a tummy tuck has already been accomplished.
  • A body lift requires a minimum of two weeks of recovery, where you will stay home and rest. After two weeks, you can go back to work if you have a desk job and are cleared by your surgeon. You cannot lift anything heavy for 4-6 weeks.
  • A body lift is often combined with liposuction of the upper back or legs to achieve better contours in these areas as well.

Body Lift in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton

After dramatic weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery, diet and exercise, or following pregnancy, many individuals are left with excess loose skin that extends from the abdominal area to the lower back.

Our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to provide some of the best body lift results available in Central California.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat in the lower body, typically after significant weight loss from bariatric surgery, diet, exercise, or pregnancy. This procedure tightens and contours the body, reshaping the waist, abdomen, and buttocks for a firmer, more youthful appearance, while improving overall body symmetry.

A body lift not only enhances appearance but also improves quality of life by reducing skin irritation, chafing, and boosting body confidence. It’s a life-changing solution for those struggling with excess skin, offering a more toned, youthful look.

Preparing for Your Body Lift Surgery

Before undergoing a body lift, it’s essential to have an in-depth consultation with one of our highly trained surgeons. During this initial consultation, your surgeon will review your medical history, discuss your goals for the surgery, and assess your overall health. This will help ensure that body lift surgery is the best option for you and that you are fully informed about the process. Our team will walk you through every step of the procedure, answer any questions, and help you set realistic expectations.

In addition, we will provide detailed pre-surgical instructions to ensure you are properly prepared. This may include instructions on adjusting medications, quitting smoking, and following specific dietary guidelines. Proper preparation is essential for a smooth surgery and recovery process, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.

The Body Lift Procedure

Each body lift procedure is customized to address the specific areas of excess skin and fat that concern the patient. For patients seeking total body lift contouring, our surgeons target the abdomen, lower back, and other problem areas. Incisions are made in areas hidden below the pant line, ensuring discreet results. Excess fat is suctioned out, and the underlying muscles are tightened to create a more contoured appearance. The skin is then pulled tight, and excess skin is removed. The incisions are sutured in multiple layers, and a compression garment is applied to promote healing.

Benefits of Body Lift Surgery

  • Improved Contours: A body lift removes excess skin and fat to create a more contoured and youthful appearance. The results can be dramatic, enhancing the body’s shape and proportions.
  • Increased Confidence: Patients often feel more confident in their bodies after the procedure, as the excess skin that once caused embarrassment or discomfort is now removed.
  • Relief from Discomfort: Excess skin can cause chafing, irritation, and discomfort. By removing this skin, many patients experience a greater sense of comfort in their day-to-day activities.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Many patients report an improved quality of life, as the body lift helps them feel more comfortable in their clothing and reduces skin-related issues such as rashes or infections.

Take the next step in your weight loss transformation by scheduling a consultation with us today. We're here to help you achieve stunning body lift results in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton, so you can feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
