Body Lift - page 12

Body lifts involve several different procedures such as the buttock lift, thigh lift, upper arm lift, tummy tuck, belt lipectomy, and lateral tension abdominoplasty. These procedures are most commonly performed on patients following large amount of weight loss such as after gastric bypass. None of these procedures are a method for weight reduction. Appropriate patients for these procedures have already lost the weight and are left with loose, sagging skin.

If multiple procedures are appropriate, some can be performed together. However, often Dr. Zewert will stage the procedures in multiple surgeries over several months.
