Here’s Why:
At Fairbanks Plastic Surgery, a Body Lift typically includes several procedures performed together to restore body contour after major weight loss. These procedures may include Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), Medial Thigh Lift, Lateral Thigh–Buttock Lift, Mastopexy (Breast Lift), and Brachioplasty (Arm Lift). Additional contouring procedures such as Liposuction and Fat Grafting may also be included to enhance overall results.
Careful surgical planning helps achieve the best outcome. Patients who are closer to their ideal weight before surgery typically experience more satisfying and long-lasting results.
Many of these individual procedures are explained in more detail throughout other sections of this website where you can learn more about each treatment.
The lower body lift / lateral thigh-buttock lift requires an incision placed around the waistband area of the hips and lower back where excess skin and fat are removed. The resulting scar is generally well hidden beneath undergarments or swimwear.
The medial thigh lift involves an incision within the upper inner thigh crease that allows removal of excess skin and fat. Because the incision follows the natural fold of the thigh, it is typically not easily noticeable.
In some cases, when there is significant skin laxity, an additional vertical incision extending toward the knee may be required to properly tighten and reshape the inner thigh.
who Needs it:
Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with excess, sagging skin that affects comfort, mobility, or body confidence.
These procedures include:
A series of body contouring procedures that address extra skin after weight loss
Helps reshape the body to a more natural shape and tone
Removes excess tissue that may cause pain or discomfort
Tightens and tucks the skin while providing a lifting effect
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Breast Augmentation with Implants
Breast Augmentation with Implants & Fat Grafting
Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Mini Tummy Tuck
Liposuction


People go on weight loss diets and workout programs all the time. However, When a person engages in extensive weight loss, like the “Biggest Loser” or undergoes Bariatric Surgery, they are left with extra skin, which does not retract. As a result, excessive drooping and wrinkled skin is difficult to hide with clothing. In addition, these love handles and extra folds aren’t just fashion downers. They cause hygiene and other health issues. Our body lift surgery can help address these problems.
Recovery
At least two weeks off of work is highly recommended after undergoing body lift procedures. Time allows the patient to have a better chance to heal without increasing the risk of complications. As expected with most procedures there will be some discomfort initially. However, the discomfort lessens day by day, and pain medications will help. Recovery time may vary on the individual and intensity of the procedure. Therefore your physician will consult with you about post-surgery care.
Results
A body lift does not guarantee resistance to future weight gain or skin laxity. However, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can help you sustain your results, manage your weight, and support a healthier lifestyle.
