BODY LIFT
(LIPECTOMY)
A Lipectomy, or body lift, is a procedure utilized by plastic surgeons to dramatically streamline a patients body contours. While the procedure may sound extreme, a body lift typically involves four major target areas of the body, including the abdomen, buttocks, groin, and thighs.
Body Lift (Lipectomy) Overview
A Lipectomy procedure is intended to remove sagging skin from the areas mentioned above and their surrounding sites on the body, creating a sleeker, slimmer contour along the body’s major lines.
During a body lift, excess skin is removed from the areas being treated, if necessary. Depending on whether the patient is getting a lift in some or all of the major target areas, the remaining tissue is then sculpted and ‘lifted’ in these areas to create a smoother surface, with the appearance of more elasticity and firmness of the skin. Performing the crucial incisions for this surgery on or around the abdomen (sometimes including the lower back), buttocks, groin (sometimes extending into the upper thigh or inner thigh), and thighs ensure minimal scarring and provides the most sensible points of access for sculpting the body along its natural curves.
