Phone screening
We can offer answers to your questions with a no-commitment phone call. Our surgical coordinator will walk you through an overview of the procedure and offer a price range. This is a no-pressure information session designed to help you make the right decision for yourself without paying for a consultation.
1:1 consultation
The same coordinator from your screening will greet you on the day of the consultation. After reviewing the main points from your initial discussion, they’ll introduce you to your surgeon. You’ll then have a thorough 30-45 minute discussion with the doctor about your expectations and potential results.
Once you have all the information you need, we will provide a customized quote that is always within the range mentioned during your phone screening. You’ll leave our office with a clear understanding and, if you wish, your body lift scheduled.
Procedure
On surgey day you’ll have VIP parking available just a few steps away from our private entrance for surgical patients.
Once inside, our team will guide you to a private area away from other patients, where you can get changed. If family members accompany you, they can relax in a dedicated waiting area.
The body lift typically lasts 2-3 hours, and the procedure will be performed in our hospital-grade operating room, where a licensed anesthesiologist will oversee the process. Afterwards, you’ll rest in our recovery area under the care of experienced nurses.

Body Lift FAQ
How soon after massive weight loss can I have a body lift?
We generally recommend waiting at least 6-12 months after reaching your goal weight before having a body lift. This allows your weight to stabilize and your skin to shrink as much as possible naturally. It also ensures you’re in optimal health for surgery. During your consultation, we’ll assess your individual situation and advise on the best timing for your procedure.
What's the recovery time for a body lift?
Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, but full recovery can take 6-8 weeks. You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for about 6-8 weeks. We’ll provide a detailed recovery timeline during the consultation.
Will I have visible scars after a body lift?
Yes, body lift surgery does result in scars. However, we place incisions in areas that can be hidden by most clothing and swimwear. These scars typically fade and flatten over time with proper care.
How much weight will I lose from a body lift?
While you may lose some weight from the removal of excess skin, a body lift is not a weight loss procedure. The amount varies but can be anywhere from 5-15 pounds. The most significant change will be in your body shape and contour.
Can I combine a body lift with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine a body lift with other surgeries like breast lifts or arm lifts for more comprehensive results. We can discuss safe combinations based on your goals and health status during your consultation.
How long will my body lift results last?
Results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations can affect your results. Following a balanced diet and regular exercise routine helps maintain your new contours.
Will a body lift get rid of all my stretch marks?
A body lift can remove some stretch marks, particularly those on areas of excess skin that are excised. However, it won’t eliminate all stretch marks. We can discuss additional treatments for remaining stretch marks during your consultation.
Can I have a body lift if I'm planning to lose more weight?
It’s best to be at or near your goal weight before having loose skin removal surgery. Significant weight loss after the procedure can result in new areas of loose skin.
Will a body lift help improve my mobility?
Yes, many patients find that a body lift significantly improves their mobility and comfort during physical activities. Removing loose skin can reduce chafing, rashes, and the weight of overhanging skin. This often makes exercise and daily activities much easier and more enjoyable. Many of our patients report feeling more motivated to maintain an active lifestyle after their body lift. We recommend maintaining a stable weight for at least 6 months before surgery.
How much pain should I expect after a body lift?
You’ll experience some discomfort, particularly in the first week. We’ll prescribe pain medication to keep you comfortable. Most patients find the pain manageable and report it improves significantly after the first week.
