Body Lift Surgery
Body lift surgery covers a spectrum of cosmetic surgery procedures and techniques designed to remove excess skin and to lift and reshape the body.
Body lift surgery suits patients who have lost significant amounts of weight, leaving unattractive loose skin. This can be above or below the waistline and may appear at the front, back or sides or a combination.
The body lift is mainly for people who have experienced dramatic and potentially also rapid weight loss. This could be through diet and exercise or through weight loss surgery such as the gastric band or gastric bypass.
Body lift surgery is a major cosmetic surgery procedure and is used in extreme cases, where the tummy tuck is insufficient.
Body Lift Surgery Information
As UK leaders in weight loss surgery, we have helped thousands of patients lose literally tonnes of weight. We therefore understand that the weight loss can sometimes be just half the battle.
Dramatic weight loss through bariatric surgery can leave you with a lot of unsightly saggy skin and excess fatty tissue that cannot be toned through exercise. Every patient is different, and people's skin copes with weight loss in different ways. Factors such as age, genetics, general health and lifestyle affect your skin's elasticity, which is why we offer bespoke surgical packages to make up your individual body lift.
At The Hospital Group we offer a range of body-lifting procedures and can tailor make surgical packages that suit you and can combine such procedures as a tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, buttock lift and breast uplift.

Body Lift Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
As mentioned above your cosmetic surgeon will discuss with you what body lifting procedures are right for you, but here are some examples:
Upper Body Lift
An upper body lift concentrates on the back, abdomen and breasts. Back fat rolls are removed and the waist is made narrower. Excess skin under the breasts can also be removed and tightened. This procedure can include a breast uplift for women, or a male breast reduction for men.
Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift begins with a belt like incision above the buttocks and outer thighs, followed by peforming the tummy tuck. This type of surgery is also known as a belt lipectomy, excess skin is removed from the tummy and then restitched and tightened. Liposuction is also often used to eliminate any unwanted fatty tissue.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift involves removing excess skin and fat from the inner and outer thigh. Liposuction is often used to eliminate unwanted fatty tissue. Visit our web page for more information.
Arm Lift
An arm lift, or bingo wing removal as it is commonly known as, is a procedure which trims away excess skin to leave a slimmer and more toned contour. Liposuction can also be used to eliminate unwanted fatty tissue.
Buttock Lift
A buttock lift removes excess skin and fatty tissue and then tightens the remaining skin to give a smoother and pert appearance.
Breast Uplift
A breast uplift, or otherwise known as a mastopexy, is used on women who have lost volume in their breasts. The nipple can be moved and the breast can be reshaped and lifted to produce a perkier and firmer result. Breast implants can be used if the patient is also unhappy with size.
Body Lift: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I be able to have all of the body lift procedures at the same time?
That would need to be discussed with your cosmetic surgeon. He would probably recommend for the procedures to be carried out in stages to not much too much strain on the body during the recovery process.
Q: I've lost weight through dieting and not as a result of the gastric band, am I still a candidate for body lift surgery?
Yes of course, we are willing to see patients who have lost weight through any type of weight-loss method.
