A Body lift is a surgical procedure indicated in patients who have lost massive amounts of weight and have loose, redundant, hanging skin. It is generally the procedure of choice for patients who have undergone weight loss surgery. The procedure enhances the underlying tissue's shape and tone, which supports skin and fat.
Body Lift surgery thus helps improve a bumpy, uneven skin surface by removing extra sagging skin and fat.
The procedure is generally divided into a Lower and Upper Body Lift.
A Lower Body Lift or belt lipectomy is a very powerful procedure that takes care of the entire "belt" area and addresses laxity of the skin of the belly, waist, flanks including outer thighs, lower back and buttocks.
This is a 360-degree surgery and much more comprehensive procedure than a tummy tuck. A Lower Body lift takes care of the following areas:
A combined back lift, to remove fat rolls along the back, breast lift (or gynecomastia), and/ or upper arm lift are some of the procedures that make up an upper body lift.
A tighter, smoother body contour and an improved profile are the results of an upper body lift.
People who have reached a stable weight and have completed at least 18 months or more post their weight loss surgeries, with loose hanging skin on abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms breasts, are ideal candidates for Body Lift surgery.
Anyone who has lost massive weight, irrespective of having undergone a bariatric surgery or not, and has reached his/ her target weight and does not intend to lose any more weight, is also a candidate for Body Lift surgery.
| Surgery Time | 4-5 Hours (depending on the type of surgery) |
| Anesthesia Type | General Anesthesia |
| Hospitalization | 3-4 Days |
| Stitch Removal | 8-10 Days |
| Initial Recovery Time | 2-3 Weeks |
We at IndiCure completely understand your concerns and it is always our endeavor to provide the best outcome for every patient. Following is the list of questions you must ask before you embark on your journey for Body Lift in India.
Prepare to answer questions about your:
Body lift surgery is an extensive procedure and calls for long incisions. The amount and location of the excess skin that needs to be removed, as well as surgical judgement, determine the length and style of the incision.
Incisions are strategically positioned so that most clothing and swimwear can conceal them.
The steps involved in Body Lift surgery are:
You are given general anesthesia so that you sleep through the procedure. You will be given appropriate medication for your complete comfort.
For a complete lower body lift, the belly, groin, waist, outer thighs, and buttocks can all be tightened at once using incisions mimicking the bikini pattern. This repositions and tightens tissues while removing an apron of extra skin and fat.
This may be coupled up with some liposuction to give proper contours.

The newly sculpted contours are supported and helped by deep sutures within the underlying tissues. The skin incisions may be closed using sutures, skin adhesives, tapes, or clips.

A Body Lift Surgery gives excellent results and helps remove the excess hanging skin. It results in improved body contours and is usually the last step after massive weight loss to achieve a shapely body.
It greatly boosts the patient's self esteem and confidence levels.
Following the surgery, dressings or bandages are placed over the incisions to aid in your body lift surgery recuperation. Drains, which are tiny thin tubes, are temporarily put under the skin to spill away any extra blood that may collect. The drains are removed 3-5 days after the surgery.
You would need assistance in your day to day activities for the first 2-3 days. You would be in the hospital during this time and would get 24*7 nursing care.
You would be discharged from the hospital only after you can be on your own.
It is advisable that you rest for a few days after discharge from the hospital but you would be up and about during this time.
You can easily fly back around 2 weeks after the surgery and need to avoid any strenuous activities for at least 3 months. Walking and other routine activities can be resumed after you return to your country.

All surgeries have some risks involved. The various risks associated with Body lift surgery are:
You need to discuss these risks with the surgeon and take all precautions advised, to minimize these risks. Your surgeon would also advise a complete battery of tests before the surgery to make sure that you are fit to undergo anesthesia.
Following the surgeon's instructions, taking proper medication etc. minimizes your risks.
You can expect some discomfort and pain after Body lift surgery as it is an extensive procedure. There may also be a feeling of tightness in the treated areas. Discuss your pain threshold level with the surgeon so that appropriate medication is prescribed to you for pain control.
To prepare for your Body Lift surgery, you need to:
Most body lifts and tucks are not covered by insurance since most plastic surgery operations are regarded as elective and cosmetic.
Rarely these procedures may be covered if you are having a functional deficit and the procedure is considered a medical necessity.
Body lift surgery basically includes skin excision and Liposuction is generally not a part of it. It may however be used as an adjunct to help thin tissue while suturing.
Body lift surgery has virtually instant apparent results. You can expect to have an uplifted, toned body, though the final results of the surgery may take several months to show.
You can look forward to long lasting results after your Body lift surgery as long as you keep your weight constant and stay physically healthy. It is normal for your body to lose some firmness as you become older, nonetheless the majority of your results should last.
Even though there will be some noticeable scarring, the scars would gradually lighten and settle down.

I recently traveled to Mumbai for a lower body lift and breast lift. As an American nurse living in Saudi Arabia I was apprehensive at first and did months of research. I chose IndiCure because of Dr. Jagannathan. I traveled alone and spent almost 3 weeks there undergoing 2 separate procedures. I was pleasantly surprised. The surgeries both went flawless. All of the hospital staff was amazing. Read Michelle Williams's Review About IndiCure Here
