Body Lift
in Jacksonville, FL
Losing weight is a great feeling; however, many people are left with folds of skin, whic can take away from your great accomplishment. A body lift performed by our Plastic Surgeons, Timothy E. Fee, MD, and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD can remove the extra skin and fat to allow you to proudly show off your hard-earned curves. Coastal Cosmetic Center offers body lift procedures to people around the world who are ready to take the final step in their weight loss journey.
What is a Body Lift?
Patients who have experienced multiple pregnancies or bariatric surgery will specifically benefit from a Body Lift procedure. The procedure is designed to remove extra skin, lift, shape, and sculpt the remaining tissue. For many, a Body Lift is transformative as the final step in the restoration of their figure at the end of their weight loss journey. The Body Lift is the most impactful single procedure for rebuilding the waist and achieving a trim silhouette.
An Upper Body Lift focuses on the figure and shape of the breasts and upper back.
A Lower Body Lift targets the buttocks, thighs, hips, and abdominal regions.
What Are the Benefits of a Body Lift?
Body Lifts can restore a sense of confidence that is often changed after weight loss and sagging skin and fat. It can feel demoralizing to lose weight only to still have body shape and appearance that is less than ideal. A Body Lift can help restore many parts of the body that have been effected by age related and weight loss related changes. Additionally, a Body Lift can potentially prevent future skin infections as a result of less moisture in areas that used to have excess loose, sagging skin. Flabby skin can also result in chafing, which is also eliminated with a Body Lift. This procedure creates a newly contoured figure that will improve your self-confidence and self-image.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Body Lift?
The ideal candidates for a Body Lift are patients who have recently accomplished major weight loss and have loose skin that has lost its elasticity and is unable to retract to its former shape.
What is the Procedure for a Body Lift?
Body Lifts are performed in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia at the Coastal Cosmetic Center’s nationally accredited on-site surgery center, Coastal Surgery Center, in Jacksonville, FL. Frequently combined with a tummy tuck, liposuction, or a Brazilian butt lift, our Plastic Surgeons will remove the excess tissue and then tighten the skin to sculpt your body to a more desirable, curvy, and fit shape.
What is the Recovery for a Body Lift?
A Body Lift is a major surgical procedure and it is crucial that patients follow all post-operative protocols. Patients can expect to be off work and restricted to light duty activities for two weeks. Within two months, patients should be back to a full exercise and daily living regimen. Combined with healthy lifestyle choices, a Body Lift delivers long-lasting results.
How Much Does a Body Lift Cost?
Body Lifts will vary significantly between patients, so Dr. Fee and Dr. Bilezikian will take their time to thoroughly examine you and discuss your expectations for the procedure. Your initial consultation is completely confidential and will include a breakdown of all costs associated with your Body Lift.
