Body Lift Surgery: Comprehensive Body Contouring in Houston

Weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can cause undesirable excess skin accumulation on the lower body. While diet and exercise help lose fat and tone muscles, they provide limited skin restoration. Body lift surgery is designed to tighten loose skin and enhance the body's natural contour for patients seeking comprehensive body rejuvenation.

Key Benefits of Body Lift Surgery

• Natural-looking results
• Tighter skin
• Smoother body contours
• Enhanced definition
• Permanent correction
• Improved physique after weight loss
• Restored body after pregnancy
• Increased confidence

Areas Treated During Body Lift Procedures

Arms

Flabby underarms often result from major weight loss or pregnancy. An arm lift uses discreetly placed incisions to remove excess skin, restoring a slimmer, more toned arm appearance.

Thighs

Sagging inner and outer thighs commonly occur due to weight loss or aging. Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin and redrapes remaining tissue to enhance thigh contours and reduce painful chafing.

Flanks and Buttocks

Excess skin around the waist, hips, and buttocks can be addressed through strategic tissue removal and contouring. Optional fat transfer techniques can further enhance body shape and profile.

Combined Body Rejuvenation Options

Dr. Patronella often recommends combining body lift with complementary procedures to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals. Potential combination procedures include:

• Liposuction
• Tummy Tuck
• Breast Lift
• Breast Augmentation
• Neck Lift

Recovery and Expectations

Body lift recovery typically spans four to six weeks. Patients can expect some initial discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Compression garments and limited physical activity support optimal healing. Most patients return to work within two weeks, with final results becoming visible after major swelling subsides.
