Procedure Overview
A body lift is designed to correct circumferential skin laxity that develops when the skin cannot retract after major weight changes. By removing excess tissue around the entire midsection, the procedure improves contour from every angle—front, sides, and back—creating a more natural and proportionate silhouette.
Your body lift consultation
Your consultation focuses on understanding both your anatomy and your experience with weight loss. Dr. Griffin evaluates skin quality, scar placement, overall health, and recovery readiness. Because this is a significant procedure, the conversation is detailed and collaborative, ensuring the surgical plan aligns with your goals and long-term well-being.
What to expect
Body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and involves incisions that extend around the waistline to address the abdomen and lower back. Recovery is gradual and carefully guided, with close follow-up and clear milestones for activity progression. Swelling and tightness improve over time as the body heals and contours refine.
