Areas a Body Lift Can Reshape After Significant Weight Loss

You have put in the effort to lose weight and improve your health, but loose skin may still be holding you back. A body lift will refine your shape by removing the excess skin and tightening stretched areas. You can finally have results that match the work you’ve done! 

Dr. David Bogue, a six-time Castle Connolly Top Doctor award recipient, specializes in body contouring procedures in Boca Raton, Florida. He has helped countless patients feel better in their skin for the long run.

Areas a Body Lift Can Reshape

When the skin has stretched beyond its ability to retract, no amount of exercise will restore firmness. A body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, tightens underlying tissues, and improves body contours after major weight loss. 

Since weight loss affects everyone differently, Dr. Bogue tailors the surgery to your needs, so the areas that need the most correction get the right attention. Here are the most common areas Dr. Bogue can target in your body lift surgery:

• Abdomen and Waist: Loose skin around your stomach can hide the results of your hard work. Dr. Bogue removes the extra skin to create a smoother midsection.
• Lower Back and Flanks: Folds of skin around your waist and lower back can make clothes fit awkwardly and feel uncomfortable. Removing the excess helps define your shape.
• Thighs: Sagging skin on your inner and outer thighs can cause chafing and throw off your body’s balance. We can tighten these areas to give your legs a more toned look.
• Buttocks: After major weight loss, the buttocks can lose shape and volume. Dr. Bogue lifts and reshapes this area for a more natural contour.
• Hips and Groin: Extra skin in these areas can lead to chronic irritation. Smoothing things out improves comfort and helps clothes fit better.

A body lift helps you move more freely and feel more comfortable (in addition to looking better). While the breasts are not addressed as part of a body lift, we can work on them in a separate procedure or combined with your body lift. Dr. Bogue will do everything he can to make sure your results reflect your hard work.
