Am I a candidate for a body lift?
There are several factors to consider when considering whether you need a body lift. A body lift could be the right choice for you if:
Significant Weight Loss:
You’ve experienced a significant weight loss, typically over 70 pounds. Such weight reduction often leaves excess skin that no longer has the elasticity to shrink back. Usually, a lot of loose skin can be identified in the lateral hips, buttocks, and lower back.
Loose Skin in Multiple Areas:
You have loose, hanging skin in multiple areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, which is common after shedding a lot of weight.
Muscle Laxity:
You notice muscle laxity, especially around the abdominal area. This is often due to the overstretching of the abdominal wall that can occur with weight gain or pregnancy, which doesn’t always retract with weight loss.
Abnormal Fat Pockets:
Despite significant weight loss, you might still have localized pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise, which can be recontoured during a body lift.
Effects of Multiple Pregnancies:
Multiple pregnancies can stretch your skin and muscles beyond the point where they can naturally return to normal, leading to a need for surgical intervention.
Personalized care
At Neaman Plastic Surgery, our brand and tone revolve around personalized care, empathy, and a commitment to helping individuals achieve their unique aesthetic goals. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, and our procedures are designed to do just that—empower individuals to embrace their beauty and feel their best.

Body lift procedures can be customized to meet each patient’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. Here are the different types of body lifts that can be performed:
Standard Body Lift
Also known as a circumferential body lift or belt lipectomy, a standard body lift involves removing excess skin and fat from around the entire circumference of the torso. This typically includes the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and thighs. Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss often choose this procedure, leading to sagging skin around these areas. The goal is to create a more toned and contoured body shape.
Body Lift with Auto-Augmentation
Auto-augmentation during a body lift refers to repositioning the patient’s tissues to enhance contours. For example, in the case of the buttocks, rather than removing excess skin and fat, the surgeon repositions and secures this tissue to provide a more lifted and volumized appearance to the buttocks. This method utilizes the patient’s own tissues, which can lead to a more natural feel and reduce the risk of complications associated with foreign implants.
Body Lift with Auto Augmentation and Fat Injections
This procedure combines auto-augmentation techniques with fat grafting for additional contouring and volume enhancement. After repositioning the excess skin, the surgeon performs liposuction to harvest fat from other body areas. This fat is then purified and injected into specific areas that require more volume, such as the buttocks or hips, to enhance the overall shape and achieve a balanced, natural-looking silhouette. This approach tightens and lifts and allows for precise sculpting and volumization for a more comprehensive transformation.

Overall, a body lift involves removing excess skin and sculpting the entire torso to improve the body’s overall proportions and create a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Each type of body lift is designed to address specific concerns and can be tailored to the individual. The choice between these procedures depends on the amount of excess skin, the patient’s anatomy, and desired outcomes. A thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the most appropriate approach for achieving the best possible results.
What is the goal of a body lift procedure?
The goal of a body lift is multifaceted, aimed at enhancing the overall shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Here’s what a comprehensive body lift seeks to achieve:

Whether you’re a candidate for a body lift or a tummy tuck depends on several factors related to your body’s current condition and past health history. You might be a candidate for a body lift if you have:
Skin Laxity on Thighs and Buttocks:
You have noticeable skin laxity along the lateral thighs and buttock droopiness. Unlike a tummy tuck, a body lift addresses the lower body circumferentially, lifting the thigh and buttock areas.
History of Significant Weight Loss:
You have had significant weight loss, resulting in considerable excess skin. A tummy tuck addresses the front abdominal area, whereas a body lift addresses excess skin that extends around the hips and lower back.
Global Poor Skin Elasticity:
You’ve observed that your skin’s elasticity is poor overall, not just in the abdominal area. This is common after massive weight loss and can affect the entire torso.
Prioritizing satisfaction
With our proven process at Neaman Plastic Surgery, which includes thorough consultations, physical assessments, sizer trials, and the use of patient’s ideal before and after pictures during surgery, our track record speaks volumes. We are proud to share that our revision rate for size dissatisfaction is less than 0.5%. At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we prioritize your satisfaction and are committed to delivering beautiful and customized outcomes that genuinely reflect your desires.
Start Your JourneyPain control following a body lift
Pain control following a body lift is crucial to postoperative care to ensure patient comfort and promote recovery. There are various pain management strategies available, and among them, Exparel and TAP (Transversus Abdominis Plane) blocks with Exparel are notable options:
Exparel and TAP for Pain Control
Exparel
Exparel is a long-acting, non-opioid pain medication that is injected into the surgical site during the procedure. It is a local anesthetic that works by slowly releasing bupivacaine, which numbs the area for up to 72 hours post-surgery. The main advantage of Exparel is its extended release, which reduces the need for additional opioid medications that can have side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation, and the potential for addiction.
TAP Blocks with Exparel
TAP blocks are a type of regional anesthesia that involves injecting anesthetic near the nerves in the abdominal wall. When used with Exparel, the TAP block can provide targeted and prolonged pain relief to the abdominal area after a body lift. Combining a TAP block with Exparel allows for more extensive diffusion of the anesthetic across the nerve plane, potentially providing more effective pain control in the initial days after surgery.
Both options aim to manage postoperative pain effectively. Still, the choice between Exparel alone and TAP blocks with Exparel may depend on various factors, including the extent of the body lift, patient pain tolerance, and the surgeon’s recommendation based on their experience and the patient’s individual needs.
Patients need to discuss pain control options with their surgeon before the body lift procedure to understand the benefits and risks of each method and develop a pain management plan that ensures maximum comfort during the recovery period.
What do we consider a good result following a body lift?
At Neaman Plastic Surgery, we define a good result following a body lift by several critical aesthetic and functional criteria, ensuring that our patients feel confident and satisfied with their new body contours. Here’s what we strive for:
Some Key Indicators of Good Results
Low Incision Placement:
We meticulously plan the incision to be low enough to be easily concealed by a two-piece bathing suit. This careful placement also allows us to address and improve the appearance of the mons area.
Nicely Shaped Belly Button:
An aesthetically pleasing belly button is a hallmark of a successful body lift. We encourage our patients to examine before and after photos closely, and we’re proud to showcase examples of our work that highlight beautifully reconstructed belly buttons.
Hourglass Figure:
Achieving an hourglass shape is critical to our body lifts. We employ aggressive liposuction techniques to sculpt the waist and remove excess fat, paired with the appropriate removal of skin to accentuate natural curves. Aggressive muscle repair is also essential for creating this coveted shape, as it tightens the core and defines the waistline.
Lifted and Shaped Buttocks:
A lifted buttock is essential for a youthful and balanced profile. Our approach ensures that the buttocks are lifted and appropriately shaped to complement the overall body lift result.
Exceptional outcomes
At Neaman Plastic Surgery, our unwavering commitment to exceptional outcomes and patient-centric care drives us to deliver the highest quality surgical results. We believe in achieving your desired aesthetic goals while maintaining the natural integrity of your appearance. With our expert approach, we help you realize your aesthetic aspirations with confidence and elegance, empowering you to embrace your enhanced beauty.
