Body Lift in Great Neck | Dr. Lawrence Lin, MD

Understanding Body Lift Surgery

Significant weight loss through pregnancy, diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery can leave individuals with loose, excess skin. A body lift procedure helps remove excess skin and remaining fat from the upper legs and torso area, providing comprehensive body contouring.

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift Surgery

• Individuals seeking to improve excess skin in stomach, hips, thighs, and buttocks
• Non-smokers in reasonably good health
• Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Body lift procedures at North Shore Center for Plastic Surgery are performed under general anesthesia. The surgery typically takes between three to seven hours, depending on the areas being addressed. During the procedure, excess fat is removed, underlying muscles are tightened, and liposuction may be performed to enhance overall body contour.

Recovery Process

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising following the procedure. Pain is managed with medication, and drainage tubes are typically removed within one week. The complete recovery period ranges from four to six weeks, during which patients will be closely monitored.

Surgical Customization

Each body lift procedure is tailored to the individual patient's specific needs and aesthetic goals. The surgical approach and incision locations are determined during a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Lawrence Lin.
