Understanding Body Lift Procedures in San Francisco

Body lift procedures have become increasingly prevalent with the rise of successful gastric bypass surgeries. Patients who undergo massive weight loss through surgical or lifestyle interventions often experience significant loose skin that requires comprehensive body contouring.

Comprehensive Body Lift Components

A complete body lift is a combination of three intricate surgical procedures designed to restore body contours:

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
• Medial Thigh Lift
• Buttock Lift

Surgical Approach and Technique

Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery performs body lift procedures in an accredited San Francisco surgery suite. The comprehensive approach addresses multiple body areas to create a smoother, more defined physique.

Detailed Procedure Steps

The abdominoplasty component involves lifting skin above the abdomen and tightening underlying muscle tissues. Excess skin is strategically reduced to create a more defined stomach contour.

Thigh and Buttock Contouring

The medial thigh lift tightens inner thigh skin, reducing excess tissue. In some cases, liposuction may complement the skin removal to enhance contouring. The buttock lift involves removing excess skin and fat while repositioning tissue to restore fullness and shape.

Surgical Considerations

• Incisions strategically placed along the "panty line"
• Performed under general anesthesia
• Ideal for patients with significant weight loss
• Recovery typically requires two weeks

Candidate Evaluation for Body Lift Surgery

The most suitable candidates for body lift surgery are individuals who have recently experienced substantial weight loss and have considerable excess skin. A personalized consultation can determine individual candidacy and expected outcomes.
