Body Lift San Francisco, CA | Judge MD

Body Lift Overview

Age, childbirth, and significant weight loss can dramatically impact skin appearance, often resulting in loose, excess skin across multiple body areas. After achieving substantial weight loss through diet and exercise, patients may feel discouraged by remaining skin laxity. Dr. Judge recognizes how sagging skin can negatively affect patient confidence and self-perception.

Each body lift procedure is uniquely tailored to individual patient needs. The surgical approach combines surgical precision with artistic vision, focusing on transforming both physical appearance and patient psychology. During the procedure, excess and loose skin is removed from the abdomen and torso, revealing a tighter, more youthful contour.
