Body Lift
Overview
A body lift is an extensive procedure for patients with significant skin laxity after massive weight loss or aging. It removes excess, sagging skin from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs to dramatically reshape and tone the lower body. At Kapital Surgery Center in Miami, we tailor body lift procedures to meet your needs while prioritizing safety and beautiful body contours.
How It Works
A circumferential incision is made around the lower torso. Loose skin and tissue are removed, and the remaining skin is lifted and tightened. Liposuction may be included to improve contour and smoothness. The procedure is often combined with buttock lifts or thigh lifts for a comprehensive transformation.
Ideal Candidates
- Significant weight loss patients with loose, hanging skin

Benefits
- Tighter, more youthful lower body contours

Recovery
Initial recovery is 2–3 weeks, with limited mobility. Full healing can take up to 6–8 weeks. You’ll need to wear compression garments and avoid strenuous activity during recovery.
