Medical Benefits of Body Lift after Large Weight Loss

Posted on by Dr Carmen Munteanu FRACS (Plas)

How can Body Lift Surgery help with excess loose skin?

Massive weight loss can, sometimes, result in excessive tissue that creates areas of saggy skin around hips, buttocks, abdomen, things and waist. The reason for this is that the skin & cutaneous tissue fails to contract after massive weight loss. This results in loose, hanging excess skin. Although diet & exercise or obesity surgery to lose weight can help you get in shape, these things don’t help in getting rid of the sagging skin folds you develop after weight loss. 

This is where Body Lifting and Body Contouring Surgery can really help. There are many benefits of Body Lift surgery. A Body Lift can alter many areas like the abdomen, arms, breasts, thighs, and buttocks.
