Body Lift

Upper Body Lift

This procedure is directed towards the folds of skin of the middle back. Skin removal along the bra line or from the right and left sides can improve the appearance of the back by ridding it of these undesirable skin folds. 

Lower Body Lift (Torsoplasty)

After massive weight loss, skin redundancy extends in the hip area and produces laxity of the buttock area. Incorporating similar features of a tummy tuck, excision of some of the redundant tissue about the hip area as far as the lower back and upper buttock area is accomplished. The lower body lift (torsoplasty) benefits the upper lateral thigh and hip as well as elevates the droop of the buttock area. 

Often after massive weight loss, the subcutaneous tissue of the buttock no longer allows for the rounded, attractive contours associated with the female shape. The upward pull of the torso flattens the rounded contour of the buttock as well. For these reasons, some of the tissue that would otherwise be removed from the posterior hip area can often be maintained and then repositioned to add greater volume to the buttock contour. This procedure is called an autologous buttock augmentation.
