Body Lift Procedure in Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ
Jump To
If you have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with excess, sagging skin, a body lift procedure in Scottsdale may be the ideal solution. Sumer Daiza, M.D., a double-board-certified plastic and general surgeon, specializes in body lifts. Also known as a belt lipectomy, this procedure removes loose skin around the body, helping you achieve the tighter, fitter figure you’ve worked so hard for.
What Is a Body Lift?
For many, a good diet and regular exercise are rarely enough to restore the body contours that time and gravity have taken away. Furthermore, as we get older, the skin loses its ability to cling to the body like it did before. A body lift is a combination of popular body procedures to help our clients fight signs of aging and the effects of gravity on one’s appearance.
Who Is a Candidate for Body Lift Surgery?
Ideal candidates for a body lift are individuals who have excess, sagging skin around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, lower back, and thighs due to significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the procedure.
A body lift is best suited for those who struggle with loose skin that does not improve with diet and exercise, and who want to restore a firmer, more contoured appearance.
Your Body Lift Consultation
During a consultation, Dr. Daiza will sit with you and detail your body lift options to determine whether or not you’re a good candidate for the procedure. Ideal body lift candidates are typically those who have lost 60 pounds or more and have good overall health. Dr. Daiza may perform a brief exam and go over your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for a body lift.
How Body Lift Surgery Is Performed
A body lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and can take four to eight hours, depending on the target areas. The surgery targets loose, sagging skin around the midsection, lower body, and thighs, making it a common post-weight loss surgery in AZ.
Dr. Daiza makes incisions in strategic locations during the procedure to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and fat are removed to create a firmer, more contoured shape. The remaining skin is tightened and sutured for a smoother appearance. Sometimes, liposuction may be combined with a body lift to enhance results.
Most patients have the procedure as an outpatient surgery, though some may require an overnight stay for monitoring.
Body Lift Recovery & Downtime
The recovery length following a body lift will vary between patients. There will be some swelling, bruising, pain, and discomfort. Pain medication can be provided to help make the recovery period more manageable. Our team will provide you with post-operative instructions before your body lift procedure.
Benefits of Body Lift Surgery
The procedure offers significant results that dramatically alter your body’s shape and contours. In surgery, the excess skin and fat are removed via tummy tuck and liposuction. As a result, the body is lifted and flattened, and patients can enjoy their newfound confidence while feeling more comfortable in clothing.
How Body Lift Surgery Is Performed
The cost will vary depending on the amount of work needed to provide the patient with results that satisfy their needs. During your consultation, Dr. Daiza can tell you the potential cost of your body lift.
