Los Angeles Body Lift

before & after main menu

Sunset’s Los Angeles body lift procedure addresses a serious problem created by major weight loss - with significant weight loss over a relatively short period of time, the remaining skin doesn't always retain the elastic qualities needed to shrink back to a patient's new, smaller shape. This often leaves patients with excessive amounts of hanging skin, which can be corrected with our Los Angeles body lift procedure. Circumferential body lift is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten muscles of the abdominal wall. Los Angeles body lift results can be very, very dramatic, and the scar is hidden in the underwear area. A Los Angeles body lift is a major procedure and therefore it is often done in a hospital.

The circumferential Beverly Hills body lift is not a surgical treatment for being overweight. Obese individual who intend to lose weight should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery, including body lift, until they have been able to maintain their weight loss.

Typical Recovery Time After Body Lift Los Angeles Procedure

After undergoing body lift at our plastic surgery Los Angeles facility, the recovery period is typically longer than after a tummy tuck because of the extent of the internal sewing. Patients typically return to normal activity at approximately 6 to 12 weeks. This is to allow the incisions and surrounding tissues to heal.
