The body lift
After severe weight loss, not only the abdomen, but also the buttocks and thigh skin may hang on the outside. The skin has lost its elasticity and does not regress.
The excess and sagging skin can be removed by body lifting.
The operation is divided into 3 parts:
Rear body lift
Front body lift
Lateral body lift
The following body zones are considered:
Belly and waist
Thigh
Buttocks, respectively buttocks area
Chest

Frequently asked questions
The questions and answers listed here are frequently requested examples and not a conclusive clarification. Your reading is not a substitute for an individual consultation. During this consultation, all relevant risks and possible side effects are explained in detail.
The body lift is performed under anesthesia. Mobility after surgery may be somewhat limited due to a feeling of tightness and pain. The hospital stay varies from one to three days. After surgery, a compression girdle must be worn for a period of six weeks.
Medications that have a blood-thinning effect must be discontinued before surgery.
The scars on the back begin above the gluteal fold, arc to both iliac crests, and then merge with the abdominoplasty scar pattern.
They can have a not inconsiderable influence on a complication-free healing process. This begins before the operation with the renunciation of nicotine, which should also be continued after the operation in order to avoid wound healing disorders. Especially in body lift, the complication rate regarding wound healing disorders is significantly higher in nicotine abusers compared to non-smokers.
You should also avoid physical exertion and activities for six weeks after surgery. The same applies to direct sunlight.
During body lifting, a lot of tissue is mobilized and tightened, so despite wound drainage and compression by the girdle, bruising and wound water formation can occur, which must then be relieved. Wound healing disorders, although rare, are significantly increased in smokers. Sometimes there are wound healing problems over the gluteal fold.
