Bodylifting
Body lifting is a complex surgical procedure aimed at correcting the contours of the body by eliminating excess skin and fat. A special feature of body lifting is the ability to simultaneously improve several areas of the body. This procedure is often chosen by those who have lost significant weight and are faced with the problem of sagging skin. When body lifting is performed correctly, the patient receives harmonious and natural body contours.

Body lifting involves not only musculocutaneous plastic surgery, but can also be used in combination with liposuction, a method of removing excess fat deposits. This combination allows you to achieve the most harmonious and natural results.
Depending on the zones being corrected, body lifting performs certain tasks:
- Upper body – the procedure is aimed at improving the contours of the abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms, as well as the back
- Lower body – the technique allows you to improve the shape of the buttocks, hips and lower abdomen
- Full body lifting - combines the goals of the first two directions for global figure correction
Before choosing the type of body lifting, the doctor evaluates the individual characteristics of the patient’s figure. In some cases, to further improve the silhouette, he may recommend mammoplasty or liposuction, if the patient has no contraindications to these techniques.
Indications and contraindications
Among the main restrictions:
- Allergy to anesthetics
- Serious heart or nervous system disease
- Diabetes
- Oncological diseases
- Chronic infections
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Menstruation
If you are planning to become pregnant in the near future, it is better to postpone tummy tuck surgery. During pregnancy, the skin in this area stretches greatly and requires re-correction in the future. Also, plastic surgery can change the properties of the skin, worsening its natural stretching during pregnancy. For women who have already completed their reproductive function, such operations are best suited.
Indications for body lifting include:
- Age-related changes Over time, the skin loses its elasticity, which leads to the formation of folds and loss of pronounced body contours.
- Consequences of pregnancy Often after childbirth, women are left with stretch marks and unaesthetic changes in the abdominal area.
- Fast weight loss Dramatic weight loss is accompanied by the formation of excess skin.
- Carrying out liposuction Sometimes, after removing fat deposits, uneven skin folds form.
- Presence of local fat deposits Sometimes even slender people can encounter wrinkles in certain trap areas.
- Soft tissue ptosis Ptosis can have a different nature and origin. Not every patient is suitable for plastic surgery. During the consultation, the doctor must assess your health status and take into account a number of contraindications.
General information about the procedure
Preparation for body lifting
Before the operation, the patient undergoes a comprehensive examination, which includes:
- Blood and urine tests to determine the general condition of the body
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) - assessment of heart function
- Fluorography - checking the condition of the lungs
- Ultrasound examination - assessment of the condition of the mammary glands, internal organs of the abdominal cavity and the venous bed of the legs
- Consultation with a therapist and anesthesiologist is also necessary to clarify possible risks associated with health and tolerability of anesthesia
If there are temporary contraindications, for example, acute illnesses, the operation should be postponed until complete recovery. The patient must undergo an appropriate course of treatment, and then return to the plastic surgeon.
If the patient is still trying to lose weight, then it is advisable to wait until the weight stabilizes at the optimal level. Skin tightening surgery performed before reaching your desired weight may not have long-term benefits because there is a high chance that the skin will lose its elasticity again as your body weight changes further.
