Body Lift Surgery Miami

Losing weight is one of the most desired goals for most people around the world. Hectic work schedules, long working hours together without a moment of relaxation/activity, a sedentary lifestyle, a poor diet, and other issues tend to cause obesity. Weight loss can result in a boost of self-esteem and overall feeling of well being. Unfortunately, losing significant weight can cause an unpleasant side effect in the form of sagging or loose skin.  This is where a Body Lift may be right for you.

If you are troubled by this issue, then a body lift procedure under the experienced and skilled hands of Dr. Varkarakis can help you. He offers body lift surgery as a long term solution in his state of the art facility in Miami, Florida for enhancing the shape and tone of your body.

Understanding the Body Lift

A body lift involves one or more surgical techniques, to craft a contoured, toned and firm upper, lower or full body.

Sagging skin and bagginess in numerous areas of the body is common among people who have undergone dramatic weight loss. Frequent weight fluctuation, pregnancy, and natural aging can also result in loose skin. The Body Lift procedure targets specific areas and the results are quite dramatic. Patients can feel comfortable and confident again. Many also experience an overall improvement in their quality of life.

Candidates for a Body Lift

Those who have undergone gastric bypass surgery or have lost large amounts of weight from diet and exercise are good candidate for the body lift.  The best candidates include:

  • Those experiencing sagging tissue in one or more areas due to weight loss or natural aging
  • Individuals committed to a healthy lifestyle consisting of a proper diet and exercise
  • Patients with realistic goals for the procedure
  • Patients that do not smoke are also great candidates

The Procedure

As previously discussed, sagging skin is common among individuals who have lost a great deal of weight. Loose or sagging skin can also be an issue resulting from aging, sun damage, pregnancy or even genetics. A body lift can help contour the body to achieve a desired result. This procedure can augment the appearance and tone of tissue supporting the skin and fat. Body lifting is also very helpful in improving the appearance of irregularities on the skin’s surface such as cellulite.

Target areas for a Body Lift

  • Lower back
  • Abdomen and adjoining areas
  • Buttocks
  • Inner, outer and posterior thigh

What to Expect?

In most cases, patients can see instant results from this pioneering procedure. Bandages cover the treatment site, precisely at the incisions sites.
