Saggy hips, thighs, buttoks, and abdomen are a very common phenomena, which happens as a result of: Age, excesive weight loss, pregnancies, and genes.
The way to treat this sagginess is by liposuction and tightening surgery, which includes removal of excess skin and tightening of tissues and muscles.
The body lift concept means that while taking off fat and reshaping the front of the body, it make sense to also shape the backside and the sides of the body to get a better sculptured body with symmetry.

Body Lift Plastic Surgery Procedure: |
The surgeon will recommend the best surgery for each patient, for some abdominplasty will do, some will need also liposuction and some will need the whole package, which is a total body lift of the: abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and hips.
The body lift surgery takes about 10 hours and the patients need to stay 5 days at the hospital.
The surgery is made under general anesthesia. An incision is made on the lower abdomen, excess skin is being removed and the tissues and the muscles are being tightened.
When skin is being raise on the abdomen, the navel is being removed and after the skin is being tightened the navel is being relocated.
It takes about 1-2 month to recover and get back to normal but mild activities. The results will also show after 2 month because of the bruises and swellings from the surgery. The results will be extreme.

Tips for Body Lift Plastic Surgery: |
- Choose your surgeon carefully. Make sure he is certified, train, and experienced.
- Talk to your surgeon to make sure what the best surgery is for your condition. You might not need a whole body lift but maybe just a partial surgery in more specific areas.
- Ask the surgeon and search the internet for risks, results and as much information as you can get.
- Body lift is not a weight loss surgery. A lot of people mistaken when they think they will have the surgery to lose weight. The surgery is made to fix the excess skin and sagginess that occurs because of weight loss, pregnancies and more.
- Ask and look for pictures so you will know what to expect from the surgery.
- Know that after the surgery you will have bruises, pain, swellings, and other marks from the surgery such as scars. You will have to rest for about 1-2 month and the real results will look just after 2 month.
- The body lift surgery is a life changing surgery but not suitable for anyone, consult you surgeon and make sure you tell him everything about your health condition and life style.
