Body lift surgery is an extensive surgical procedure – or series of procedures –  to remove excess skin and fat from the lower body for patients who have lost significant amounts of weight due to childbearing, diet, exercise or bariatric surgery.  A body lift can be performed once weight has stabilized, to improve both comfort and hygiene after massive weight loss. A body lift is often combined with other procedures to retain proper body proportion and improved appearance.



A complete lower body lift treats sagging buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips and outer thighs in one procedure. Incision patterns vary and may include a circumferential incision around the body to remove the "belt" of excess skin and fat. Dr. Asfa often performs body contouring in stages. During your consultation he will thoroughly examine you and discuss your particular condition and goals to determine the best surgical plan for you, whether it involves one or several procedures.
