What is a Body Lift?

A body lift, also known as a "belt lipectomy," removes excess skin, as well as areas of damage, stretch marks, and fat deposits while repairing and tightening tissue that's lost its elasticity. Every body lift is tailored to the unique needs of each patient, the main targeted areas are the lower abdomen, sides, and lower back, and may include the buttocks and thighs. While minimal stubborn fat deposits may be removed, more extensive fat removal would require liposuction performed in conjunction with the body lift.

The procedure is performed by Dr. Ortiz making a series of small incisions, similar to the general outline of a bikini to remove the excess skin and fat. Then, he will lift, shape, and tighten the remaining tissue in order to achieve a smoother, more toned and contoured physique. Results are visible almost immediately, though the final results may take up to a year to be fully visible.

A body lift may be performed with other procedures, such as an arm lift or breast lift. During your pre-surgery consultations, Dr. Ortiz will discuss these options with you to determine which best meets your needs and will help you achieve the goals you have for how you want your body to look.

Is a Body Lift Right for You?

A body lift is a safe procedure that has helped thousands of women and men complete their weight loss journey and feel confident and happy with their bodies. A body lift may be for you if you have loose, sagging skin around your abdomen, buttocks, and thighs as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, sun damage, or age. In order to maintain your results, it's important that you have reached a stable weight and are not planning on getting pregnant. Otherwise, it may be beneficial to delay the procedure. For your health and safety, you should not smoke, vape, or use nicotine, and are committed to a healthier lifestyle so you can maintain your results and are healthy for a surgical procedure with no additional risks.
