One Incision, and How Far It Travels

What a Body Lift Corrects, and Where It Should Stop

A body lift is not a bigger tummy tuck. It is one continuous incision at the beltline that goes as far around you as the loose skin does — abdomen, flanks, lower back and upper buttock — closing on itself. How far around it needs to go is settled by examination, standing.

One Continuous Incision, and It Closes on Itself

Seen from above at the beltline, the line does not stop — it goes round. A tummy tuck is the same operation performed on the front quarter of the same problem. Correcting the front and leaving the back produces a flat abdomen with a fold behind it, because loose skin does not respect the front of a person.

Best suited for

Skin laxity that carries the whole way round after major weight loss, confirmed standing from the front, side and back rather than assumed from one photograph.

Typical timeline

The longest operation in this category, and you are turned over halfway through. Scope, stay and price are quoted after examination; the anaesthesiologist may split it across two.

  • Front, flanks, lower back and upper buttock in one closure
  • The most extensive scar on this site, placed at the beltline
  • Where the laxity stops at the front, this is a tummy tuck

Why Istanbul

Is It Worth Going to Turkey for a Body Lift?

Yes, and what to verify has nothing to do with geography. Three questions: how far around does the incision need to go, what is my expected theatre time, and who decides whether it fits one anaesthetic?

Post-Bariatric Volume, and What It Teaches

This operation exists for people who have had bariatric surgery, and Istanbul sees them weekly.

Body Lift FAQs

Body Lift: After Major Weight Loss

A body lift removes loose skin all around the lower torso. Here is what it involves.

A body lift is a circumferential operation that removes loose, hanging skin around the lower torso, including the abdomen, flanks and back, while lifting the buttocks and outer thighs. It is most often performed after major weight loss, when excess skin wraps around the body.

A body lift is usually considered for people who have lost a large amount of weight, through diet, exercise or weight loss surgery, and are left with significant loose skin around the waist, hips, buttocks and thighs that affects comfort, hygiene or clothing fit.

Weight should be stable for a sustained period before a body lift, because further weight loss can create new loose skin and weight gain can stretch the results. Stability also indicates that your nutrition and health are ready for a major operation.
