Welcome to bodyliftsurgery.co.uk, a part of Aurora Cosmetic Surgery Clinics. Our team is a dedicated and exceptionally qualified group of cosmetic surgeons headed by Mr Adrian Richards, specialising in surgical body lifts as well as the individual thigh lift, breast lift, and arm lift procedures for both men and women. Our patients have reported visibly amazing results with successful recovery and minimal side effects on a consistent basis.

The rising popularity of rapid weight loss surgical procedures and dieting regimens leads to the increasing demand of body lift procedures to remove the flabby, loose skin that can be the unpleasing souvenirs of significant loss of weight due to loss of skin elasticity. These folds of skin may even hang out from under a tank top or above low cut jeans. Body lift surgery may be the ideal solution to this saggy skin that results after large amounts of weight loss, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance and a more aesthetically pleasing body.

body lift surgery introduction

Body lift procedures are performed under general anaesthesia, and typically take from 3 to 7 hours. The surgeon will remove excess fat and skin using incisions that will generally be hidden under underwear and swimwear. After the excision wounds are closed, the surgeon can use excess tissue or an upward pushing force to lift areas, such as the breasts or buttocks, as needed. Excision is often combined with liposuction for a more thorough removal of undesired fat. A surgical drain may be utilised to remove additional internal fluid that can collect in the body cavities during surgery.

The patient may need to stay in the hospital for one or two days, or even longer depending on the intensity of the procedure and the amount of fat and skin removed. For this operation, the recovery period before the patient can fully resume exercise is normally around six to eight weeks.

A combination of a thigh lift, breast lift, and arm lift operations are performed in a similar way as described for the complete body lift. The scar for the thigh lift runs on the inside of the thighs from the knee to the groin area, and for the arm lift this scar will be from the inside of the elbow to the armpit. Breast lift scars will run from under the nipple to and around the bottom breast fold. Your surgeon will minimise the amount of scars created and make incisions in regions that will be as inconspicuous as possible.

body lift surgery before

Before a body lift procedure, you will engage in a detailed discussion with your surgeon in the first consultations involving what exactly about your appearance you wish to change, including your expectations of the body lift. It is essential to set your appearance priorities with your surgeon, and this will facilitate the process of determining the best individualised body lift procedure for you. During the consultation, you will also receive a detailed quote of the surgery’s cost and your overall fitness, as well as medical history, will be evaluated.

Your surgeon may also, in the initial or second consultation, make measurements of your body or take photographs for surgical calculations and record purposes. You will have a thorough idea of what the surgery will entail, benefits, procedures to be used, risks and complications, most likely outcome, and recovery time before you decide to undergo the operation. Since the days leading up to the surgery are crucial to the success of the procedure and a quick recovery, during the consultation, your surgeon will provide guidelines on diet, vitamin intake, medication usage, and smoking. It is essential that you follow these guidelines.
