The Lowdown on Body Lift

The Lowdown on Body Lift

For those who have undergone liposuction, or are researching on possible cosmetic surgeries, body lift is a familiar term.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website, body lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess sagging fat and skin to address skin elasticity issues. It improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Body lift can also help manage stubborn cellulites. It can be done on the abdominal area, buttocks, groin (especially if it sags into the inner thigh) or thighs.

However, it must be noted that body lift is not a procedure for those who want to lose excess fat. Liposuction can remove excess fat deposits but when skin elasticity is poor, it can be combined with body lift to achieve the full effect.
