Request A Call Back
When a person loses a significant amount of weight, through gastric bypass, lap band surgery, post-pregnancy, or diet and exercise, they can be left with an abundance of excess skin that cannot possibly conform to the new contours of their body.
A full body lift is a combination of an upper and lower body lift, both of which are used to shape, tone, and trim the abdomen, buttocks, chest, back, thighs, and breasts. Body lifts are usually performed on those with large amounts of loose, hanging skin in multiple areas on the trunk and legs.
Body lift includes these areas:
- Abdominal area – locally or extending around the sides and into the lower back area
- Buttocks
- Thigh – the inner, outer or posterior thigh, or the thigh’s circumference
Who Should Undergo?
Before deciding to undergo body lift surgery, your weight must be relatively stable for at least a year. Body lifts are usually performed on those with large amounts of loose, hanging skin in multiple areas on the trunk and legs.
- Women considering future pregnancies should postpone an abdominal body lift since pregnancy may reduce the procedure’s overall results.
- The best candidates for a body lift are non-smokers who are in generally good health and maintain a stable weight through a commitment to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Why Dr Monisha Kapoor Aesthetics
When considering body lifts, experience matters with specialized training and significant experience. For the best results, you can choose Dr Monisha Kapoor Aesthetics which is first of its kind Centre headed by a woman plastic surgeon trained worldwide and first Indian woman plastic surgeon to be a member of American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon.
During the Procedure
- To begin your lower body lift, Dr Monisha Kapoor will make an incision around the belt-line of your waist, across your lower abdomen, and down your inner thighs.
- The way the procedure is performed is under general anesthesia in a surgical facility and does not require weeks in a hospital to recover.
- The stomach area is of key concern; it may be similar to a more traditional tummy tuck and you’ll love the results of your taut, firm skin.
- Total body lift surgery is helpful for those who have lost skin elasticity all over their body.
Excess skin can cause severe chafing and discomfort, as well as prevent patients from wearing clothes in a smaller size or exercising properly
Healing and Recovery for Body Lift
After surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area where you will be monitored by surgical staff. Although body lifts may in some cases be performed on an outpatient basis, many require an overnight hospital stay. At the very least, you will be required to have someone stay with you for the first 24 hours.
- It is extremely important that you follow Dr Monisha Kapoor’s instructions very closely.
- You will be given medications to control pain and aid recovery.
- The body lift is an extensive surgery and achieving optimal results will require your compliance in your initial home care, follow up, and long-term recovery.
- Within 3-6 Months, most of the swelling should have dissipated.
- You will need to monitor your incisions and change dressings regularly.
- Dr Monisha Kapoor will provide guidelines for the appropriate level of activity as your body heals.
How Long Will the Results Last?
The lift effect from lower-body-lift surgery is permanent, for the most part. The contouring achieved by removal of excess skin and fat is permanent. The undermining, advancement, and tightening of the skin of the thighs and buttocks is also permanent. Naturally, there will be some relaxation of the skin early after surgery and the skin and connective tissues will loosen and sag gradually as you age.
For safety, as well as the most beautiful and healthy outcome, it’s important to return to Dr Monisha Kapoor Clinic for follow-up evaluation at prescribed times and whenever you notice any changes in your body lift. Do not hesitate to contact us when you have any questions or concerns.

Recovery time can vary depending on your procedure. Some sources suggest that you will need four to six weeks of recovery time before returning to normal activities, and you should wait six to eight weeks before exercising.
How painful is a body lift?
It is common to have discomfort, mild burning and numbness around the lower incision after lower body lift.
What is the difference between a tummy tuck and a lower body lift?
A body lift is designed to tighten loose skin or flesh around the body, particularly the lower back, buttocks and the thighs. A tummy tuck, on the other hand, is designed to remove excess fat from the abdominal area.
Is a body lift covered by insurance?
While most plastic surgery procedures are considered elective and aren’t covered by insurance, body lift after weight loss or bariatric surgery might be. Since body lift surgery is often performed for medical and hygiene reasons, in addition to aesthetic, it may be covered by your insurance.
