A well-toned body with smooth contours is not easy to come by. In order to have a well-toned body, people must practice eating healthy along with an exercise program. However, no matter how healthy the diet or how much exercise a person does it is not possible to achieve desired results. Diet and exercise alone cannot always correct loose, sagging skin or uneven contours. There are many factors that contribute to poor tissue elasticity. Sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and upper arms are all the results of aging, sun damage, pregnancy, fluctuations in body weight and genetic factors.

1.What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that is performed to correct excess loose and sagging skin. A body lift can also address irregular contours of the abdominal area, buttocks, groin, thigh and upper arms.

A body lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. In the body lift procedure, excess sagging fat and skin is removed. The body lift will improve trouble areas caused by poor tissue elasticity. A body lift can also improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface. This condition is commonly known as cellulite.

People who only need to remove excess fat should not choose to have a body lift. If the skin has good elasticity, then liposuction can remove excess fat deposits. However, in cases where the skin has poor elasticity and there is excess fat, a combination of liposuction and body lift is recommended.

Individuals with pronounced soft tissue looseness in one or several body areas may be good candidates for the body lift cosmetic surgery procedure. Body lift candidates should be healthy individuals, non-smokers, with a positive outlook and realistic goals and expectations.
