Body Lift
IN LONG BEACH, CA AND SERVING LA, ORANGE COUNTY AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Excess skin and fat are often left behind after significant weight loss, from both diet and exercise, or after bariatric surgery. Body contouring involves the removal of sagging skin and fat in multiple areas using various techniques. It is most commonly performed on the tummy or midsection, arms, thighs, buttocks, and even the face and neck. A body lift in Long Beach may combine several surgical procedures.
The goal is to improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue and remove excess skin and fat. In regions where the skin has good elasticity and can conform to new body contours, liposuction may be an option for removing excess fat. But where skin elasticity is poor, a combination of skin excision (removal) and liposuction may be recommended.

How Does a Body Lift Work?
Although liposuction is effective at removing fat, it is not able to remove excess skin. The only way to effectively remove excess skin is with a surgical procedure. Having surgery means trading the excess loose skin for a scar. Scars do improve with time, and most patients are very happy to rid themselves of the excess skin for better-fitting clothes and improved self-image.
Am I a Candidate for a Body Lift?
Good Candidates for a body lift include:
- Bariatric surgery patients with significant tissue laxity in multiple body areas
- People who have successfully lost excess weight naturally by diet and exercise where excess skin and fat tissue remains
- You are at or near your ideal or desired body weight, and you have been weight stable for at least six months.
- You must be healthy and have no medical conditions that can impair healing or increase the risks of surgery
- Non-smokers
- You are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle and maintaining a healthy weight and fitness level
You would be well advised to wait until a year after your bariatric surgery or significant weight loss. Studies show that those who wait a year before undergoing a body lift in Long Beach reduce their risk of complications and shorten their hospital stay.
