Body & Contouring

Body Lift

After massive weight loss, hanging skin keeps you covered up. A body lift removes the apron, sculpts a 360° waist, and restores confident movement daily.

Benefits of a Body Lift

  1. Complete skin removal

    Eliminates the hanging apron that causes rashes and hygiene challenges.

  2. 360° contouring

    Flattens the tummy, tightens the back, and lifts the buttocks in one session.

  3. Clothing freedom

    Jeans, fitted shirts, and swimwear finally fit without extra layers or tape.

  4. Mobility & motivation

    Lighter silhouette often sparks renewed exercise and weight-maintenance habits.

Is This the Right Treatment for Me?

  • You’ve maintained your goal weight for 6+ months and your BMI is preferably under 32.

  • Able to arrange 2–3 weeks off work and daily help at home for the first 7–10 days.
  • No uncontrolled diabetes, heart conditions, or nicotine use; lab work and medical clearance completed.
  • Alternatives include staged tummy tuck, thigh lift, or non-surgical skin tightening if downtime or scar length is a concern.

FAQs - Body Lift

How much does a Body Lift cost?
Starts at $23,500, but your final price depends on body areas addressed and whether muscle repair or fat grafting is added. Fee includes your board-certified surgeon, private surgical suite, compression garments, drains, and 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, payments can be as low as $345–$525 per month after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. A body lift is strictly outpatient—you’ll relax in recovery for about 90 minutes, clear safety checks, and head home with a responsible adult to assist you the first night.
Will I need special after-care?
Yes. Expect 2–4 drains for about 10 days, wear a binder 24/7 for 6 weeks, and sleep with pillows under your knees to ease tension. Daily walks prevent clots.
Are there alternative procedures or add-ons?
Common pairings include arm lift, upper back (bra-line) lift, or targeted liposuction for refined definition.
How visible are the scars?
The incision hides in a low belt-line position, covered by underwear or swimwear. Scars mature to thin, pale lines over 12–18 months with silicone, sunscreen, and optional laser therapy.
How painful is recovery?
Discomfort is moderate; a long-acting local anesthetic plus prescription meds keep pain manageable. Most switch to OTC relief by day seven.
When can I return to exercise?
Light walks begin day one, stationary bike at week four, and core/strength work around week eight once cleared.
Can I finance my Body Lift?
Absolutely—Leva Medical offers transparent pricing & flexible financing since 1986.
