BODYLIFT

The skin is naturally very stretchable and elastic. But if it has been stretched very much, such as in the case of overweight or after pregnancy, it is often no longer able to recover completely. The result is sagging skin aprons, which many people find unpleasant and would prefer to hide. With a body lift, the experienced specialists in plastic and cosmetic surgery in our clinic can remove the hanging parts, suction out fat and thus create a taut, slim silhouette. The goal is to make you feel comfortable in your body again and to emphasize it with confidence. The lift is particularly suitable for the back, abdomen, buttocks and thigh areas, which can be treated at the same time. For women, our renowned team can combine the lift with a breast lift or breast augmentation at the same time. The procedure can also do something for your physical health: Sagging skin puts you at some risk for skin irritation and fungus, especially when there is skin on skin as with larger skin folds. With the full body lift, our experienced team removes the excess skin so that this risk is reduced.

Especially, the surgery is aimed at people who have lost a lot of weight due to dieting, a gastric balloon or a gastric band, or also women after pregnancy, when their skin no longer recedes. The body lift is suitable for men and women to the same extent.

Before you make an appointment for a body lift, you will receive a detailed consultation with one of our experienced plastic and cosmetic surgery specialists. In this you will discuss how you would like your body to look. Based on this, you will determine together if the body lift is the right option for you. You will then learn how the treatment will proceed and what you should keep in mind after the operation. You will also receive information about what realistic results are possible with the lift. Your consulting physician will answer all your questions. If you decide to have the procedure, you will then make an appointment with our team for the surgery.

On the day of treatment you will come to our clinic, the MEDICAL INN center. Your attending specialist will discuss the procedure with you again and mark the places where the incisions will be located later. He will take care to place them in the most inconspicuous places possible. The plastic aesthetic procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not notice anything. Depending on how many body parts you want to tighten, it lasts 4-6 hours. After the surgery you will receive compression underwear. This will help your body adjust to the slim silhouette and may reduce swelling. You should wear these for about 8 weeks to give your body the best possible support. You will spend 1-2 days in our clinic for monitoring, as the body lift is a major procedure.

When you are discharged home, you should still allow time for yourself and your body to regenerate and heal. You can return to work or school after about 4 weeks, depending on your profession. You can also slowly begin your exercise program again after about 8 weeks. It is important that you wear the compression garment reliably to positively influence the result. This result is already visible directly after the surgery. However, you will not see the long term until the swelling and hematomas have receded.

A body lift is different for each of our patients, as different areas of the body are treated and various other operations are combined with it. If you describe your wishes to us in a consultation, we can provide you with a concrete cost estimate.

In a few cases, some health insurance companies cover all costs of the body lift if there is an important medical reason. We will inform you about this and will be happy to assist you with the application process.

The lift provides skin tightening of your body. The center of this is often a tummy tuck. To achieve an even better and slimmer result, we can remove stubborn fat with liposuction. Breast lift or breast augmentation are also popular among women who want to achieve an all-around aesthetic body image in just one surgery. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yes. As with any other surgery, scars remain after the body lift. However, our renowned team of plastic and cosmetic surgery specialists place them in such a way that they will hardly be visible in everyday clothing. Often the incision is positioned around the hips so that it is covered by underwear.

Risks can occur during surgical treatment. However, they are very rare in a body lift. Infections, wound healing disorders or severe hematoma formation can also occur. Contact us if you notice any risks or are unsure about the care of your scars. Our experienced team will be at your disposal with advice after the surgery and will treat the consequences of complications.
