A total body lift is sometimes referred to as a circumferential body lift or an upper and lower body lift. It is a major operation involving the removal of areas of excess skin and soft tissue, particularly of the abdomen and lower back areas.
It may involve lifting the whole abdominal skin, repositioning of the belly button and tightening of the abdominal muscles and also lifting of the buttock skin and repositioning.
A total body lift procedure can cover numerous individual procedures such as liposuction, thigh lifts, buttock lifts, arm lifts and tummy tucks as a whole operation.
Total body lift surgery is used for patients with excess skin over their bodies and is especially helpful for patients following considerable weight loss and who may, as a result, have lost skin elasticity. Excess skin can cause chafing and discomfort, as well as prevent patients from wearing clothes in a smaller size.
