Should I Include Liposuction With My Full Body Lift?

3 Minute Read: 

Whether through natural diet and exercise or with the aid of bariatric surgery (such as gastric bypass surgery), losing massive amounts of weight is something to be proud of. 

It takes focus and hard work to get rid of excess body fat. And while you will see lower numbers on the scale and be in better health after your weight loss, the unfortunate reality is that losing weight is only the first part of your total body transformation. 

This is because most women and men are left with excessive amounts of skin after significant weight loss, which can severely affect their self-esteem and confidence. 

Several cosmetic procedures are available to remove excess skin from various areas of the body, with a full body lift being one of the most effective and comprehensive procedures. But what if you also have stubborn fat deposits?

Below, we’ll look at how you can remove sagging skin along with stubborn fat so that you look and feel your absolute best.

What Is Full Body Lift Surgery?

Often referred to as post-weight loss surgery, a full body lift targets areas of the body with excess and sagging skin. One of the best aspects of this procedure is that it can be customized to each patient. While some of the most common target areas for a full body lift include the thighs, buttocks, tummy, and lower abdomen, during your consultation, Dr. Bonaldi will examine your condition to determine which areas to include in your body lift. 

How Does Liposuction Work?

Diet and exercise or weight loss surgery removes a significant amount of fat from the body, but subcutaneous fat will remain, keeping you from having the toned appearance you desire. And while a body lift can definitely help you achieve the more contoured body you want, liposuction is needed to remove the remaining fat from the treatment areas to achieve ideal results. 

Liposuction surgery is one of the most well-known and effective plastic surgery procedures available, and one of the reasons for this is that it is such a versatile procedure. Liposuction can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with other surgeries. 

With liposuction, stubborn fat tissue is loosened with a thin tube called a cannula. This loosened fat is then suctioned out of the body, and once the fat is removed, it is gone permanently, which means that you can look forward to long-lasting results. 

Along with a full body lift, liposuction is often included in other procedures, including:

• Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty)
• Thigh lift surgery
• Arm lift surgery (brachioplasty)
• Mommy Makeover surgery

What Results Can I Look Forward to After My Procedure?

After your body lift surgery with liposuction, you can look forward to tighter skin, smoother contours, and greater confidence levels. 

Whether at the pool, around town, or during intimate times with your partner, you’ll be excited to show off your newly toned and contoured body.

Don’t put off achieving your newly sculpted physique any longer!
