Post-Weight Loss Contouring

The Definitive Final Step in Your Weight Loss Transformation

Embarking on a major weight loss journey is a monumental achievement. Yet, after reaching your goal, you may be left with a significant amount of loose, sagging skin around the abdomen, back, buttocks, and thighs. This excess skin can cause not only aesthetic dissatisfaction but also functional issues like discomfort, chafing, and skin irritation. Body Lift surgery is a comprehensive solution designed to be the final, rewarding step in your journey, sculpting a new contour that reflects the healthier, more vibrant you.

A Tailored Solution: Types of Body Lifts

A "body lift" is not a single procedure but a category of powerful surgeries that our expert team in Antalya will tailor to your specific needs.

• Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy / 360° Lift): This is the most common procedure for post-weight loss patients. It is a circumferential (360-degree) surgery that addresses the entire midsection. By removing a "belt" of excess skin and fat, it dramatically tightens the abdomen, lifts the outer thighs, and re-contours the buttocks and hips in one integrated operation.

• Upper Body Lift: This procedure targets skin laxity in the upper torso. It is ideal for removing rolls of skin on the upper back (often called a "bra-line back lift"), tightening the chest, and is frequently combined with an Arm Lift for a complete upper body rejuvenation.

The Dramatic, Life-Changing Benefits

• A Complete Body Transformation: Achieve a dramatic improvement that aligns your outer appearance with your weight loss success.

• A Smoother, Tighter Contour: Eliminate the physical and emotional burden of loose, hanging skin.

• Improved Comfort and Health: Significantly reduce or eliminate the discomfort and skin irritation caused by chafing skin folds, making daily movement easier.

Your Body Lift Journey

Undergoing a body lift is a significant decision, and we are committed to providing you with realistic expectations and exceptional care.

• Procedure Duration: As a major operation, a body lift is an extensive procedure that typically takes 4 to 6 hours.

• Recovery and Downtime: A significant recovery period is required. Patients should plan for 3 to 4 weeks away from daily tasks and a longer period before resuming strenuous exercise. Diligent adherence to all post-operative instructions is vital for a smooth recovery.

• Longevity of Results: The removal of excess skin is permanent. As long as you maintain a stable weight, you can enjoy your new contours for a lifetime.

• Scarring and Risks: This surgery involves extensive scars. For a lower body lift, the scar is circumferential, designed to be hidden within the bikini line. While the scars are permanent, they will fade over time. Due to the scale of the surgery, risks such as wound healing problems and fluid buildup are higher than in smaller procedures and will be carefully managed by your surgical team.
