Body lift

Body lift is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from multiple areas of the torso, commonly including the abdomen, flanks, back, and sometimes the thighs and buttocks. This surgery is often sought after significant weight loss or ageing, which can leave loose, sagging skin that affects comfort, mobility, and the fit of clothing.

Surgery involves removing enough skin and tissue to create a smoother, more contoured body shape. Whilst body lifting surgery can produce transformational results, it is important to recognise that this is often at the expense of long scars, which can be optimised through careful surgery and post-operative care. A personal treatment plan will be discussed to address your concerns, optimise safety and ensure the best possible results.
