Atlanta Body Lift

Body Lift Atlanta: 3 convenient locations serving all of metro Atlanta

After massive weight loss, be it from exercise and diet alone, or with the aid of surgical intervention, patients are left with a significant amount of extra skin over their abdomen, flanks, and lower back. There are additional sites of laxity including the upper arms and upper thighs.  A “Body Lift” is a surgical procedure designed to remove that extra loose skin and fat. It usually involves the abdomen, flanks and lower back, but may include the other areas mentioned too.

Before your Body Lift Surgery:

During your consultation, Dr. Yalif  will examine you and discuss with you the surgical options and how best to approach them based on your unique anatomy and concerns. This will include incision placement, potential risks of the surgery and which procedure  is right for you. With your input a surgical plan will be formulated.

Atlanta Body Lift Surgery:

Body Lift surgery is performed in an accredited  facility under general anesthesia. The surgery time varies according to the amount of tissue that needs to be removed.

Body Lift recovery:

Post surgical discomfort is managed with oral pain medication and close follow up will be performed by Dr. Yalif. No sutures have to be removed since the sutures typically will be absorbable. Drains will be present and will be removed in the office. A compression garment may also be placed around your midsection.

Patients typically return to work 1 week after their operation and aerobic exercise can be restarted 4 weeks after surgery.
