What Is a Circumferential Body Lift?

Shedding excess weight can be an amazing experience for your confidence and well-being. But when you lose a significant amount of weight, you may experience undesirable effects like sagging skin and tissue. With a circumferential body lift, you can resolve this unwanted result and achieve the complete weight loss transformation you deserve.

Circumferential body lift is a combination of body contouring procedures that trim excess skin and fat, from your abdomen, lower back, and buttock area, allowing you to achieve a more well-defined physique with more refined contours.

To help you learn more about this transformative procedure, here’s an overview of circumferential body lift in Oklahoma City and how it can help you achieve your goals.

What Is a Circumferential Body Lift?

Circumferential body lift is a combination of procedures that help improve the appearance of sagging skin after weight loss. Also known as a belt lipectomy or lower body lift, the procedure redefines the contours of the abdomen, waist, lower back, hips, and buttocks.

Similar to many other cosmetic treatments after weight loss, circumferential body lift achieves its results by physically removing excess skin and tissue to permanently eliminate loose skin that gets in the way of showing off your new figure. In turn, you achieve a leaner and more youthful appearance after your weight loss journey.

While circumferential body lift may include various treatments, the procedure is highly personalized to fit your specific needs. Dr. Bajaj will evaluate you during your consultation and make recommendations for treatments that directly address your concerns.

Which Surgeries Are Included in Circumference Body Lift?

Circumferential body lift includes several surgeries to address sagging skin and tissue from the waist down. These procedures may include a tummy tuck, posterior body lift, and thigh lift.

During each of these procedures, your plastic surgeon uses precise techniques to:

• Excise loose skin
• Tighten weakened tissue
• Define the new contours of your figure

Choosing the appropriate body contouring procedures to address the areas you find most bothersome greatly depends on your personal goals. After discussing your concerns with Dr. Bajaj, you can determine which treatments are best for you.

Even though a circumferential body lift combines multiple plastic surgeries, they might not always be performed simultaneously. Sometimes, this happens because the recovery process of certain procedures may call for them to be performed separately, anesthesia time constraints, the amount of tissue removed, or the number of overall procedures. Dr. Bajaj will discuss the ways in which you can stage your body contouring procedures during your personalized consultation.

What Are the Benefits of Circumferential Body Lift?

Circumferential body lift can provide you with various benefits that include:

• Eliminating sagging skin
• Adding definition to your figure
• Helping you obtain a more youthful appearance
• Boosting your confidence
• Allowing you to enjoy your weight loss efforts

What to Expect from Circumferential Body Lift Treatments?

Circumferential body lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning that you can go home the same day. However, you may need someone to stay with you for the first 24-48 hours after your surgery to help with your recovery.

Due to the extensive and targeted effects of body lift treatments, your surgeries might be scheduled a few months apart. This “staging” of the procedure ensures your health isn’t compromised, but you still achieve the positively stunning results you want for your figure.

During your surgery, Dr. Bajaj will remove the excess skin and tissue and reshape the contours of your physique by carefully draping your skin and tightening the underlying tissue. Performing a body lift is as much an artistic process as a scientific one, which calls for your Dr. Bajaj to have an eye for aesthetics and a sharpened skill set for precision.

Most individuals will be off of work for 1-2 weeks and will need to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for approximately 3 weeks.

How Do You Know If You Are a Circumferential Body Lift Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate for a circumferential body lift if:

• You have loose or sagging skin around your abdomen, back, and buttocks
• You are not satisfied with the current look of your figure
• You experience confidence and self-image issues
• You are in overall good health
• You have realistic expectations from the procedure
