Say Goodbye to Sagging Skin.

After significant weight loss, your body may be left with an abundance of loose, sagging skin. This makes it hard to realize the body you’ve worked so hard for, which lies underneath it all. Hard work does pay off – and an Athēnix body lift can help with the details the gym never will.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift surgically enhances the appearance of the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, upper back, pubic area, and hips. For individuals who have undergone substantial weight loss or have excess skin due to factors like aging or pregnancy, the procedure removes surplus skin and fat, tightening and reshaping the remaining tissues to attain a firmer and more youthful aesthetic.

How it Works

Athēnix surgeons create body lift treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. The procedure takes several hours and is conducted in our on-site surgical facility under general anesthesia. It may involve multiple steps scheduled over weeks to ensure optimal healing and results. Our surgeons strategically place incisions to minimize visible scarring while contouring and tightening the body.

Posterior body lift Circumferential body lift Upper body lift Bra line lift Mons lift Lateral thigh lift Upper medial thigh lift Full medial thigh lift with wedge

Posterior body lift

A posterior body lift targets excess skin and fat on the lower back, buttocks, and thighs. It involves an incision along the lower waistline to achieve a more toned, contoured appearance.

Circumferential body lift

A circumferential body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, addresses excess skin and fat around the entire midsection. This comprehensive procedure includes incisions along the waistline.

Upper body lift

The upper body lift involves carefully placed incisions to remove excess skin and fat from the chest, back, and arms. These incisions are strategically located to minimize visible scarring.

Bra line lift

During a bra line lift or bra roll excision, a horizontal incision is made just above or below the bra line. Through this incision, your surgeon eliminates excess skin and fat to contour the remaining tissue.

Mons lift

A mons lift, also known as a monsplasty or pubic lift, involves incisions along the lower abdominal area, targeting the mons pubis region. The surgeon tightens the area while removing excess fat and skin.

Lateral thigh lift

An outer thigh lift, or lateral thigh lift, addresses sagging skin and fat on the outer thigh. Incisions are made along the outer hip and thigh, allowing for skin removal and improved contour.

Upper medial thigh lift

A upper medial thigh lift, also known as an inner thigh lift, focuses on excess skin and fat in the upper inner thigh area. Incisions are typically made in the groin region, concealed within the bikini line.

Full medial thigh lift with wedge

A full medial thigh lift with wedge involves incisions along the inner thigh, forming a wedge-shaped piece of skin and tissue for removal. This technique tightens the inner thigh area for improved contour.

Your Recovery Process

Recovery from a body lift typically spans several weeks, although you will be returning for routine follow-up visits to monitor your healing progress. Most patients can return to daily activities within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the extent of the procedure. You'll be advised to wear compression garments to aid with swelling and avoid strenuous activities. Prescribed medication will help you manage pain.

Renewed Results

A body lift can renew your figure by removing excess skin and fat from places where diet and exercise cannot target. Patients enjoy a firmer, more youthful appearance with improved proportions and new clothing possibilities. Results are immediately noticeable but continue to improve as swelling subsides and scars fade. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle ensures long-lasting, satisfying outcomes.
