Significant weight loss can leave you healthier, stronger, and with better energy levels, but you may also be dealing with excess skin.  Not only can excess skin prevent you from reaching your aesthetic weight loss goals, it can also cause discomfort from chafing, irritation, and even infections.  Loose skin can even be a barrier to physical activity and achieving fitness and exercise goals.  A body lift in Washington DC aims to remove lax and excess skin, helping you to feel more confident and give you more freedom to live your life the way you want.

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a surgical procedure designed to address significant loose skin after weight loss. This may be due to massive weight loss from bariatric surgery, diet and exercise, weight loss medication, or other factors.  After weight loss, skin may tighten some on it’s own, but after significant weight loss, a body lift in Washington DC is the best option.

Body lift surgery involves lifting and removing excess skin.  Oftentimes this surgery is paired with liposuction to remove excess fat and improve the contours of your body.

A body lift will typically target:

• Abdomen (Tummy Tuck): Removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles.
• Arms (Arm Lift): Removes excess skin from the upper arms.
• Thighs (Thigh Lift): Removes excess skin from the inner or outer thighs.
• Buttocks (Butt Lift): Lifts and shapes the buttocks.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Body Lift in Washington DC?

Wondering if a body lift in Washington DC is right for you?  According to our plastic surgeon, ideal candidates:

• Have reached and maintained a stable weight
• Have significant excess skin in multiple areas of the body
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure

Excess Skin Removal Results: What Can You Expect

A body lift in Washington DC can dramatically improve your body contours, giving you a more toned and sculpted appearance.  Clothes will fit better and exercise may be easier.

It’s important to remember that a body lift is a major surgery and you should plan for several weeks of downtime.  While surgery will help to improve your body, there will be scarring.  At Peel Haus, we offer several treatments that can help to minimize these after you’ve healed.

You’ll see a difference in your body immediately, however full results take time.  It may take several months to up to 2 years before you see full results from your surgery.
