Body Lift

On this page, you will find a guide to the body lift procedure – from the course of the procedure, through indications and preparation, to recovery and possible aesthetic effects. This surgery is intended for people who struggle with excess sagging skin on the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs – most often after significant weight loss or as a result of the aging process.

Body lift (after significant weight loss)

A body lift is an extensive surgical procedure designed for patients after significant weight loss, aiming to remove excess skin and fatty tissue while restoring firmness and balanced body proportions. The surgery typically targets the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, and thighs — areas where loose, sagging skin most often remains after weight reduction. At Luna Clinic, we use advanced techniques that allow for simultaneous tightening of the abdominal wall, lifting of the buttocks, and contouring of the thighs and waist.

The course of the procedure

A body lift is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 4–6 hours.

The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, back, buttocks, and thighs.

The scars are made so that they can be hidden under underwear.

The patient remains in the clinic for 1–2 days after the procedure.

Recovery and post-treatment recommendations:

Wearing special compression garments for a minimum of 6–8 weeks

Restriction of physical activity for 6 weeks

Avoid lifting heavy objects and sudden movements.

Swelling and bruising gradually subside within a few weeks.

Complete healing of scars and final results visible after approximately 6–12 months

Follow-up visits: after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months

Possible complications and risks:

Hematoma, bleeding

Infection

Hypertrophy or discoloration of scars

Serous effusion (fluid accumulation under the skin)
