POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY BRINGS OUT THE NEW YOU
At Cincinnati Plastic Surgery, we consider the body lift one of the largest and most rewarding procedures in body contouring. While the procedure has many names, but generally consists of a thigh lift, a buttock lift, and possibly a tummy tuck. Many post-bariatric patients receive some kind of body lift following surgery.
Many factors go into someone needing a body lift. Most of the time, genetics plays a role. However, weight gain acts as another common cause because of the overstretching of the skin.
To assess whether you benefit from a body lift as a post-bariatric patient, stand in front of a mirror and pull your lateral thigh and buttock up with both hands. If you pull up a large amount of skin and see significant improvement in the thigh/buttock area, you will benefit from a body lift.
If you have extra skin in the medial thigh area, you’ll need a medial thigh lift. For some, we perform the procedure at the same time as a lower body lift.
