Top Reasons You Need a Body Lift After Massive Weight Loss

Significant weight loss is a radical achievement for anyone who has battled with their weight. When you look in the mirror, do you see a body shape you just don’t love even after all the hard work you put into losing weight? Have you lost significant weight only to find folds of saggy skin hiding your desired body contours? We lose weight to be healthier, fitter and look great, but even after achieving their weight loss goals, many people find that they still need a little help to get the figure they want.

When it comes to completing the weight loss journey, a body lift after massive weight loss can help reveal the underlying figure you’ve been working on so diligently. Also known as a circumferential lipectomy, a body lift removes excess skin, repairs and adjusts the contour of underlying tissues, and removes remaining excess fat to reveal the body you’ve worked so hard to develop.

Eliminates Excess Skin that Causes Skin Irritation

Significant weight loss can expose your skin’s reduced elasticity. That means you may end up with extra skin that is loose, sagging, and dimpled. For those who experience major weight loss, it can be very disheartening when the wonderful body you’ve been working for is hidden behind layers of excess skin.

Not only does this sagging skin prevent you from showing off your thinner, lighter body, but excess skin can also lead to discomfort. In addition to being heavy, sores, rashes, and chafing can all result from excess skin. When you have loose skin rubbing together, you also have an increased risk for skin irritation and even infections. By eliminating the loose skin, we effectively reduce the related skin issues.

Creates A Smoother Body Contour

When you started on your weight loss efforts, you probably had an image in your mind of how your final result would look. Get the body you imagined having when you started working toward your weight loss goal. A body lift procedure is the only way to get rid of excess skin and repair tissues and muscle groups that were affected before and during weight-loss. Ending your journey with a body lift allows you to fully enjoy your new body.

By removing skin folds, you can streamline your body contour to get much closer to the image you had in your mind before you began your journey.
