Body Lift

Candidates for body lifts typically either cannot lose significant amounts of weight, or already suffer from loose (inelastic) skin on many or most areas of the body as a result of age, childbearing or extreme weight loss due to diet, exercise or bariatric surgery. Because of this, the procedure is often combined with others such as breast lifts, facelifts and arm lifts to retain a proper body proportion.

What happens during surgery?

During the procedure, skin is lifted from underlying tissue, muscles are tightened and stitched and fat is removed where necessary, and the skin is sutured closed. The navel is often removed and replaced in its new position.

What is recovery like?

Surgical tubes may be needed for a few days to drain any fluid, and patients may need to wear compression garments for a few weeks to facilitate faster healing. Patients are encouraged to walk as soon as they are able, although strenuous activities must be limited for about a month. Results are visible immediately but improvement may continue for some time. Full recovery may take a few months.

“ONE OF THE BEST BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEONS”

As a journalist I have interviewed hundreds of medical professionals. Without a doubt Dr. Davis is one of the best Board Certified Plastic Surgeons I have encountered. His knowledge and patient care is truly above the rest. It’s no surprise Dr. Davis has been recognized as a “Top Doc” in Southern New Jersey.
