Body lift is a set of plastic surgery procedures fundamental in the recovery of a silhouette particulary for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and back.

Patients who have suffered major weight fluctuations, be it through re-education or correction of eating habits, increased physical exercise, or bariatric surgery, experience tissues losing their quality and becoming flaccid. When this flaccidity is located in the belly, buttocks and lateral thigh, the solution goes through a removal of excess circumferential skin. In the same surgery we can increase the volume of the buttocks, using fat or in a more predictable way using the actual flaccid tissue that is “rolled” inward, designating a technique of buttocks augmentation with a self-prosthesis.

The surgery can cause significant changes in the shape of the body, being usually the first step in the reconstruction of a flaccid body of a person who underwent a great weight loss.

This set of procedures when associated with a circumferential liposculpture through a body lift is designated as a Lipo body lift.
