Anesthesia

Our surgical team will first administer anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout your body lift procedure.

Incisions

Dr. Zavell will make incisions. Your incision pattern will depend on how much excess skin and fat needs to be removed and from which areas of the body. Due to the nature of the procedure, the incisions may be extensive. However, Dr. Zavell will always try to place them in areas that can be easily concealed with clothing.

Removal

Excess skin and fat are removed from the body, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a tighter look that's free of sagging, wrinkling, and cellulite.

Liposuction

Liposuction may be used to remove additional fat from your body and to sculpt areas like your abdomen, waist, thighs, and buttocks.

Sutures

Dr. Zavell will remove all surgical instruments and place internal sutures to support your new contours. He will also place external sutures to keep the skin together and aid in the healing process.

Amazing Results Are Within Reach Another Body Lift Procedure

Massive weight loss is something to be proud of. If you still have excess skin and fat deposits obscuring your results, Dr. Zavell can perform a body lift to remove them and reveal your new figure.

Serious Complications
