Body Lift in Main Line Philadelphia, PA & Somers Point, NJ

Significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging can leave behind loose skin and uneven contours in multiple areas of the body. Even with exercise and healthy eating, stretched skin often cannot tighten on its own. A body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, reshapes underlying tissue, and smooths the body’s contours for a more proportionate appearance.

At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers body lift surgery for patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ. This procedure is often part of an overall excess skin removal plan to help patients feel more confident in their new shape.

What Is a Body Lift?

A body lift is designed to improve the tone and shape of the body by addressing loose skin and residual fat in multiple areas at once. It often focuses on the:

  • Abdomen
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Lower back
  • Buttocks
  • Outer thighs

This surgery can be especially beneficial after major weight loss, when excess skin can cause discomfort, limit clothing options, and hide your true results.

How the Procedure Works

A body lift is typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Brandow makes carefully planned incisions that allow him to remove excess skin and tighten the remaining skin for a smoother contour. Liposuction may be included to refine the shape.

Recovery generally involves:

  • Wearing compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling
  • Avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks
  • Gradual improvement in contour as swelling subsides

Scars are an expected part of the procedure, but Dr. Brandow places incisions in locations that can be hidden by most clothing and swimwear.

Who Is a Candidate for a Body Lift?

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have significant loose or hanging skin in multiple areas
  • Are at or near a stable weight
  • Are in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about results and scarring

A body lift can be performed on its own or combined with other procedures like a breast lift, thigh lift, or arm lift for a more complete transformation.
