What Is The Benefit Of A Body Lift Compared To Just An Abdominoplasty?

Added on 1st May 2021

Abdominoplasty

An abdominoplasty is an operation that removes quite a lot of skin at the front of the abdomen but it doesn’t remove any around the flanks and the buttocks. A fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is an operation where there is a vertical line down the centre alongside a horizontal and it does tend to bring all of the skin in from the sides and helps to rejuvenate the flanks but it doesn’t rejuvenate the buttocks. 

Body Lift

A body lift is where there is total excess and the removal of excess all the way around the body that allows one to be able to specifically reduce the feeling of pinching excess skin towards the back and up the flanks. So, it depends a little bit on the distribution of your fat and skin excess as to whether a body lift is best for you or whether it will be better to have one of the alternatives, so an abdominoplasty or fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. We can discuss that at a consult to run through the pros and cons.
