What Is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the midsection and lower body by removing excess skin, eliminating residual fat, and strengthening underlying tissue. It is commonly performed after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging has caused skin to lose its elasticity. Typical areas treated during a lower body lift in Las Vegas at Cara Plastic Surgery include:

  • Abdomen
  • Hips and flanks
  • Lower back
  • Outer and inner thighs
  • Buttocks

The goal is to restore balance and contour, giving you the smoother lines and toned look that your hard work deserves.

Why Consider a Body Lift in Las Vegas?

Even after reaching your target weight, loose skin and poor tissue tone can hide your results and affect your comfort. A body lift is ideal for patients who want to:

  • Remove excess, hanging skin
  • Lift and reshape sagging buttocks or thighs
  • Improve skin tone and firmness across the lower body
  • Reduce chafing, skin irritation, or hygiene issues
  • Feel more confident in clothing and swimwear

It’s especially popular among post-bariatric patients and those who’ve experienced dramatic body changes after childbirth or aging.

Are You a Candidate for a Body Lift?

You may be a strong candidate for a body lift in Las Vegas if:

  • You’ve lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off
  • You have excess skin and residual fat in your midsection or thighs
  • You are in good physical health and a non-smoker
  • You have realistic expectations for recovery and results
  • You’re committed to maintaining a healthy, stable weight long-term

During your consultation, Dr. David Kahng will evaluate your skin elasticity, muscle tone, and overall goals to determine the right surgical approach for you.

What Happens During a Body Lift Procedure?

Performed under general anesthesia at our AAAASF-accredited Las Vegas surgical center, a body lift typically involves:

  • Low-lying, bikini-line incisions for discreet results
  • Removal of excess skin and stubborn fat
  • Tightening of underlying abdominal and flank muscles
  • Lifting and repositioning of the buttocks and thighs
  • Optional liposuction for added contouring

Dr. Kahng uses advanced surgical techniques and internal sutures to support your new contours and minimize scarring.

  • Gradual return to light activity within 10–14 days
  • Swelling and bruising that subside over several weeks
