A sleek, toned appearance can be achieved with a body lift by Dr. Shahin Fazilat at SF | Bay Area Plastic Surgery. A body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy or circumferential abdominoplasty, is a popular procedure performed by Dr. Fazilat to remove excess skin and fat from your abdomen, torso, arms, thighs and other areas where loose or unwanted skin/fat is found. A body lift can tone the abdomen, back, buttocks, hips, and inner/outer thighs. The best candidates for this surgery are those who usually have loose skin on many or most areas of the body as a result of age, from childbearing, or significant weight loss from diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery.
The SF | Bay Area Plastic Surgery Difference
Our body lift surgery is a common procedure that Dr. Fazilat performs in his two practices in the Bay Area. Typically, operations are performed under general anesthesia with a certified anesthesiologist; surgical times are 4 to 8 hours. During the surgery, Dr. Fazilat will make incisions to remove excess skin and fat from the areas desired by you.
Some of Dr. Fazilat’s patients also have their surgery combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift, an arm lift, or laser liposuction to enhance their bodies.
