Major weight loss can bring many changes to your body. In addition to a smaller figure, weight loss may leave you with loose skin around certain areas of the body. To enjoy a more contoured appearance, a body lift in Silver Spring may be a good fit for you.
At Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, body contouring surgeon Dr. Tsion Berhane and her team provide the highest quality of compassionate and comprehensive care for every patient we see. Together, we can help you feel comfortable and confident in your appearance.
A body lift contours your figure by removing excess skin and fat. This removal improves the shape and tone of skin, fat, and their supporting tissues underneath.
While liposuction may remove fat deposits, body lifts are particularly beneficial in instances where skin elasticity may be poor. Poor skin elasticity can result from:
A Silver Spring body lift will focus on your abdominal area, buttocks, and thighs. We will customize the procedure based on your goals and treatment area.
Though there are similarities between a belt lift and a tummy tuck, there are also key differences that Silver Spring patients need to be aware of. While we design both procedures to remove excess skin and tighten the midsection, a belt lift uses a 360-degree incision to provide additional contouring along your lower abdomen and buttocks.
Ideal candidates for a body lift procedure in Silver Spring:
Dr. Berhane will get to know your medical history and wellness goals to determine if a body lift may benefit you.
Dr. Berhane will explain each step of the body lift surgery so you know what to expect during your Silver Spring procedure and can play an active role in your treatment journey.
Body lift surgery usually begins by making an incision around the circumference of your waist so that we can remove excess skin and fat. In addition, we will reposition the remaining skin and tissues to create a smoother and more contoured appearance.
While you may notice a difference immediately following Silver Spring torso lift surgery, it may take several years for the results to be completely visible. Results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and an active lifestyle. Some surgical scars may remain, and we will let you know what to expect and how to minimize them.
Dr. Berhane will explain how to best care for yourself while recovering from surgery to ensure the best possible results. You should avoid subjecting your surgical incisions to excessive force, motion, swelling, or abrasion in the days following your procedure.
If having loose and excess skin bothers you, there are procedures that can help you achieve your ideal appearance. We will personalize a body lift to your specific health needs and aesthetic goals.
