Body Lift
A body lift is a comprehensive contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin, tighten underlying tissue, and restore smooth, balanced body contours — especially after significant weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.
At our Jacksonville, FL plastic surgery practice, our board-certified surgeons perform lower, circumferential, and posterior body lifts to help patients achieve lasting improvements in tone, proportion, and comfort. Each procedure is customized to your body’s needs and aesthetic goals, restoring both physical and emotional confidence.
A body lift focuses on tightening and reshaping multiple areas of the lower body to enhance overall contour and balance. The specific approach depends on your anatomy, goals, and areas of concern.
Body lift surgery is best suited for individuals seeking to restore body shape and skin tightness after significant weight fluctuations or aging.
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
A body lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take four to six hours, depending on the areas being treated.
During your procedure:
Your surgeon will customize the approach based on your anatomy and desired outcomes, ensuring balanced and natural-looking results.
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of your procedure, but most patients return to light activity within two weeks. Swelling and mild soreness are normal and subside gradually over the following weeks.
Typical recovery timeline:

Results are long-lasting when paired with a stable weight, healthy diet, and active lifestyle.
Yes. Many patients combine a body lift with arm lift or breast procedures for complete body contouring after major weight loss.
