Total Body Lift

A total body lift addresses excess skin across the full circumference of both the upper and lower body — combining a lower body lift (belt lipectomy) with an upper body lift (back and breast lift) and arm lift in a staged programme. It is the most transformative option for patients with skin excess distributed across multiple body zones after massive weight loss.

Total body lift surgery is performed in carefully planned stages — typically lower body first, then upper body — to ensure safe recovery between procedures. Each stage is a major operation in its own right, and patient selection, nutritional status and timing are critical to the outcome.

Key Benefits

• Addresses skin excess across the full body in a coordinated programme
• Dramatic, lasting improvement in body shape and confidence
• Relief from chronic skin-fold irritation and infection
• Single surgical team manages the entire programme for continuity

Is This Treatment Right For You?

• Post-bariatric patients with skin excess across all body zones
• Patients at stable weight who have completed major weight loss
• Those who have already had a lower body lift and are ready for the upper body
• Medically optimised patients cleared for staged major surgery

What to Expect

Recovery & Aftercare

Each stage requires 2–4 weeks off work. A minimum of 3 months between stages is recommended. The complete result is visible 12–18 months after the final procedure.
