Circumferential Body Lift Procedure in Princeton,NJ and North Brunswick, NJ

A circumferential body lift is a procedure performed to remove unwanted and excess skin and to tighten areas of sagging skin after significant weight loss, often resulting from exercise, diet, illness, weight loss surgery, or other drastic medical or lifestyle changes. When an individual loses weight, the tissue becomes less elastic, and the skin does not contract sufficiently. Inadequate tissue elasticity creates a sagging appearance where skin droops and hangs, resulting in uneven contours. Exercise and diet do not eliminate excess skin.

There is no natural approach an individual can take to correct tissue that has lost its elasticity. To remove loose excess skin and improve the tone and shape of the affected areas, surgery is required. A circumferential body lift procedure targets tissue and fat in the abdomen as well as skin in the buttocks area and around the waist.

The procedure tightens the targeted areas and greatly improves body contour yielding restorative results and a youthful and healthier appearance in the midsection of the body.

When the skin in the lower body sags and hangs in multiple locations rather than just in one area a circumferential body lift can be a highly effective solution.

While other techniques exist to target specific problem areas on the body the circumferential treatment impacts the entire circumference of the midsection. The plastic surgeons remove loose skin and excess fat in the area and reposition the remaining tissue to generate a tightening effect.

The circumferential body lift procedure typically takes between 4 to 6 hours to complete, depending on the extent of the surgery and the specific areas being treated. This extensive procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and sometimes the back, to achieve a more contoured and toned appearance. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that patients are fully comfortable and unaware throughout the process.

Due to the complexity of the procedure, the exact duration can vary based on the patient’s body type, the areas being addressed, and whether additional procedures are being combined. The patient’s overall health and surgical goals will also influence the length of the surgery.

The ideal candidates for a circumferential body lift are patients with a stable weight, are nonsmokers, have good posture, and realistic goals, are willing to make lifestyle changes to promote long-term results from the surgery, and are looking to target sagging skin and body contour issues around the circumference of the lower body.
