you should wait 12 to 18 months before considering a body lift. This should provide adequate time for you to lose weight and adjust to the necessary diet and lifestyle changes following surgery.

People who have had weight loss surgery often require contouring procedures on various parts of their body, including the face, breast, flank, stomach, thighs and arms. The exact sequence of these multiple surgeries will vary based on individual needs and expectations, as well as the surgeon's style and experience.

The ideal candidate for the body lift procedure exercises regularly, eats a healthy diet and has been at a stable weight for at least three months; but hopefully six. Special laboratory testing is important so that mineral, vitamin and protein deficiencies — which are common in people who have had weight loss surgery — are identified and treated.

Typically, body lift surgery ranges from four to seven hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

Lower body lifts typically begin with the belt-like excision above the buttocks and lateral (outer side) thighs. The thigh skin may be separated to assist in the lift.

After a tight closure, your surgeon will begin the abdominoplasty procedure. He or she will make a horizontal incision along the pubic area and remove the tissues from the underlying muscles to the level of the belly button. Your surgeon will then separate the skin between the belly button and central rib cage. If fat removal is required, he or she will perform liposuction in this area and around the waist.

Once the excess skin has been removed, the surgeon tightens the abdominal wall muscle. This second step of the procedure is one difference between a tummy tuck and a panniculectomy, since the latter only involves removing the excess skin. The remaining skin and fat is moved down from the area above the belly button and sutured in position at the pubic area. Your belly button can then be restored to its original position.

An upper body lift begins with a broad bra-line excision of skin. Once this is securely closed, the back fat rolls are removed and the waist is narrowed. Next, your surgeon may remove any excess skin from under the breasts or hanging over the lower rib cage. The subsequent closure tightens the skin under the breasts. The newly elevated abdominal skin must be deeply sutured to the lower rib cage.

• Arm Lift: An arm lift, or brachioplasty, reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow. This procedure reshapes your arm for a more trim and toned appearance. The arm lift procedure requires two relatively inconspicuous incisions. One is made along the armpit, while the other spans the elbow to the armpit. Your surgeon will remove excess fat with liposuction and trim the excess skin. The remaining skin is pulled together and sutured in place. People who opt for the arm lift procedure will have dressings applied to the incision areas. A medical compression garment may be prescribed for a month.
• Inner Thigh Lift: Typically, the inner thigh lift procedure is performed via an incision made where the thigh meets the groin. In severe cases, a secondary incision extending from the groin to the knee may be necessary. Your surgeon will remove excess fat with liposuction and trim the excess skin. The remaining skin is pulled together and sutured in place. People who have inner thigh lifts will have dressings applied to the incision areas. A medical compression garment will be prescribed for a month.
