You may be a good candidate for a body lift in Louisiana if you:

Your surgeon customizes each body lift procedure to your unique anatomy and goals. A lower body lift focuses on the abdomen, hips, lower back, and buttocks, while an upper body lift addresses the upper back, chest, and sometimes the arms. Both approaches remove excess skin, reshape contours, and may incorporate fat removal for enhanced results.

Trust Your Tummy Tuck to Experts

Successful tummy tuck surgery requires the skill of body contouring specialists, such as Dr. Jonathan Weiler, Dr. M’liss Hogan, and Dr. Daniel Womac. The plastic surgeons at Weiler Plastic Surgery share a passion for helping patients look and feel their best. They produce consistently excellent results that attract tummy tuck patients from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Covington, Metairie, New Orleans, and throughout Louisiana.

What is an upper body lift bra strap excision?

An upper body lift bra strap excision improves the upper to mid back around the bra strap area, targeting frustrating bra line rolls and bulges. It typically combines liposuction of the back with the removal of targeted, excess skin.

How long is the recovery after a body lift? 

Most patients require 1 to 2 weeks of downtime before returning to work. You must refrain from other activities for a few more weeks and avoid strenuous activity and weightlifting for several weeks. Compression garments minimize swelling and support healing.  Final results emerge gradually as swelling subsides. While scars are discreetly placed, they fade significantly over time

How long does a body lift last?

Body lift results are permanent. However, to preserve your svelte physique, it’s essential to maintain a consistent weight and healthy lifestyle habits.

BEFORE & AFTER

BEFORE & AFTER

It’s essential to have realistic expectations. A body lift is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution. Body lift candidates must maintain a healthy, stable weight to ensure long-term results.

  • Have significant skin laxity due to substantial weight loss 
  • Have been at a stable weight for at least 6 months 
  • Are a nonsmoker in good general health 
  • Have a BMI of 30 or below, or your surgeon deems you low risk
  • Are bothered by skin folds, discomfort, or difficulty with clothing fit
  • Are experiencing mobility issues due to excess, hanging skin
  • Desire smoother contours and improved body confidence

A lower body lift may include:

  • Circumferential incisions placed low on the torso for discreet scarring
  • Liposuction to remove stubborn fat and enhance contours
  • Skin tightening to reveal smoother, more defined curves

An upper body lift may include:

  • Incisions along the upper back or chest, often placed to be hidden under clothing or bras
  • Removal of excess skin (and incidental fat) from the upper torso and back rolls
  • Lifting and tightening the chest area and smoothing bulges along the bra line
  • Optional arm lift or breast lift for comprehensive upper body contouring
