Body lift procedures
Body lift involves several operations that target specifically each part of the body alone. Here are the most common surgical procedures:
Tummy tuck
A tummy tuck is a surgical operation that treats and improves the abdomen area. It removes the excess skin and fat from the abdomen and lifts the underlying muscles. There are three types of abdominoplasty:
-
A mini-tummy tuck is performed with a horizontal incision to treat the lower part of the abdomen.
-
Full tummy tuck targets the lower and upper part of the abdomen and is done through a horizontal or U-shaped incision which is made right above the pubic mound area.
-
Fleur-De-Lis abdominoplasty is a surgery that is done through horizontal and vertical incisions. It has more access to the abdomen area, removing a larger amount of skin than other types.
Breast lift
Breast lift is plastic surgery that is carried out to tighten and reshape the breast through an incision which may take different shapes according to the breast situation. A breast lift can restore a firmer contour with a central position. Furthermore, with this procedure, nipples can be resized to take a normal appearance.
Arm lift
An arm lift is also called a Brachioplasty, which targets the lower part of the upper arm, extending from the underarm to the elbow. The excess skin is cut through either a minimal incision in the axilla area or by an incision along the back of the arm. It reshapes the arm contour and gives it a firmer and smoother appearance.
Buttock lift
A buttock lift is a plastic surgery that is performed to improve buttock contour. It removes the sagging skin and excess fat surgically under general anesthesia. A buttock lift can achieve a smoother, firmer, more natural butt appearance.
Thigh lift
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that sculpts thighs by cutting the sagging skin and removing the excess fat. The incision required for the operation starts from the groin area and extends downward around the back of the thigh or may be limited to the groin area only. A thigh lift can ensure a smoother, firmer, balanced-proportioned contour.
Facelift
A facelift is a popular operation that tightens facial skin, eliminates the signs of aging, and enhances the face contour. It is performed through an incision that begins at the temples, goes around the ear. In some cases, the incision may continue to the lower part of the scalp. A facelift can remove the deep wrinkles and lines in the lower face and neck, ensuring a youthful appearance.
Eyelid lift
An eyelid lift is a surgical procedure that improves the upper and lower eyelids by making an incision in the natural creases.
It eliminates the wrinkles and fine lines around the eyelids, removes fat bags under the eyes, and reshapes eyelid contour, rejuvenating the eyes and enhancing the vision.
Brow lift
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that reduces the frown lines, wrinkles, and vertical creases between the eyebrows. It also raises the sagging brows and restores them to the natural position. The operation requires small incisions made within the hairline or a long incision that is made from ear to ear along the hairline.
