Body Lift in Abu Dhabi | Elyzee Hospital
Elyzee Hospital is one of the region’s leading centres for body-contouring surgery in Abu Dhabi, specialising in comprehensive Body Lift procedures to remove excess skin and reshape the lower and mid-body after major weight loss.
Body Lift — the secret to a more balanced, sculpted body
A body lift is a transformative procedure for patients who have lost significant weight and are left with redundant skin and lax tissues around the abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs. By removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues and refining contours, a body lift restores proportion, improves comfort and creates a firmer, more natural silhouette.
Benefits of a body lift
- Improved body contours: removes loose skin and reshapes the lower torso for a more defined figure.
- Enhanced confidence: addresses cosmetic and clothing-fit concerns after major weight loss.
- Functional improvement: reduces chafing, skin irritation and hygiene issues related to redundant folds.
- Customisable approach: can be combined with liposuction, thigh lift or gluteal procedures for a complete transformation.
Who is an ideal candidate?
- Stable weight for at least 6–12 months
- Good general health without uncontrolled medical conditions
- Non-smoker (or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery)
- Realistic expectations regarding scars and recovery
Consultation & preparation
At Elyzee Hospital your consultation includes a full medical review, physical assessment and discussion of goals. Typical preparation steps include:
- Medical tests and optimisation of any existing conditions
- Medication review and stopping drugs that increase bleeding risk (e.g., NSAIDs)
- Pre-operative lifestyle advice — nutrition, hydration and smoking cessation
- Planning post-operative care and home support for recovery
What happens during the procedure?
Body lift surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia and may require an overnight stay. Key stages:
- Incision planning: incisions are tailored to the areas treated and placed to be concealed where possible
- Tissue repositioning: excess skin and fat are removed and deeper tissues tightened to restore contour
- Liposuction (if indicated): used to refine zones and improve sculpting
- Closure: multilayer suturing, possible drains and application of compression garments
After the procedure & recovery
- Hospital observation for 24–48 hours may be advised depending on extent
- Pain and swelling are managed with medication and compression garments
- Early walking is encouraged to reduce risk of complications; strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks
- Follow-up visits for wound checks, drain/suture removal and progress assessment
- Scars will mature and fade over months; scar-care guidance is provided
Final result
Final contour and tone become apparent as swelling resolves. Patients typically enjoy a firmer abdomen and improved lower-body proportions. Long-term success depends on weight stability, scar care and a healthy lifestyle.
