Skin laxity and excess tissue are common concerns after significant weight loss or aging. These changes can affect multiple parts of your body and may not respond to standard non-surgical treatments.   

A body lift in Abu Dhabi is a comprehensive surgical approach that removes excess skin and improves your body contour.   

At Elyzee Hospital, we understand you, your expectations, your comfort, and guide you through a body contouring journey that feels informed, supported, and tailored to your goals. 

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from multiple areas of the body, while simultaneously tightening and reshaping the underlying tissue.  It is often recommended for individuals who experience significant weight loss or skin laxity due to aging.  

A body lift in Abu Dhabi targets multiple regions, including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and lower back. 

Types of body lift procedures 

A body lift is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. The types include:  

Lower Body Lift
Focuses on the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and outer thighs to create a smoother lower body contour.
Upper Body Lift
Addresses sagging in the upper arms, chest, and back for improved definition.
Mid Body Lift
Combines elements of both upper and lower lifts depending on individual needs.

Who is a good candidate for a Body Lift in Abu Dhabi?

Body Lift in Abu Dhabi - What to expect?
Pre-procedure guidelines

Preparing carefully for your body lift procedure is the first step for a safe procedure and smooth recovery.    Follow these pre-procedure guidelines:

  • Complete all the medical assessments
  • Inform your surgeon regarding medications or supplements
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol
  • Maintain proper hydration
  • Follow fasting instructions before surgery
  • Arrange for post-surgery support at home. 
The key steps involved in the Body Lift procedure
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia for comfort during the procedure
  • Strategic incisions: Carefully placed to minimize scarring in the targeted regions. 
  • Removing excess skin and fat: Localized fat deposits and excess skin are removed from the targeted areas. Liposuction may be used in this section to refine contours. 
  • Tissue tightening and reshaping: The underlying tissue is tightened and reshaped to achieve a smoother and firmer foundation. 
  • Closure and dressing: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and the scars are typically concealed under clothing.
