MALE BODY LIFT IN
NEW YORK CITY

A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that addresses excess tissue and fat in patients who have lost extreme amounts of weight, especially those who have undergone bariatric or gastric bypass surgery. For these men and women, exercise cannot eliminate the skin that has lost its elasticity.

We customize each body lift procedure to the patient and their unique needs for the abdomen, buttocks, back, and thighs.

Thigh lift surgery is performed on women and men to:

• Eliminate sagging or hanging skin resulting from weight loss

• Reduce remaining pockets of fat

• Tighten and sculpt body contours to highlight your weight loss

• Expand wardrobe opportunities

• Increase your confidence

Massive weight loss is an amazing accomplishment that should be rewarded with a healthier life and a more confident outlook.

For many, the excess skin that remains after weight loss restricts movement, comfortable dressing, and prevents complete enjoyment of the weight loss. Our surgeons recommend that patients maintain their weight loss for a minimum of six months to a year before choosing a body lift. At New Look New Life, we pride ourselves on tailoring the safest and most effective cosmetic treatments to each individual patient. Drawing on our surgeons’ general surgery backgrounds, they often recommend that patients undergo body lift procedures in two or more stages.

Anesthesia risks are reduced, and the recovery is more manageable.

A body lift is a comprehensive body contouring surgery that combines many surgical techniques. Because of this, our cosmetic surgery experts often suggest staggering your surgical procedure, with a lower body lift being performed separately from an upper body lift.

Your lower body lift will likely include a tummy tuck, thigh lifts, and a butt lift or buttocks enhancement.

• Tummy tuck surgery addresses the abdomen by trimming excess skin, removing fat pockets, and tightening abdominal muscles.

• Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin and fat from the inner and outer thigh.

• Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits across the body.

Butt lift surgery removes excess skin around the buttocks and lower back. Butt enhancement surgery, with the Brazilian Butt Lift, reshapes the buttocks by grafting fat that has been taken elsewhere from your body. This creates a fuller, shapelier backside.

Your upper body lift will include a chest or breast lift, back lift, and arm lifts.

• Breast lift surgery tightens breast skin and tissue to raise sagging breasts. This surgery also repositions and resizes the areolas.

• Arm lift surgery trims excess skin and fat from the upper arms.

• Back lift surgery addresses excess skin in the back area.

Our surgeons will skillfully make as few incisions as possible, removing excess fat and skin as is suitable for your body. Their dedication to natural contouring and appropriate size reduction will give you the slender, tighter appearance you desire.

A total body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure performed in a hospital setting. Patients who undergo this type of body lift surgery will spend a few days recovering in the hospital prior to returning home to rest.

For patients who choose to stage their body lift procedures, an overnight stay is not required. If you choose to have a total body lift, then you will require an overnight hospital stay.

Body lift recovery requires one to two weeks if done in stages. A total body lift requires a significant amount of additional rest and recovery time.

You will be provided with a specific recovery plan that takes all of your surgical techniques into account. It is important to rest during your recovery and not push yourself too soon. Failure to follow this could result in a prolonged healing period with post-surgical complications.

Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons provide all of their patients with their cell phone numbers so that they can be reached at any time during your recovery.

Body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and you will feel no pain during the surgery itself. Because body lift surgery is extensive, it is expected to develop discomfort and pain in the days and weeks following your procedure. The extent of this will depend on whether you staggered your procedures or had the surgeries performed simultaneously.

Your cosmetic surgeon will prescribe pain medication to ease any discomfort.

Your body lift requires incisions; therefore, the surgery will result in scars. The placement and extent of this scarring will depend on the types of surgical techniques being performed in your body lift and the amount of skin removed. The board-certified cosmetic surgeons at New Look New Life do everything they can to make these incisions as hidden and concealable as possible.

All scars fade with time and can be lessened with scar-fading treatments. Please be sure to keep your healing incisions out of the sun, as this can darken their pigment.

Because a body lift is personalized to your needs, the cost of your surgery varies significantly. Our expert team at New Look New Life will provide you with an accurate cost estimate once your surgical plan has been determined. This price will include all the techniques combined as well as anesthesia, facility and operating room fees, required garments, and follow-up visits.

We offer financing options through CareCredit® to assist you in paying for your thigh lift in New York.

Whether performed as a total procedure or staged in sections, body lift results are immediate and significant. As with most cosmetic procedures, your enhanced body will continue to improve throughout the healing process.

Body lift surgery is an invasive procedure performed under general anesthesia. Therefore, it is important to quit smoking, reduce alcohol intake, and temporarily stop blood-thinning medication use (such as NSAIDs, aspirin, and ibuprofen). Also, patients undergoing body lifts after weight loss should have reached and maintained a stable weight.

Please speak with your prescribing doctor to be sure it is safe for you to pause medication use. 

Because body lift surgery requires downtime, it helps to arrange for help during your recovery. This includes scheduling time off work and your required activities, arranging for childcare, stocking up on healthy meals, and setting up a comfortable recovery zone.

Body lift surgery is very safe when performed by the experienced cosmetic surgery team at New Look New Life. Unfortunately, there is no way to eliminate surgical risk.

These risks may include:

• Adverse reactions to anesthesia

• Blood clots

• Infection

• Bleeding

Proper adherence to recovery guidelines is important to prevent wound separation or the need for additional wound care. Patients experiencing any unusual or concerning symptoms are advised to call their surgeon’s cell phone immediately.

During your initial consultation, we listen to your body goals and present you with a range of cosmetic procedures that might be right for you. We will give you a thorough understanding of your options that might include liposuction, Lunchtime Lipo, tummy tuck surgery, thigh lift surgery, arm lift surgery, breast reduction surgery, facelift and neck lift surgery, or other body and facial procedures.

Body lifts yield drastic skin reduction results that are long lasting. As the body naturally ages, some skin elasticity will be lost. However, maintaining a consistent weight will preserve your body lift results indefinitely. This can be done by following a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Additional pregnancies can negate the quality of results, and it is usually recommended to wait on the surgery until you are finished having children.
