FULL BODY LIFT
Transform Your Shape. Restore Your Confidence.
Significant weight loss is an incredible achievement—but it can often leave behind excess skin that does not reflect how far you’ve come. A full body lift is a comprehensive procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape the lower body, creating smoother, more refined contours.
At Cape Cod Surgical Arts, this is not just surgery—it’s a transformation guided with precision, intention, and artistry. Dr. Dalton creates a personalized plan to restore balance, proportion, and confidence in your body.
What Is a Full Body Lift?
A full body lift, also known as a lower body lift or circumferential body lift, is a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin and tissue around the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks.
It is most commonly performed after significant weight loss and is designed to:
Remove excess, hanging skin
Improve overall contour of the lower body
Lift and reshape surrounding areas
Restore smoother, more proportional lines
Rather than treating one area in isolation, a body lift approaches the body as a whole—creating a cohesive, balanced result.
How a Full Body Lift Works
A full body lift is a comprehensive, highly customized procedure.
During surgery:
Excess skin is removed circumferentially around the lower body
The abdomen is tightened and contoured
The lower back and flanks are reshaped
The buttocks may be lifted and repositioned
Liposuction may be incorporated for additional refinement
Incisions typically extend around the lower torso and are strategically placed to be concealed within clothing when possible.
The goal is not simply removal—but restoration of form, flow, and proportion.
Is a Full Body Lift Right for You?
You may be a candidate if you:
Have experienced significant weight loss
Have loose, hanging skin around the abdomen, hips, lower back, or buttocks
Are at or near a stable weight
Are in good overall health
Are committed to recovery and healing
Understand the scope of surgery and resulting scars
This procedure is ideal for patients seeking a more complete transformation rather than isolated contouring.
