HOW DOES MASSIVE WEIGHT LOSS AFFECT THE BODY?

Your physician may have spent time with you explaining why you need to lose weight. Excess weight and obesity increase your chances for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other conditions. Based upon this sound advice, you took a journey to eliminate the excess pounds, but the results may have been unexpected.

Carrying extra weight on your body stretches the skin and may increase the number of fat cells that you have. When the skin is stretched for long periods of time, it loses elasticity, a property that helps the skin lay against your contours. When the skin does not have enough elasticity, it hangs in layers that are aesthetic concerns and may increase the chances of developing chafing and skin infections.

The challenge with having extra fat cells is that diet and exercise do not actually eliminate fat cells; rather, these cells shrink in size. Everyone has fat cells to help the body produce energy, but when you gain weight, the body develops new fat cells. Even if you shrink the fat cells, you now have more than before you gained weight. The result is areas with bulges and bumps that are resistant to diet and exercise.

WHAT IS AN UPPER AND LOWER BODY LIFT?

An upper and lower body lift removes the excess fat and skin that remain after losing a large amount of weight. We recommend that you maintain your ideal weight for at least one year before considering a body lift.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A BODY LIFT?

• Upper body lift targets the breasts, arms, underarm area, chest, and mid/upper back
• Lower body lift targets thighs, buttocks, abdomen and hips

We combine procedures whenever possible to reduce your recovery time, or we may recommend that you have a procedure and heal completely before having the subsequent procedures.

HOW MUCH DOES A BODY LIFT COST IN NYC?

The cost of a body lift varies. Factors that affect the cost of your body lift include the areas that need correction, degree of tissue removal, complexity of the procedure, and other factors that are determined during the consultation. To help you have a budget in mind when you meet with Dr. Shah, we invite you to learn about our financing options.
