Create a Slimmer, More Toned Figure
A body lift offers you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of your dramatic weight loss. Working closely with you during a consultation, one of our board-certified surgeons will create a unique body contouring plan that addresses your needs. As a part of your lift procedure, your surgeon will improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports your skin while removing excess fat and skin. Popular lift options include:
Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift is a comprehensive treatment that targets sagging skin below the waistline. It typically includes the hips, outer thighs, and buttocks and creates a more sculpted body. It's a highly customizable procedure and can include tightening of the abdominal muscles as well as liposuction. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will work closely with you to tailor your procedure to your needs.
Arm Lift
Arms are a common source of concern for patients who have succeeded in losing significant weight. In order to create arms that are consistent with the rest of their body, many patients choose to add an arm lift with their body lift. During an arm lift, Dr. Boudreaux or Dr. Claiborne will remove loose skin and fat from the upper arm, between the elbow and the armpit.

Plastic Surgery Patients Recommend Our Practice
"If you are looking for a top notch surgeon, staff and facility look no further! I have always been severely self conscious about my abdomen especially after birthing two children. Once my husband and I decided that two children completed our family. I chose to move forward with surgery. I couldn’t be more happy with my results and the care that I received. I highly recommend Dr. Boudreaux! He’s not only an artist at his craft, but his bedside manner left me knowing I made the right choice! Thanks again NPS!" Samantha Jeanfreau, 2022
Treatment Timeline For a Body Lift Procedure
Because every patient is different and hopes to accomplish different things through cosmetic surgery, every body lift procedure is different. However, most body contouring procedures have some commonalities when it comes to the steps you will experience between your consultation and your complete recovery. This is a general timeline of what you can expect if you decide to undergo one of these treatments:

A body lift uses surgical body contouring techniques to remove excess skin. It can also reattach separated abdominal muscles. If you're interested in learning more about the process, contact our caring New Orleans-area team.
How Long Will My Recovery Take?
The typical body lift recovery usually requires two to three weeks away from work. During that time, it's important to take short walks each day to encourage proper blood flow, which helps you avoid blood clots and expedite healing. You should be able to resume most of your normal activities after a month to six weeks. It's important to remember that swelling may not fully subside for a year, but the majority of swelling will go down after about six weeks.
