What Is A Body Lift?
If significant weight loss hasn't given you the toned look you want, a body lift at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL may help. This procedure combines surgeries to enhance the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs by removing excess skin, eliminating stubborn fat, and tightening remaining skin. Ideal for those with sagging skin in the tummy, buttocks, or thighs, a body lift can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Contact Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery to schedule a consultation.
How Is A Body Lift Performed?
The body lift is performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. It may be combined with other surgeries, such as a breast or arm lift, depending on your goals. An incision is made around the lower part of the body to remove excess skin from the abdomen, legs, and hips. The incision is placed as low as possible on the front of the belly and near the hip bone to keep it easily hidden under the panty line. Additionally, a new opening for the navel is created in the treated skin, and the incisions are sutured to complete the procedure.
What Are the Benefits of A Body Lift?

- Tightening the lower section of the body (such as the upper legs and belly)
- Rejuvenating and firming wrinkled, hanging skin
- Boosting self-confidence

Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
Just had my consultation with Dr. Patterson and it was more than what I expected. He made me feel comfortable and informed me more than what I expected. The staff were amazing as well and the facility was clean and beautiful. Thank you! See you soon!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️From my initial consultation to my surgery and every follow-up visit since, my experience with Dr. Leveque and the entire team at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery has been amazing.I was extremely nervous going into this process, but Dr. Leveque, Ms. Amanda, Kody, and the entire staff have consistently made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and cared for. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer my questions—which, trust me, I have plenty of! 😂What I appreciate most is that the care didn’t stop once my surgery was over. They have continued to provide the same level of attention and reassurance throughout my recovery and follow-up visits. Dr. Leveque has been wonderful about explaining what to expect during the healing process and making sure I feel comfortable with my progress.Choosing to have surgery is a big decision, and having a team you trust makes all the difference. I’m so thankful I chose Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Leveque and her amazing staff to anyone considering plastic surgery. Thank you all for taking such great care of me before, during, and after my surgery! ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a body lift different from a tummy tuck?
A body lift addresses excess skin and fat across multiple areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs, while a tummy tuck focuses only on the abdominal area. A body lift is often recommended for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and need comprehensive skin tightening beyond just the midsection.
Will a body lift help with loose skin on my thighs?
Yes, a body lift can improve sagging skin on the thighs, particularly the outer thighs, by removing excess tissue and tightening the remaining skin. If significant laxity is present in the inner thighs, a separate thigh lift may be recommended for more targeted contouring.
How long will my results last after a body lift?
Results from a body lift are long-lasting, especially when supported by a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While natural aging will continue, the skin and body contours will remain significantly improved compared to before surgery. Maintaining a consistent weight helps preserve the outcome over time.
