Body Lift
in Daytona Beach, FL
What Is A Body Lift?
If you have loose, sagging skin and want to restore your body to a more natural shape, you may be interested in a body lift. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy, and extreme weight loss may contribute to poor skin elasticity that results in irregular body contours. A full body lift involves removing loose, sagging skin from various areas of your body. It may also include surgical reshaping of your arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, groin, chest, back, and breasts, depending on your individual needs and desires.
If you have a lot of fatty deposits, a combination of liposuction and body lift procedures will likely be used, as a body lift from Dr. Zamora is the only method of body contouring that can truly restore your body shape, your skin appearance, and your skin tone all at the same time.
Benefits of a Body Lift
Losing a significant amount of weight is an admirable accomplishment, but many people find that they are left with a considerable amount of loose skin that doesn't seem to fit their new body.
Lower Body Lift
In the summer, shorts and fashionable skirts may be off limits if the loose skin on your thighs causes you embarrassment. Lower body lift surgery with Dr. Zamora is not a way to lose weight, but instead, it’s intended to help improve the appearance of sagging, stretched skin in your lower body that results from weight loss, pregnancy or the aging process.
Upper Body Lift
Areas of your upper body that have excess skin and fat can be addressed by an upper body lift that focuses on your abdominal region and flanks, and because your skin is pulled taut during the procedure, upper body lift surgery can help smooth out the appearance of cellulite, dimples, and other skin irregularities.
PATIENT REVIEWS
“Dr. Zamora's skills are matched by his principles and ethics as a doctor. In reconstructing a friend's botched mohs procedure, done by a dermatologist, his concerns were only for helping this patient. He saved her from a lifetime of disfigurement.”

IN OUR CLIENTS' OWN WORDS
Who Is The Ideal Candidate For A Body Lift?
Body lifts are ideal for those patients who have lost a substantial amount of weight, or for women whose bodies have been significantly altered by pregnancy. The procedure provides you with a smoother, more natural body contour, in addition to removing excess skin to reveal and highlight the results of significant weight loss, showing off your new svelte body contour. While a body lift is ideal for those patients, who have undergone massive weight loss if you’ve just had lap banding or gastric bypass surgery you shouldn’t pursue body lift surgery until your weight has been steady for two months.
What Do I Need To Do Before A Body Lift?
A body lift is ideal for those who have lost a significant amount of weight or have sagging skin due to age and sun damage. Just like any other surgery, it’s important to make preparations, including preparing your home for your recovery period, arranging for assistance in the first 24 to 48 hours after your procedure, and doing the following pre-operative preparations:
- Have an overall health check-up
- Complete necessary blood work
- Discontinue use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain vitamins and other supplements two weeks prior to your procedure
- Cease smoking two weeks prior to your procedure
- Alter, adjust or discontinue your current daily medications temporarily based on Dr. Zamora’s recommendation
What Should I Expect On The Day Of My Body Lift?
Body lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes between four and six hours. Dr. Zamora will remove any excess skin and fat, and then he will reshape the underlying tissue before pulling the remaining skin together and stitching it closed. At Dr. Zamora’s recommendation, depending on your unique needs, liposuction may also be performed in conjunction with a body lift to ensure your optimal results are achieved.
