Body lift surgery in Chicago typically lasts four to six hours under general anesthesia and often requires one overnight stay for monitoring. Incisions are usually placed along the belt line so scars can be hidden under underwear or swimwear, with a short vertical incision added if additional skin removal is needed.Patients begin assisted walking the evening of surgery. Surgical drains usually remain in place for three to five days. Desk work is often possible after about two weeks, while unrestricted cardio typically resumes around week six. Scar care begins once incisions close, with redness fading gradually over the first year.

What Is a Body Lift?
A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from multiple areas of your body while tightening underlying tissues. This procedure addresses sagging skin around your abdomen, buttocks, hips, thighs, and lower back, typically after significant weight loss. Body lift creates smoother, more toned body contours by eliminating loose, hanging skin that diet and exercise cannot fix, restoring a more proportionate and youthful body shape.
