Body Lift New York

Body lift in New York with expert George Beraka, M.D., a board-certified New York plastic surgeon offers body lifting for patients who have lost massive amounts of weight after a stomach reduction procedure.

Dr. Beraka who is also an author and assistant professor of surgery at Cornell University Medical School, says the loss of 100 or 150 pounds can leave large sheets of skin hanging from the arms, legs and stomach of bariatric patients. It happens because the excess pounds stretched the patient's skin so much, it can no longer rebound. Moreover, the loose, flapping skin also creates some health and hygiene problems and makes it hard for the patient to play sports or exercise.

For a complete body lift in New York, Dr. Beraka is likely to perform the following procedures:

Belt Lipectomy.

Also known as a lower body lift, the procedure corrects sagging skin of the abdomen, buttocks, groin and outer thighs.

Brachioplasty.

That procedure removes the sagging skin of the upper arms and makes getting into clothes much easier.

Abdominoplasty.

Commonly known as a tummy tuck, the procedure removes the apron of excess skin that hangs from the abdomen.

A body lift will also commonly include a mastopexy or breast lift to correct sagging, flattened breasts.

Because patients should not be kept under a general anesthesia longer than five or six hours, body lift procedures are usually performed in stages. Some procedures may also require an overnight or extended hospital stay.
