About Body Lift
A body lift in Southlake, Texas is a surgical procedure to remove significant extra abdominal skin that extends around the flanks and into the back, that the standard tummy tuck may not completely address.
In a body lift in Southlake, the tummy tuck is extended all the way around to the back. This helps narrow the waist and ‘lift’ the outer thighs and buttocks.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tummy tuck focuses primarily on the abdomen, while a body lift extends the procedure to the flanks and back. This broader approach can address significant excess skin that a standard tummy tuck may not fully correct while also narrowing the waist and improving surrounding contours.
A body lift may be appropriate for someone with significant excess skin around the abdomen, flanks, and back. Dr. Mason or Dr. Novak can evaluate the amount and location of loose skin to determine whether a body lift or another body-contouring procedure better suits your needs.
Discuss the timing of a body lift with your surgeon, especially if your weight is still changing. Dr. Mason or Dr. Novak can consider your current body contours and goals when determining whether you are ready for surgery.
Because a body lift extends a tummy tuck around the flanks and into the back, the procedure requires a longer incision than a standard tummy tuck. The specific incision pattern and resulting scars depend on the amount and location of excess skin being addressed.
A body lift can lift the outer thighs and buttocks as excess skin is removed and tissues are repositioned. It can also narrow the waist and create a slimmer abdominal contour.
A body lift primarily addresses significant excess skin. When unwanted fat is also a concern, the procedure is often combined with liposuction of the back and flanks to further refine body contours.
Significant weight changes can affect your body contours after surgery. Maintaining a stable weight can help support your results, while future weight gain or loss may change the appearance of the abdomen, waist, thighs, or buttocks.
