Bodylift Livion Hamburg

For a firmer body silhouette and more self-confidence

Body lift

A toned and well-defined body silhouette is a common beauty ideal for both women and men. After significant weight loss, many patients no longer feel comfortable in their own skin. Often, the loss of subcutaneous fat through diet, exercise, or gastric surgery can result in excess skin that does not fully retract on its own.

What is a body lift?

The body lift at LIVION in Hamburg

The body lift is designed to gently remove excess skin and fat from various areas of the body while tightening the tissue to create a smoother silhouette and firmer body contours. The procedure is often combined with liposuction to achieve more defined results and improved body shaping. As a surgical intervention, a body lift combines several individual procedures into a single operation. Treatment can be performed on the abdomen, thighs, back, hips, arms, breasts, and buttocks. At our Hamburg clinic, we take the time to provide a detailed, personalized consultation to discuss your options and clarify your expectations. Our goal is to support you throughout your journey,from the initial consultation to post-operative care, ensuring natural-looking, harmonious results.

How does a body lift work?

The complete solution for a toned body

A general distinction is made between an “upper body lift” (breasts, upper arms, back) and a “lower body lift” (abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs). The Total Body Lift, based on the Lockwood method, primarily focuses on the lower body.

For an upper arm lift, an incision is made along the inner arm between the armpit and elbow, and excess skin is removed. In the chest area, a T- or I-shaped incision is performed as required, and breast augmentation using implants or fat transfer can be carried out if indicated.

The Total Body Lift combines several procedures, including a tummy tuck, abdominal muscle lift, and flank lift. A buttock lift enhances the shape of the buttocks, and a thigh lift can be added as needed. Scars are carefully planned to be as discreet as possible. Localized fat deposits can be removed via BodyTite liposuction, providing a smoother contour.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 3–5 hours. Depending on the extent of the surgery, a hospital stay of up to 5 days may be required for post-operative monitoring.

What you should consider after the procedure

Aftercare after a body lift

After a body lift, you will receive prescriptions for any necessary medications as well as detailed post-operative care instructions in your treatment folder. Immediately following the procedure, you will wear custom-fitted compression garments, which help stabilize the results and support the healing process. These should be worn for approximately six to eight weeks to minimize the risk of seromas and hematomas. If liposuction is performed in combination, we recommend lymphatic drainage therapy. Proper scar care and regular follow-up appointments are essential. Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure, but swelling and discomfort usually subside within one to two weeks. Strenuous physical activity and sports should be avoided for about six weeks.

Patients typically stay in the clinic for several days afterwards for recovery and monitoring.
