Body Lift

What is a Body Lift?

A body lift is a series of procedures that are performed in order to lift and tighten the skin after major weight loss. There are several types of body lifts, including:

  • Full Body Lift– Targets the entire body.
  • Lower Body Lift– Targets the lower body only.

When you meet with Dr. Julio Clavijo-Alvarez, you’ll have the opportunity to talk about your concerns and goals. He will then help you determine which body lift procedure will best meet your needs.

Cost

What is the Cost of a Body Lift?

For a circumferential body lift, the average cost ranges from $8,000 - $12,500. The exact cost of a body lift depends on the number of areas that are targeted in the procedure and the treatment method that is used. Due to the comprehensive nature of a full body lift, it is to be expected that this procedure will be more expensive than the lift of just one specific area.

At Gaia Plastic Surgery, we price our procedures on an individual basis based on your needs. We will calculate your lower body lift cost or full body lift cost at your consultation. We accept a wide range of payment options for your convenience, including financing through Dollar Bank and CareCredit®, to ensure all our procedures are financially accessible to patients.
