A body lift procedure is composed of a group of cosmetic surgery techniques that can remove excess skin and fat from the arms waistline, or legs and thighs using surgical excision and body sculpting. Body lift procedures can be performed after massive weight loss, gastric bypass or gastric balloon surgery, or after childbirth. Many of these techniques utilize a combination of Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian's HIDEF protocols combined with surgical excision techniques to safely remove excess skin that can no longer be tightened with conventional laser.

 

Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian is an expert double board-certified plastic surgeon with offices in the United States and Beirut Lebanon.  He is a fellow of the American College of surgeons and a board-certified diplomat of the American Board of plastic and reconstructive surgery. These qualifications, added to his decades long experience, allow him the expertise in body contouring. If you are unsure whether you require a body lift versus a body contouring liposuction, our surgical team can help evaluate your skin tone and determine whether surgery or liposuction is the most appropriate choice .
