In Buffalo the body lift is a procedure performed by Dr. Shatkin that can improve the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Excess sagging fat and skin are removed to treat conditions caused in part by poor tissue elasticity. In addition, the procedure(s) can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, commonly known as cellulite. A body lift may include these areas:

  • Abdominal area, locally or extending around the sides and into the lower back area.
  • Buttocks, that may be low, flat or shaped unevenly.

Body lifts are not intended strictly for the removal of excess skin and fat. Liposuction, alone, can remove excess fat deposits where skin has good elasticity and is able to naturally conform to new body contours. In cases where skin elasticity is poor, a combination of liposuction and body lift techniques may be recommended.
