Beautiful body contours thanks to lower body lifting

Several factors may influence a weight loss: intensive dieting, a change in eating habits, and regular training. But, bariatric surgeries - such as a gastric band or a gastric bypass - also reduce effectively body weight.

Unfortunately, a severe weight loss does not always coincide with well-balanced body contours. A lower body lift, with tightening of the abdomen, the hips, and the back as well will guarantee a harmonious body shape.

We will be glad to answer any questions you may have on the topic of body lifting. Schedule a consultation appointment at Clinic Beethovenstrasse in Zurich at the telephone number +41 44 545 14 44 or online.

If after the long process of losing weight you have achieved your desired body weight, you may still not be completely satisfied with your look. Excess skin and hanging abdominal folds can disrupt your daily life: the clothes won't fit, and you may feel inhibited when practicing sports or even everyday activities. A lower body lift (abdomen, hips, and back) will not only enhance your appearance but improve your self-confidence as well.

A lower body lift combines the lifting of the abdomen, hips, and back.

With this sophisticated surgery, the contours of the whole lower body will be newly defined in just one procedure. By achieving the maximal lifting effect for the improvement of the skin surface, the whole lower body may be newly shaped.

How perfect the results will remain in the long period depends on a variety of factors; among which the initial body weight, secondary diagnoses, constant body weight and the strict adherence to the postoperative measures, as well as an optimal wound healing.
