Full Body Lift

Comprehensive body contouring designed to enhance proportion and confidence.

After major weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery, lifestyle change, or pregnancy, many people are left with loose, sagging skin that no amount of exercise can tighten. A full-body lift in Turkey is a comprehensive body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape the body's natural proportions.

At Lifeline Turkey, we help international patients access licensed plastic surgeons and accredited hospitals for personalized body lift planning, from the first online consultation through to recovery support.

Who May Be a Candidate for Full Body Lift Surgery?

A full body lift is a major operation, and patient selection is important. Suitable candidates are generally those who:

  • Have completed major weight loss and maintained a stable weight for at least 6–12 months
  • Are in good overall health with no uncontrolled medical conditions
  • Are non-smokers, or willing to stop smoking several weeks before surgery
  • Have realistic expectations about results, scars, and recovery
  • Are committed to a healthy lifestyle post-surgery

Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, high BMI above the surgeon’s threshold, or active heart disease may make surgery unsuitable. A detailed medical review is part of every consultation.

What Is a Full Body Lift?

A full body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess, loose skin from multiple areas of the body and tightens the underlying tissues. It is most commonly performed on patients who have experienced major weight loss and are left with skin that cannot retract on its own.

The procedure addresses common concerns such as:

  • Loose, hanging abdominal skin
  • Sagging skin around the thighs and buttocks
  • Skin folds along the lower back and flanks
  • Skin irritation, chafing, or hygiene issues caused by excess tissue
  • Loss of body proportion and contour

It is not a weight-loss procedure. A body lift is a reshaping and tightening surgery, recommended only after weight has stabilised.

A full body lift can target multiple regions in one coordinated procedure:

  • Abdomen & Waist:Removal of excess skin and tightening of the abdominal wall, often resembling an extended tummy tuck.
  • Lower Back:Smoothing of skin folds and bulges along the lower back and flanks.
  • Buttocks:Reshaping and lifting to restore contour after volume loss.
  • Outer & Inner Thighs:Removal of loose skin around the upper and inner thigh areas.
  • Hips & Flanks:Contouring of the side regions to create a smoother transition between the waist and hips.

How Full Body Lift Surgery Is Performed?

The procedure typically takes between 4 and 8 hours, depending on how many areas are being treated.

A full body lift is performed under general anaesthesia. 

The surgeon makes carefully planned incisions, usually positioned so that scars can be concealed within natural body lines or under clothing. Excess skin is removed, the underlying tissues are tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a smoother contour. If liposuction is included, it is performed during the same operation.

Patients are usually monitored in the hospital for 2 to 4 nights before being discharged to their recovery accommodation.
