Upper body lift surgery can focus on the arms, breasts, and middle back area, whereas lower body lift surgery can include the abdominal area, thighs, buttocks, and back. Total body lift includes both upper and lower areas of the body.If you have maintained a stable weight for at least three months and you exercise and maintain a healthy diet, you may be a candidate for body lift surgery.
