Body Contours with Lift Surgery in Mumbai

Body lift surgery is becoming a sought-after solution for those who wish to improve their body shape after major weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. This surgical procedure helps remove excess skin, reshape body contours, and restore a firmer, smoother appearance.
If you've been struggling with loose skin or sagging areas that don't respond to diet and exercise, lift surgery may be a step forward. This blog covers how lift surgeries work, who they benefit, recovery expectations, types of lifts, cost considerations, and expert care in Mumbai.

Lift surgery, also known as body contouring surgery, focuses on tightening and reshaping loose skin and tissue. It's often performed after significant weight loss, bariatric surgery , or pregnancy. The main goal is to improve body proportion and skin appearance.
Common areas treated include:

• Abdomen (tummy tuck or abdominoplasty)
• Thighs (thigh lift)
• Buttocks (gluteal lift)
• Arms (arm lift or brachioplasty)
• Back and flanks (upper or lower body lift)
• Face and neck (facelift or neck lift)

This procedure is different from liposuction, which removes fat. Lift surgeries remove excess skin and tighten the underlying structures.

Lift surgery is suitable for people who have:

• Lost a large amount of weight
• Excess skin folds causing discomfort or rashes
• Sagging skin due to aging or childbirth
• Realistic expectations about surgery and outcomes

You should be in good general health and have a stable weight for at least six months. Smokers are encouraged to quit well before surgery, as smoking can delay healing.

1. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Removes excess skin and fat from the midsection and tightens abdominal muscles.
2. Lower Body Lift
Targets the abdomen, flanks, outer thighs, and buttocks in one procedure. Ideal for patients after massive weight loss.
3. Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Removes sagging skin from the upper arms and restores contour.
4. Thigh Lift
Reshapes the inner or outer thighs by removing loose skin and fat.
5. Back Lift
Focuses on the mid and upper back areas, reducing skin rolls and bulges.
Each type of lift is personalized. Your surgeon may combine two or more areas depending on your needs.

Improves body symmetry and proportion
Removes loose, hanging skin
Reduces skin chafing or irritation
Enhances self-confidence and body image
Makes clothing fit better
Supports physical activity by eliminating skin that gets in the way
Patients often report better quality of life and increased mobility after surgery.

Recovery varies based on the type of surgery and your general health.
In general:

• Surgery may require 1–2 nights of hospital stay
• Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common for 2–3 weeks
• Drains may be placed to remove excess fluid
• Compression garments help reduce swelling
• Most people return to normal activities in 4–6 weeks
• Full recovery and final results can take several months

Your surgeon will provide guidelines on wound care, physical activity, and follow-up visits.

The cost depends on the type and extent of surgery, hospital facility, anesthesia, and surgeon's experience.
Typical range in Mumbai:

• Arm or thigh lift: ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000
• Tummy tuck: ₹1,80,000 to ₹3,50,000
• Lower body lift: ₹2,50,000 to ₹5,00,000

Some surgeries may be combined in stages to reduce cost and risk. Many clinics offer financing options.
