About the Body Lift Procedure
For some people, plastic surgery is a preferred option to address one specific concern. For instance, perhaps a patient is worried about her breast size or symmetry, so she opts for a specific surgery to correct that issue. Maybe a patient is self-conscious about their nose or tummy. In each instance, there are corresponding surgical solutions. However, many patients wish to address several areas of the body at once. In these cases, concerns often involve excess or sagging skin caused by aging, significant weight loss, or multiple pregnancies. One effective option for these patients is a body lift.
Also known as a belt lipectomy, a body lift in Fort Worth is designed to improve overall body contour and balance. During the procedure, our board-certified plastic surgeons make a circumferential incision to remove a “belt” of excess skin, enhancing the appearance and contour of multiple areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs.
A body lift can help:
- Remove excess, sagging skin.
- Address multiple areas at once, thus improving overall body contour.
- Tighten and smooth the midsection and lower body.
- Restoring a more balanced, youthful silhouette

How a Body Lift Works
Our skilled plastic surgeons have undergone rigorous training and performed thousands of body lift procedures. More importantly, we tailor our approach to each patient’s needs and goals while achieving results that look and feel natural. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell start with a patient-centered approach, then rely on advanced surgical techniques and the most innovative materials to methodically shape your body and deliver the precise look you envision.
No two body lift procedures are identical. Generally speaking, however, our surgeons start by making a carefully planned circumferential incision around the lower torso. In doing so, they can remove excess skin and tissue in a continuous “belt” and address multiple areas at once. Once the unwanted skin is removed, Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell lift and tighten the remaining skin. They may also reposition skin to create a smoother, more contoured appearance. The specific areas treated may include the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and thighs, all to achieve balanced, natural-looking results. We use general anesthesia throughout the procedure, which means you won’t feel any pain.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Body Lift?
As much as we try to stick to the best diet plans and exercise routines, those solutions aren’t enough to eliminate loose, sagging skin or restore lost firmness in certain areas of the body. The reality of that can be a real gut punch, especially when you feel like you are doing everything right. Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell believe men and women of all ages do not have to be stuck with a body they are not happy with. There are surgical and non-surgical options, and the body lift is one of the more popular, since multiple areas can be addressed at once rather than scheduling several procedures over a longer period of time.
That said, it is important to have an open and honest conversation with your plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and determine if this procedure is right for you. As long as you are in good health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations, a body lift may be for you.
What Are the Key Benefits of a Body Lift?

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Body Lift in Fort Worth?
We believe in transparent pricing at Clearfork Plastic Surgery. Not only are we happy to discuss all related costs with our prospective clients, but we also itemize everything plainly and in writing. This way, you can make the best financial decision for you.
Though fees can vary from facility to facility and surgeon to surgeon, a few of the common fees you can expect include:
Surgeon’s Fees
The board-certified plastic surgeon performing your mommy makeover will collect a fee for their time, experience, and training. What this number ultimately is can vary from surgeon to surgeon and market to market.
Facility Fees
Where your surgeon performs the mommy makeover procedure also determines the total expenses. For instance, the difference in cost between having your procedure performed in a hospital versus an outpatient surgical center.
Anesthesia
You will sleep like a baby during your procedure, which ultimately requires the skilled hand of an anesthesiologist. This is an additional fee that must be accounted for before the procedure itself.
Prescription Medications
Thankfully, most insurance carriers cover post-surgical needs, including pain medication and antibiotics, to help manage pain and reduce the risk of infection. Check with your insurance provider first to determine whether there are any out-of-pocket expenses.
Surgical Garments
Depending on the facility, you may be charged for surgical garments that are provided to you after your procedure.
