LiftEX®: 360-Degree Skin Tightening After Weight Loss

A lower body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissue around the lower torso, typically after significant weight loss. LiftEX® is Sono Bello’s lower body lift alternative, offering 360-degree skin tightening across the stomach, waist, back, and thighs in a single awake procedure with less downtime than traditional surgery. It is one of the most effective skin tightening procedures available for patients who have experienced major weight loss and want lasting, comprehensive results.

Recovery from a traditional body lift typically takes several weeks, with restrictions on physical activities. LiftEX, by contrast, offers faster recovery and less downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner.

Insurance coverage for body lifts like torsoplasty depends on the procedure’s medical necessity. Cosmetic procedures, such as LiftEX, are usually not covered but provide a more comprehensive and customizable solution.

Whether you need a LiftEX® or a torsoplasty depends on your goals. You’re likely an excellent candidate for LiftEX® if you: (1) Are experiencing excess skin on your stomach, sides and back or buttock due to extreme weight loss, (2) want to remove excess fat throughout your midsection and have concerns of loose skin being left behind, (3) are experiencing loose, sagging skin from aging.

LiftEX® is a modern alternative to torsoplasty that offers 360-degree skin removal and body contouring without the need for general anesthesia. Unlike a traditional torsoplasty, which typically targets limited areas and can require weeks of recovery, LiftEX® provides loose skin removal and fat reduction across the midsection with less downtime. It’s a safer, awake procedure that delivers immediate, long-lasting results, especially for patients dealing with loose skin after major weight loss.

Loose skin surgery like LiftEX® removes excess skin through surgical excision while simultaneously addressing residual fat with micro-laser liposuction. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so no general anesthesia or hospital stay is required. Your surgeon tailors the approach based on where skin laxity is most pronounced, typically the stomach, waist, back, and thighs.
