Procedures
Risks and side effects
- The clinic states that general complications such as bleeding, inflammation and infection can occur after surgery and require particular care.
- Seroma (fluid collecting under the skin) can form after surgery; the clinic states that it is managed with ultrasound examinations.
- Because skin is excised, scars remain along the incision lines. The clinic explains that incision planning and scar care during recovery are carried out together.
- Bruising and swelling can occur after surgery.
- The clinic states that results vary with individual condition and that a suitable method should be confirmed through thorough consultation with the medical team.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.
Frequently asked questions
How is a body lift different from liposuction?
According to the clinic, liposuction removes fat by suction, whereas a body lift excises sagging skin together with fat. The clinic states that skin that has lost elasticity through weight change is hard to improve with liposuction alone; where fat is widespread and sagging is present, the two operations can be combined.
Which areas can be treated?
The clinic offers upper-arm lifts, abdominal lifts and thigh lifts.
What is the recovery schedule?
You recover in a hospital room for 1β3 hours, return 1β2 days later for disinfection and then wear a compression garment. Stitches are removed after about 7 days and an individual aftercare program runs for 4 weeks; the clinic states that the body shape settles after about 3 months (varies between individuals).
How much does it cost?
The clinic's non-covered fee schedule (as of 2026-06-15) has no separate body lift item. The cost can depend on the areas and on whether liposuction is combined, so please confirm during consultation.
