Body Lift After Weight Loss in Kenya
Significant weight loss is a major personal achievement — it brings improved health, confidence, and a renewed lifestyle. However, many individuals are left with loose or sagging skin that doesn’t tighten on its own. A Body Lift is designed to address these changes, restoring smoother, firmer, and more youthful body contours.
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive Body Lift Surgery in Kenya, performed by experienced specialists who focus on achieving balanced, natural-looking results tailored to your body’s needs.
What Is a Body Lift?
A Body Lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying tissues to improve the shape and tone of your body. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have lost a substantial amount of weight through bariatric surgery, diet, or exercise and are left with stretched, hanging skin.
Depending on your goals, a body lift can focus on different regions:
-
Lower Body Lift: Targets the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and flanks.
-
Upper Body Lift: Focuses on the arms, back, and chest area.
-
Total Body Lift: Combines both for complete contour improvement.

Are in good overall health with realistic expectations.
-
Do not smoke or are willing to stop before and after surgery.
The Procedure
A Body Lift is customized to your body’s unique needs. The process typically involves:
- Consultation: A detailed discussion to understand your concerns, goals, and medical history.
- Anesthesia and Incisions: Performed under general anesthesia, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
- Skin and Tissue Tightening: Excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying tissue is lifted and reshaped.
- Closure and Recovery: Sutures are placed for optimal healing and contour.
The duration and approach may vary depending on the areas being treated.
Recovery and Results
Recovery time depends on the extent of the procedure. Most patients return to light activities within two to three weeks, with full recovery taking several months. Swelling and bruising gradually subside, revealing firmer, more defined body contours.
Results are long-lasting, especially when you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. The final outcome provides improved confidence and a rejuvenated body appearance that reflects your hard-earned weight loss journey.
