Does a body lift just lift the skin or does it address excess fat too?

Answer: A body lift improves contour primarily by removing excess skin, smoothening and tightening the remaining skin and lifting sagging surrounding structures. Some amount of liposuction is almost always done as a complimentary part of body lift procedures however, to further improve contouring in areas with prominent fat and to enhance the end result. In some body lift procedures, areas of fat may actually be repositioned by what is called an autologous flap as with a gluteal auto-augmentation.
