Body Lift in Oklahoma City, OK
Bajaj Plastic Surgery
A circumferential body lift is a surgical procedure designed for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are dealing with excess, sagging skin. This procedure not only improves physical appearance but also provides important health benefits and boosts self-confidence.
The journey to weight loss is often marked by a profound sense of accomplishment and renewed vitality. However, for many, the transformation feels incomplete without addressing the excess skin that remains as a reminder of their previous weight. This lingering skin can affect both physical comfort and aesthetic satisfaction, prompting individuals to seek effective solutions that enhance self-esteem and overall quality of life.

The Body Lift Procedure
A circumferential body lift is performed under general anesthesia and may involve the use of surgical drains. Dr. Bajaj makes incisions to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and back, improving the contour of your trunk. In simple terms, a circumferential body lift combines an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with a posterior body lift, with the incision extending around the lower back just above the buttock crease.
Through these incisions, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is lifted and tightened. This process may sometimes incorporate the use of Renuvion for soft tissue contraction and enhanced skin tightening, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.
The surgery typically takes three to four hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Anureet Bajaj will provide a more precise estimate and personalized guidance during your consultation, as each patient’s needs are unique.

Aftercare and Recovery
Following surgery, a compression garment must be worn to support your new body contour and aid in the healing process. This garment should be worn consistently for four to six weeks post-surgery. Dr. Bajaj also encourages all patients to walk after surgery to help prevent blood clots, and you will be able to gradually increase your activity levels over the following weeks.
During the initial recovery phase, which typically lasts two to four weeks, you can expect some discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Dr. Bajaj will prescribe medications to manage any pain or discomfort. She follows a Rapid Recovery Program, also known as an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, designed to minimize pain, optimize results, and promote a faster return to normal life by supporting healing and reducing downtime.
