Body Lift: Transform Your Contours with Covai Cosmetic Surgery
At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, we understand how excess skin and tissue can affect your confidence. Under the expert care of Dr. S. Sivakumar, we offer personalized body lift procedures that restore a firmer, more youthful silhouette.
What is Body Lift?
A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissues across multiple areas of the body. It addresses issues caused by dramatic weight loss, aging or genetic factors.
Overview
- Targets the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and sometimes arms
- Improves skin tone and body proportions
- Often combined with liposuction for enhanced contouring
Causes
- Massive weight loss (post-bariatric surgery or diet and exercise)
- Natural skin laxity due to aging
- Pregnancy-related stretching of abdominal tissues
- Genetic predisposition to sagging skin
Solutions
We tailor each treatment plan to your unique anatomy and goals. Options include:
- Surgical body lift
- Liposuction-assisted contouring
- Non-surgical skin tightening (for mild cases)
Types of Body Lift
- Lower Body Lift: Focuses on the abdomen, hips and outer thighs
- Upper Body Lift: Addresses the arms, breasts and back rolls
- Total Body Lift: Combines upper and lower procedures in one or staged approach
Types of Treatments

- Liposuction-Assisted: Fat removal plus tissue tightening
- Energy-Based Therapies: Radiofrequency or ultrasound for non-invasive candidates
Types of Stages
