A body lift is a comprehensive cosmetic surgery designed to reshape and tighten areas of the body affected by skin laxity after significant—sometimes massive—weight loss. Whether weight loss was achieved through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes—or, as is common in today’s trend, the use of injectable weight loss medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro—patients are often left with excess skin that can impact not only appearance but also comfort and self-esteem.
Dr. Dora Evangelidou, a board-certified consultant in plastic surgery with four European board certifications, and expert in holistic plastic surgery that performs body lift procedures in Dubai using her exclusive SOMA™ Protocol. This protocol integrates surgical precision with functional medicine principles to reduce inflammation, minimize scarring, and accelerate healing—ensuring that your transformation is both aesthetic and sustainable.
Undergoing a body lift can dramatically improve body shape and quality of life. Key benefits include:
Removal of loose, sagging skin for a smoother, firmer appearance
Enhanced confidence and freedom in clothing choices
Alleviation of skin irritation, chafing, and hygiene challenges
Restoration of mobility and improved posture
Finalization of the weight loss journey with a sculpted silhouette
These functional and aesthetic improvements are particularly life-changing for patients who have worked hard to lose significant weight and are ready to see the final results reflected in their body.
Dr. Dora tailors each surgical plan to the patient’s needs using the following techniques:
01
Targets the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Ideal for post-weight-loss patients experiencing skin folds or laxity in the lower torso and legs.
02
Addresses the arms, upper back, and breasts. Often combined with a breast lift, arm lift (brachioplasty), or lateral chest wall lift for a cohesive upper-body transformation.
03
A full-circle contouring approach that combines both lower and upper body procedures in a staged or single-session strategy for comprehensive reshaping.
04
Thigh Lift: Removes inner or outer thigh skin laxity
Arm Lift: Restores tightness and shape in the upper arms
Breast Lift: Elevates and reshapes sagging breast tissue
*These procedures can be performed alone or in combination, depending on your goals and suitability.
Every journey begins with a detailed consultation, including a 360° analysis of your body proportions, skin quality, and medical history. On surgery day, general anesthesia is administered. Dr. Dora then places incisions in carefully selected locations to minimize visible scarring, removes excess skin and fat, and repositions tissues for a natural, lifted result.
Patients may require an overnight stay, especially in multi-area cases. Post-op instructions will cover wound care, garment use, activity restrictions, and recovery milestones. Thanks to the SOMA™ Protocol, inflammation is minimized, healing is supported with immune and nutrient strategies, and your recovery is monitored through regular follow-ups.
Most patients resume light activity in 2 weeks, with full results visible within 3–6 months.
Dr. Dora is widely recognized as a leading plastic surgeon in Dubai for over a decade. A pioneer in adopting the latest technologies and surgical techniques, she continues to set the standard in advanced body contouring procedures.
