Love Your Body Treatment Tailored to Your Needs

Boosted Confidence

Our team is passionate about helping patients look and feel their best. A body lift can improve every aspect of your life by making you feel happier and healthier in your skin.

Fully Customizable

Treatment is fully customizable based on your cosmetic goals. Some patients choose to have a lower body lift, while others combine popular procedures to address their abdomen or buttocks.

Reflect Your Weight Loss

It can be difficult to feel proud of the weight you've lost if you have excess skin and dislike your reflection in the mirror. Body contouring reveals all your hard work for you to enjoy.

Expanded Wardrobe

Do certain pieces of clothing just not fit your body type? A body lift accentuates your curves in all the right places and allows you to wear dresses or swimsuits with confidence.

Eliminate Skin Issues

Body contouring does more than make you look great; it can address frustrating health concerns such as rashes or skin infections from excess skin.

How Does a Body Lift Work?

Worried About Surgery? We Offer Sedation Methods

At our office in Toledo, we are committed to providing as comfortable an experience for our patients as possible. We offer general anesthesia and IV sedation to help you feel less anxious and more relaxed during your procedure. Patients find comfort knowing that they will gently drift off into a deep sleep and have no recollection of their procedure. If there is anything we can do to help you feel more at ease, our accommodating staff is happy to help.

Exploring Lower Body Lift Is it Right for You?

For patients who have excess skin affecting multiple areas, we offer a lower body lift. A lower body lift includes surgical treatment to the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. This treatment can dramatically transform your lower body for stunning results.

What Are the Risks of a Body Lift?

As with any surgical procedure, there are certain side effects that may occur following a body lift.

Minor Side Effects

Patients may experience swelling, bruising, inflammation, discomfort, and numbness, among other possible side effects. Fortunately, these are temporary and can be managed with prescription medications and over-the-counter pain relievers to reduce symptoms.

Serious Complications

In rare instances, serious complications can occur, such as blood clots, infections, undesirable scarring, necrosis of the tissue, and unsatisfactory results. Due to modern advancements and Dr. Zavell's decades of surgical expertise, a body lift can be performed safely and successfully in Toledo.

What Is the Cost?

We've seen firsthand how life-changing a body lift surgery can be for our patients in Toledo, Sandusky, and Findlay, OH. Price shouldn't get in the way of you celebrating weight loss and loving your body, so we offer flexible financing options to make plastic surgery more affordable. We work with third-party lending companies such as CareCredit®, M-Lend Financial, and Directions Credit Union® to offset the price of treatment. Whether you're interested in a full body lift, a lower body lift, or a body lift with added liposuction, our warm and friendly Ohio staff are happy to walk you through the options and find the best fit for you and your needs.
