Our body specialist performs a variety of procedures to resculpt the contours of the body at our Salt Lake City practice, including liposuction for the removal of excess fat. Other methods of surgical enhancement, such as body lift procedures and tummy tuck, are also offered at our facility in Utah. The goal of these procedures is to tighten drooping skin and recontour areas with surplus fat, leaving the patient with a toned, slender physique. Dr. Brent D. Kennedy, our facial cosmetic surgery specialist, is also proficient in liposuction of the body.
The most common method used to remove and resculpt stubborn deposits of unwanted fat at our Salt Lake City practice is liposuction. The liposuction procedure involves the use of a slender surgical a tube called a cannula to suction fat from localized areas of the body to create smoother, leaner body contours. Liposuction can be performed safely on many areas of the body including the abdomen, buttocks, hips, inner and outer thighs, knees, calves, ankles, upper and lower back, and upper arms.

The goal of tummy tuck procedures performed at our Utah practice is to create a flatter, tighter midsection. Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is ideal for female patients whose midsection has become loose or stretched due to pregnancy or patients of either sex that have gained or lost a significant amount of fat in the abdominal region.
During tummy tuck at our surgical facility in Utah, our body specialist removes the excess skin and fat that cause a sagging or protruding abdomen, surgically tightens lax abdominal muscles to streamline the waist, and redrapes the skin of the abdomen to ensure smooth, natural looking results. Our body specialist may use liposuction techniques during tummy tuck to remove pockets of fat and refine abdominal contours. For patients who are only seeking to improve the appearance of the lower abdomen, our body specialist can perform a partial tummy tuck (also called a mini-tummy tuck), which requires less surgery time and reduces the length of the recovery period.
The tummy tuck procedure allows patients to achieve a dramatic transformation of the abdominal area. Patients who undergo tummy tuck for a drooping or protruding abdomen emerge with a trimmer, tighter midsection that is in better proportion with the rest of the body. Tummy tuck is often combined with breast lift or liposuction of the thighs and buttocks to further rejuvenate areas of the body affected by aging, pregnancy, or weight gain.

Lower body lift (belt lipectomy), which is also commonly referred to as a thigh and buttock lift, and the more comprehensive full body lift are both offered at The Institute of Facial and Cosmetic Surgery, LLC for patients with loose skin and areas of excess fat due to pregnancy, dramatic weight loss, weigh gain, age-related loss of skin elasticity and other factors. These lift procedures give patients the ability to achieve the tighter, more slender figure they desire:
The lower body lift and the full body lift provide extensive improvement to the appearance of the body, creating a smoother, sleeker figure.
During lower body lift, the main objectives are to tighten drooping skin along the abdomen, hips, buttocks and inner and outer thighs and to remove stubborn fat deposits, resulting in a more ideal body shape. Our body specialist first makes an incision around the lower circumference of the abdomen and loosens the skin from the underlying musculature of the upper and lower abdomen, pelvic area, buttocks and thighs. He then pulls the skin upward, lifting and smoothing all areas, and removes the excess skin that extends beyond the initial incision. Our body specialist may utilize liposuction techniques to refine and further tighten the results achieved with the lift. Once the lower body lift is complete, our body specialist gently stretches the superficial skin of the upper abdomen downward to reduce any drooping in the area, then removes excess skin and sutures the incision closed.
Full body lift is often the ideal cosmetic procedure for patients who have lost a considerable amount of weight through dieting or bariatric surgery. As the name implies, full body lift offers comprehensive improvement to the appearance of both the front and back of the upper and lower body. Because full body lift patients generally have large amounts of excess skin surrounding the midsection, as well as along the hips, buttocks and thighs, full body lift combines all steps of the lower body lift procedure with the abdominal muscle tightening techniques used in tummy tuck, in addition to liposuction contouring of the upper back area and excess skin removal from the lower back area.
Results of the body lift procedures performed at The Institute of Facial and Cosmetic Surgery in Salt Lake City, Utah are extraordinary. Patients who undergo either one of these surgeries often find the dramatic, body-transforming results to be life changing, by providing them with the smooth, proportionate, attractive figure they may have thought was impossible to achieve.

Arm lift, also called brachioplasty, is an effective lift procedure for eliminating drooping skin and excess fat from the upper arms. Whether loose skin flaps of the upper arm are the result of dramatic weight loss, diminished skin elasticity or weight gain, undergoing arm lift can create tighter, more toned looking arms.
The arm lift procedure begins with an incision hidden along the underside of the upper arm. Our body specialist then removes the loose skin and fat from the area, being careful to maintain proper proportion with the rest of the body. Depending on the case, our body specialist may utilize liposuction techniques to remove additional fatty deposits and improve skin-tightening results. Once reshaping is complete, our body specialist carefully closes the incision to minimize scarring. Arm lift is often performed to complement the body slimming results achieved with tummy tuck and body lift procedures.
After arm lift, patients are generally very pleased with their slimmer, more toned arms. Their results are natural looking and proportionate, often far exceeding the results they could achieve through diet and exercise alone.
