What is Body Lift Surgery?
Body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure that addresses excess skin and tissue around the entire circumference of the body—abdomen, back, hips, and buttocks—providing dramatic transformation for patients who have lost significant weight through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Body lift can be staged — doing lower body first, then upper body 3–6 months later — to reduce surgical time and recovery demands. Discuss staging options with your surgeon based on your goals and health status.
Insider Note:
Plan for extended recovery. Body lift is major surgery requiring 2+ weeks before travel and 4–6 weeks before resuming normal activities. Arrange adequate time off work, home support, and realistic expectations about the recovery timeline.

American Aesthetics - Hair Restoration and Aesthetic Surgery Medical Center
"My wife and I had a procedure at V Klinik three weeks ago. We are both happy with the attention and quality of care we received at V Kilink. I had a hair transplant and I would like to thank the team, Mr. Fatih, Mrs. Revnak, Mrs. Aleyna, Mrs.Sena, and Mrs.Ceyda for their professionalism and kindness. They patiently answered my questions and explained every step of the procedure. As you may know hair transplant procedure takes around 8-10 hours, this team has a good vibe going around in the procedure room, which makes it very easy and you will not notice how those 10 hours passed. Also, they do not mind helping with any questions afterward, it has been 3 weeks after the hair transplant, and what I can say so far is so good."
