Refine Your Figure with a Total Body Lift

If you have undergone massive weight loss, you deserve to feel completely confident and comfortable in your skin. Unfortunately, you may be left with excess, sagging tissue so your appearance still fails to reflect your new commitment to a healthy lifestyle. 

The Hurwitz Center offers total body lift (TBL) surgery at our Pittsburgh, PA, practice for patients suffering from skin laxity following weight loss.

This advanced procedure is documented in Dr. Hurwitz's book, Total Body Lift, which discusses how patients not only improve their appearance but also feel better and have improved self-confidence following treatment.*

So why should you consider a total body lift?

But how do I know if a total body lift is right for me?

Each TBL that the Hurwitz Center performs is uniquely tailored to the patient's needs and goals. In most cases, he combines several surgeries together to achieve the desired result.

The surgeries involved in your treatment may include:

• Arm lift
• Breast lift
• Breast reduction
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• Thigh lift
• Butt lift
• Liposuction
• Oblique flankplasty

Your TBL timeline will be carefully staged to ensure your health and safety. Your surgeon may perform your treatments at our state-of-the-art ambulatory operating room or at the an ambulatory surgical center nearby. We provide advanced nutritional and postoperative care for all our body lift patients.

The Day of Your Procedure

On the day of your surgery, we will sedate you to ensure you remain relaxed and comfortable.

Then your surgeon will:

1. Mark the incision sites
2. Create incisions
3. Remove excess skin and fat
4. Smooth underlying tissue and the remaining skin
5. Precisely place sutures to close the surgical sites

Rest assured, your doctor will carefully place your incisions to reduce any visible scarring.*

What can I expect during a total body lift?

The length and extent of your recovery will depend on several factors, such as the type and number of procedures you underwent, as well as whether they were done at one time or in phases.

The team at the Hurwitz Center will provide you with specific details and guidelines, and answer all of your questions regarding your recovery. As you recuperate, you can look forward to enjoying a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem with a healthier, younger-looking, more attractive figure.*

Once I'm recovered, what will my results look like?

Since TBL surgery is so highly customized, every patient's results will be different.

Depending on the surgeries you choose, your Surgeon can remove excess skin and fat from your:

• Arms
• Breasts
• Stomach
• Back
• Buttocks
• Thighs

Most TBL treatments are staged over a series of months. 

Once you have completed treatment, you can enjoy dramatic, natural-looking results provided by one of our America's Top Plastic Surgeons.

How much will this all cost me?

Are there any options to help pay for my treatment?

Is a TBL worth the investment?

We offer a wide range of body contouring treatments at Hurwitz Center for Plastic Surgery in Pittsburgh. Not everyone who achieves massive weight loss is a candidate for a TBL, and we are here to help you make the best choice for your goals and your health.

Your surgeon can perform any of the procedures included in a body lift as a stand-alone treatment. In addition, we offer a range of non-surgical options, though these cannot provide the same dramatic results that surgery can achieve.

Our highly skilled surgeons with a combined over 45 years of experience can find the right treatment option for your unique needs and help you achieve the results you deserve.
