Lower Body Lift
A circumferential lift of the abdomen, flanks, hips and buttocks (belt lipectomy) that removes hanging skin and restores a firm, smooth lower body in a single drainless surgery.
Arm & Back Lift
A super extended arm lift (brachioplasty) that removes loose skin from the arm and continues along the side of the chest and back for a smooth, toned upper body.
Lateral Torsoplasty
A technique few surgeons perform, combined with an arm lift to remove skin along the sides of the torso. The scar closes like a zipper along the side.
Extended Tummy Tuck
For loose abdominal skin that reaches the flanks: a drainless tummy tuck that also repairs the muscle wall, and a gentler alternative to a full lower body lift.

Learn how body lift procedures remove loose skin, who is a good candidate, and what scars and recovery involve with Dr. Francisco Bucio.

Our bilingual patient coordinators can help with procedure details, pricing estimates and travel logistics.
A body lift removes the excess, hanging skin left after pregnancy, aging, weight changes or significant skin laxity, and reshapes the underlying tissue. It is designed for patients whose skin no longer tightens on its own and who are at a stable weight.
A tummy tuck treats the abdomen. A lower body lift (belt lipectomy) works around the whole lower torso, lifting the abdomen, flanks, hips and buttocks together. A panniculectomy only removes the hanging apron of skin and does not repair muscle. Dr. Bucio recommends the option that fits the amount of excess skin you have.
An arm lift removes loose skin from the upper arm. A super extended arm lift continues the incision along the side of the chest and back to treat the extra skin there too, giving a smoother upper-body contour than an arm lift alone.
A lateral torsoplasty removes loose skin along the sides of the torso. It is a technique few surgeons perform, and Dr. Bucio usually combines it with a super extended arm lift. The scar along the side closes like a zipper, which is how he describes it to patients.
Good candidates are in good health, have kept a stable weight for several months, and have loose skin that bothers them or limits clothing and activity. Dr. Bucio reviews your medical history, weight history, skin quality and goals before recommending a plan.
Sometimes. Because a body lift is a larger surgery, Dr. Bucio may combine procedures or divide them into stages, depending on your health, how much skin needs to be removed, the operating time and what is safe for you. Safety always decides the final plan.
The cost depends on which areas are treated, how many procedures are combined and your recovery plan. After your consultation, Dr. Bucio’s team sends a personalized quote, and our bilingual patient coordinators can answer pricing and travel questions beforehand.
Body lifts leave scars where the skin is removed, placed as discreetly as possible, and they fade gradually over a year or more. Expect swelling, bruising and limited activity early on. Dr. Bucio uses drainless techniques, and VIDA provides 24/7 care until your team clears you to travel.
