After successful weight loss or pregnancy, excess skin can dampen your joy at your new body. A body lift offers a comprehensive solution to harmonize your body’s silhouette and enhance your well-being.
At Dr. Limbourg’s practice in Hanover, we offer comprehensive consultations and treatments for body lifts. Whether following significant weight loss or pregnancy, we assess your individual situation and develop a customized treatment plan.Our specialized team uses state-of-the-art techniques to precisely remove excess skin and fat tissue and improve your body contour.
After significant weight loss, the physical transformation is often not yet complete. While the pounds may be falling off, excess, sagging skin is frequently left behind. The chest and arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, back, or buttocks—these areas in particular tend to develop excess tissue that no longer retracts. This can be distressing—both physically and emotionally.
A body lift, also known as a circular body lift or full body lift, offers a lasting solution in such cases. The procedure not only removes unsightly skin folds but also restores the harmonious contours of your body. The goal is to adapt your new body image to your changed reality—for greater self-confidence, freedom of movement, and a zest for life.

Positioning in the prone position: The first incision is made in an arc over the buttocks toward the hips. The tissue is loosened, and excess skin and fat are removed—significantly tightening the buttocks, flanks, and back.
The so-called Lockwood body lift is a more modern technique based on preserving key tissue bands. Advantages of this method:
This technique is particularly suitable for patients who desire moderate tightening with maximum aesthetic results. We will discuss whether the Lockwood procedure is recommended for you during your consultation.
