After achieving significant weight loss, whether through dieting, exercise, or bariatric surgery, many men and women still deal with excess, loose skin. This can make it hard to fully enjoy your new look, despite all your hard work. Dr. Bob Basu, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers body lift procedures in Houston and Cypress to help remove excess skin and tighten muscles, giving you the toned and shapely physique you deserve.
Losing a lot of weight is a huge accomplishment that should be celebrated. However, it often leaves behind loose skin that hides your body’s true contours, which can be frustrating. A body lift can help reveal your body’s new shape, giving you the chance to finally enjoy the results of your hard work. A body lift combines different procedures to sculpt and reshape areas like the abdomen, chest, buttocks, thighs, hips, waist, and arms. With over 14 years of experience and more than 16,000 aesthetic procedures under his belt, Dr. Basu provides safe, expert care and beautiful, balanced results.
Dr. Basu is known for his precision, attention to detail, and dedication to your safety. Whether you’re considering a body lift after weight loss or a mommy makeover, tummy tuck, or Brazilian Butt Lift, Dr. Basu will work closely with you to achieve the results you’re looking for.
Before surgery, achieving your ideal body weight can improve your results and reduce complications. Our Skinny Shot program, which uses medications like Semaglutide, helps you reach your goal weight, making surgery safer and more effective. Patients with a lower BMI tend to experience fewer complications and achieve better aesthetic results.
Dr. Basu customizes each body lift in Houston to meet your specific goals. Here’s a look at some common procedures included in a body lift:
Tightens abdominal skin and repairs separated muscles.
Removes excess skin and tones the buttocks. Fat transfer can also enhance shape.
Targets stubborn fat deposits to improve body contour.

Restores firm, toned upper arms by removing excess skin and fat.

During your consultation, Dr. Basu will help you decide the best approach for your goals. He performs body lifts using general anesthesia, and the placement of your incisions will depend on the areas being treated. Dr. Basu takes care to make incisions as discreet as possible. Some procedures may be done in stages for your safety and comfort.

It's important to maintain a stable weight before and after your surgery. Weight gain can stretch your skin again, affecting your results.
Dr. Basu takes great care in placing incisions where scars can be hidden or easily concealed. Most people find that the benefits of a body lift far outweigh the appearance of scars, which fade over time.
As with any surgery, there are risks, especially if you have health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. Dr. Basu will carefully evaluate your health to ensure your safety.
Yes, but it's recommended that you wait until after having children, as pregnancy can stretch the skin and affect your results.
