Complex procedure: Body lifts are involved procedures where large areas of skin and fat are rearranged, removing the excess tissue. The procedures are long and have numerous possible complications. Postoperative drain and wound care are necessary and require patient compliance. The planning of the procedure is dictated by the particular deformity being addressed and require surgeon expertise.

Yes: The most common risks of a body lift are bleeding, infection, wound healing problems, and bad scarring. I think the risks are greater because of the amount of surgery and length of surgery. Blood clots are also a huge concern. Good luck.
