:: Body Lift ::
An integrated body contouring operation involving the abdomen, buttock, hip and thigh area, this procedure creates an entirely new contour to the waist hips, abdomen, buttocks and thighs.
The body lift is part of a general area in plastic surgery called body contouring. It is very important to evaluate if you are a candidate for the operation or whether a tummy tuck, liposuction, thigh lift, or other procedure is the right one for you. We have had much success with the body lift in contouring of the body but it is vital to understand the operation and to determine if it is right for you. Some patients need only a tummy tuck, others require the extended tummy tuck. Those that have lost over 100lbs will often need the body lift.
The body lift operation is an integrated body contouring operation to remove large amounts of skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, thighs, and back. This is a procedure designed mainly for men or women who have lost large amounts of weight and are left with saggy and unsightly skin of the abdomen, buttock, thighs, and hips. Sometimes breasts and arms can be combined with the lower body lift.
Dr. Korman has appeared on "20/20" along with one of his body lift procedure patients who was profiled in the show. Dr. Korman’s offices are located in Mountain View and Monterey. We are pleased to service patients from San Francisco, San Jose, Palo Alto. In addition many patients come from all over the country and the world to see Dr. Korman for the body lift.
As with all body contouring procedures, the body lift usually includes some amount of liposuction also. At a consultation, Dr. Korman will review with you which procedure(s) is right for you. Consultations are complimentary.

FROM ONE OF OUR BODY LIFT PATIENTS:
Dear Dr. Korman,
Thanks so much for the body lift procedure which you performed on me on January 14, 1999. It goes without saying that I am absolutely ecstatic with the result. It has exceeded my expectation, both interms of the physical as well as the mental aspects of the outcome. My skin is tighter than it has been in over twenty years. I am now seven weeks out from the operation at this point, and am already back to my vigorous workout schedule! Both friends and family are also amazed at my new contour! I keep getting positive comments rom everyone that I see. I really appreciate all of your hard work. You always have been there for any/all of my questions which really helped me as I went through the decision-making process in terms of having the surgery. Laurie and your other staff were also great!
If any other patiens are interested in having this operation, I would highly encourage it. It can really change someone's lift. If they are interested, they can feel free to contact me at my email: EJTP1@aol.com and I will answer any questions they have.
It was fun doing the story on body lifts on ABC's 20/20. Judging by the viewers who have contacted me through email, many others around the country can benefit from this great procedure.
Again, Dr. Korman, I really appreciate the result and look forward to staying in touch!
Sincerely,
Tom (aka Keith on "20/20")
