Patients interested in a body lift should first request a complimentary consultation with Dr. Korman. During the consultation, Dr. Korman will go over the body lift procedure in detail. He will ask the patient about why they believe they would be a good candidate for a body lift and what they hope to achieve. It is important that the patient has realistic expectations for the procedure. Dr. Korman will also ask about the patient’s medical history. If the patient had bariatric surgery, he will likely need to speak with the patient’s bariatric surgeon prior to approving them for a body lift. The patient should also inform Dr. Korman of any medical conditions they have, medications they take, allergies, and prior surgeries. Dr. Korman will evaluate the patient’s areas of concern on their body, typically taking measurements and photographs.

Depending on the outcome of his examination, he may recommend that the patient is a better candidate for a less invasive procedure, such as a tummy tuck or liposuction alone. At the time of the consultation, Dr. Korman can provide the patient with a price estimate. However, it is important to understand that because body lifts are customized to each individual patient, the price will vary. Typically, body lifts are considered elective procedures and are not covered by insurance. In some cases, if the patient is suffering from a medical condition as a result of their excess skin, insurance may help pay for the cost of the procedure.
