Body Lift Options: Stomach, Arms & Thighs
Dr. Clark customizes each body lift to focus on the areas that matter most to you, often combining procedures for more comprehensive results.
Stomach Lift (Tummy Tuck)
A stomach lift, also known as an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. It offers a rejuvenated appearance and boosts confidence, whether you’ve lost significant weight, experienced changes after pregnancy, or want a more sculpted midsection.
The procedure involves a horizontal incision across the lower abdomen to remove unwanted tissue, followed by tightening of the abdominal muscles for a firmer contour. It’s ideal for those whose abdominal skin and fat do not respond to diet and exercise. Good candidates are healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations.
Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery usually takes 2–5 hours. Recovery includes swelling, bruising, and some discomfort; a compression garment helps reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients can resume light activities within 2–4 weeks, with a full return to normal activities around six weeks.
Results can be long-lasting when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Dr. Clark will guide you through each step to help you achieve and maintain your desired outcome.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Sagging skin around the upper arms can result from weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics and often cannot be corrected with exercise alone. An arm lift, or brachioplasty, reduces excess sagging skin and reshapes the upper arms for a smoother, more defined appearance.
As a body lift specialist, Dr. Clark removes drooping skin, tightens supportive tissues, and can address localized fat pockets. Ideal candidates are healthy, nonsmoking adults with significant upper arm sagging, stable weight, and realistic expectations.
During recovery, your arms may be wrapped with bandages or a compression garment to manage swelling. A small drain may be placed temporarily to remove excess fluid. You’ll receive detailed instructions for caring for your incisions, controlling discomfort, and supporting healing, along with follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
Results include firmer, more contoured arms. While swelling and bruising can temporarily obscure the final outcome, incision scars typically fade over six months to a year. With a healthy lifestyle, improvements can be long-lasting and provide a major boost to your confidence.
Appointments
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and improved contours of the lower body. While liposuction can remove fat, it does not address sagging or inelastic skin — a thigh lift is ideal when both are concerns.
Dr. Clark focuses on creating aesthetically pleasing, long-lasting results while strategically placing incisions so scars are as discreet as possible and easily hidden by clothing.
Good candidates for thigh lift surgery are nonsmokers who maintain a healthy lifestyle and have excess tissue along the inner or outer thighs. Realistic expectations and commitment to long-term health help support durable results.
If you’re considering a thigh lift, Dr. Clark offers personalized care to help you achieve firmer, more contoured thighs that complement your overall weight loss journey and boost your confidence.
