BODY LIFT
Body Lift
Naples Plastic Surgery
A body lift is an advanced body contouring procedure that treats excess skin and fatty tissue in the lower and upper body areas to give patients more aesthetically pleasing figures. With a stellar reputation for cosmetic surgery in the Naples area, Dr. Leo M. Baccaro, Dr. Mark Walsh, and Dr. Andrew Bonett tailor the body lift procedure to meet their patient’s needs and achieve the most aesthetically pleasing results possible. They aim to help their respective patients reach their beauty potential while providing personalized, compassionate care through a safe procedure.
Body Lifts in Naples
In order to be considered good candidates for this cosmetic surgery, patients typically need to follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen and maintain a stable weight, ideally for six months to a year. Patients who have undergone weight loss surgery are not eligible for body lifts until one year after their procedure — a preventative measure our surgeons adhere to for the promotion of patient health.
Dr. Baccaro, Dr. Walsh, and Dr. Bonett offer three types of body lifts:
- Upper body lift
- Lower body lift
- Total body lift
Upper Body Lifts
Patients who are concerned with the appearance of their breasts, chest and mid-back area can opt for an upper body lift. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon creates an incision across the midsection of the back and gently extract excess skin and fat. The surgeon meticulously sculpts the upper torso area to narrow the waistline and smooth the appearance of the back. He may also a perform breast lift — a breast enhancement procedure that raises sagging breasts to a more youthful-looking position, depending upon the patient’s desires.
Lower Body Lifts
Lower body lift surgery is one of the most requested procedures made by new mothers to treat the physical tolls that pregnancy can place on the body. This surgery involves sculpting the appearance of the thighs, stomach, buttocks and hips to achieve slimmer, tighter figures. At Naples Plastic Surgery, the procedure begins with an incision along the outer thigh area and buttocks, as well as an incision across the lower section of the abdomen. Then, the surgeon carefully tightens the lower body area by removing excess tissue and suctioning out fat, if needed.
Total Body Lifts
A total body lift is a combination of both lower and upper body lifts, as well as any other body contouring procedures a patient may request, such as an arm lift or breast lift. Dr. Baccaro, Dr. Walsh, and Dr. Bonett typically perform total body lifting surgery in multiple procedures at their practice in order to minimize the risk of complications.
Recovering from Body Lift Surgery
Unlike most plastic surgery procedures, a body lift requires that patients be admitted to the hospital for two to three nights following the procedure. Body lift is an invasive surgical procedure, so there are risks for complications. After the procedure, Dr. Baccaro, Dr. Walsh, or Dr. Bonett will carefully outline a list of instructions in order to encourage healthy recovery periods and minimize any risks.
Once patients are released from the hospital, patients should rest for four to six weeks before returning to normal daily activities. Our surgeons provide patients with compression garments and dressings until most of the swelling subsides, typically within six weeks.

Works with You for a Great Result
Dr. Walsh is excellent, very patient, and takes the time to listen to your questions and concerns and puts you at ease. He works with you for a great surgery result.
I have been through a lot since undergoing a bi-lateral mastectomy and many reconstructive surgeries that did not go well. I was referred to Dr. Walsh. From the first visit, I knew I was in good hands. I have had amazing results, they look great and I am very happy to feel whole again. He is a great surgeon!
His staff is awesome, they communicate well, and it is a very happy environment, always a pleasure to walk into the office. I highly recommend Naples Plastic Surgery!!
Patient and Professional
Dr Mark Walsh was very patient and professional when asking about my problem. He told me what will be happening for the surgery. Thanks very much.
Very Caring for Patients
Dr. Walsh and his Staff showed concern and were very caring for their Patients!
Dr Gardner is the BEST!
I have been a patient of Dr. Gardners for many years. His ability to relate to his patients is a very calming and caring characteristic. He answers questions with patience and above all, no pressure. The surgeries that I have had, fat augmentation and a neck/chin lift have given me a renewed and fresh look without appearing as if it’s not a totally natural look. I continue to have fillers and Botox by Dr. Gardner and would NEVER consider going to someone else for these procedures.
The staff are incredible! They know their patients by name, interact in a supportive manner and most of all, are very knowledgeable about the procedures and always willing and able to answer questions.
I would very highly recommend Dr. Gardner and his staff.
Simply masterful with a kind soul
Dr. Gardner is simply masterful and a kind soul. He takes great pride in his work and has the experience and expertise to take initiative to achieve the best outcome for patients beyond expectation, often having to adapt to unexpected obstacles from patient history. Experiencing significant pain I went to see Dr. Gardner as a repeat patient, expecting a routine implant revision due to a failure of a fifteen year old reduction procedure. Instead, Dr. Gardner had to remove a significant growth and essentially rebuild the sins of the past into results that realistically were better than had ever presented in my youth, all with minimal incisions and recovery. This is the doctor you seek for exceptional cases and care – you are worth it. He is worthy. Special appreciation to his staff, all of whom genuinely take an interest and embody the values Dr. Gardner brings to the table.
Very Pleasant, Informative, and Thorough
My Visit to Naples Surgery was very pleasant and informative. Walking into the office, she greeted by several very friendly receptionist, very accommodating. Dr Baccaro Was very thorough in going through options for my procedure gave me some thought on how I want to proceed.
Listens and Answers ALL Questions
Dr. Walsh listens to you and answers all questions. The staff is very professional yet friendly and kind.
Amazing Transformation and Exceptional Care
I am incredibly thankful to Dr. Walsh for the amazing transformation he’s given me. I had a skin removal tummy tuck with liposuction and Renuvion, and the results have been life-changing. Dr. Walsh’s expertise and attention to detail made me feel confident throughout the process. He listened to my concerns and tailored the procedure to my needs.
The recovery was smooth thanks to his thorough aftercare instructions and the constant support of his team. Dr. Walsh even came into the office the day after surgery, a Saturday, to check on me, which showed his true commitment to me.
I also want to highlight how wonderful and kind the entire office staff is. Everyone was helpful and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.
I highly recommend Dr. Walsh for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. His skill, professionalism, and dedication are truly exceptional.
Beyond helpful and kind
Dr Baccaro and his team went above and beyond for my breast augmentation surgery. From the consultation to every single post op appointment they were beyond helpful and kind.
I had my implants for 10 years and had significant loss in volume and was afraid I needed a lift but Dr Baccaro was able to give me the perfect new pair without a lift and I am beyond happy with the results. Besides that he also fixed my visible scarring that were left behind from the previous surgeon.
His work is beyond excellent and both him and his team are amazing people.
Months later I went in for lip and nose filler and AGAIN I was left speechless with his work. I have never done any filler in my nose and always wanted a nosejob to fix a bump on my bridge and with less than 1ml in both lips and nose he was able to give me the side profile of my dreams.
Thank you Dr Baccaro and the amazing team. I will 10000% recommend you to anyone I meet needing a procedure done and will continue using your services.
Very pleasant to work with
I am very happy with my experience with Naples plastic surgery and will definitely use them again in the future! I had breast implants that were 34 years old and I had them replaced by Dr Walsh. Believe it or not even after all that time one of the implants was still fully intact when he took it out, the other one had begun to show signs of gumminess from age. Everyone from the office staff, to the doctor himself were very pleasant to work with and overall was a great experience here.
