Male Body Lift in Washington, DC
Restoring Confidence Through Post-Weight Loss Body Contouring
After significant weight loss, the hard work should show—but loose, sagging skin can keep you from seeing your results. If you’ve put in the effort to transform your body but excess skin is holding you back, a male body lift at DC Cosmetic Surgery Center may be the final step in your journey.
Led by Dr. Michael Olding, one of the most respected DC male plastic surgeons, our team helps men across Washington, DC, reclaim a firmer, more confident physique through post-weight loss surgery designed for male aesthetics.
What Is a Male Body Lift?
A male body lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure for men that removes excess skin and tightens underlying tissue after significant weight loss.
It can target multiple areas—commonly the abdomen, flanks, lower back, thighs, and buttocks—to restore a more toned and masculine shape. This procedure is often part of a larger body sculpting plan for men, especially after bariatric surgery or extreme weight loss through diet and exercise.
The surgery focuses on lifting and tightening sagging skin, removing stubborn fat pockets, and refining the body’s natural contours. Unlike weight loss surgery, which reduces fat, a body lift is about reshaping what’s left behind—so you feel fully at home in your body again.
His hands and surgical skills are legendary
I have known Dr. Olding for over 20 years. He has worked on many close to me and myself. He is the most honest, ethical plastic surgeon I know. He doesn’t sugar-coat or tell Ugly Betty she will look like a movie star after he is done and sucks 100 lbs out of her. I refer to him frequently and would highly suggest anyone considering cosmetic surgery should at least get an opinion from him because HE WILL BE HONEST. His hands and surgical skills are legendary.

Who Is a Candidate for a Male Body Lift?
You may be a strong candidate if you’re a man who has achieved substantial weight loss and now faces sagging or loose skin in the midsection or lower body.
Candidates should be in good overall health, have stable weight for at least six months, and not smoke, as nicotine can interfere with healing.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Every male body sculpting procedure at DC Cosmetic Surgery Center is tailored to the individual. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours, depending on the areas addressed.
Dr. Olding uses discreet incisions to remove excess skin, tighten underlying tissue, and reshape the body’s natural lines. Liposuction may also be used to refine contours.
A lower body lift often includes the abdomen, flanks, and lower back, while some patients may also benefit from a thigh or buttock lift. You’ll know exactly what to expect ahead of time, with a detailed surgical plan crafted to your anatomy and goals.
What to Expect After Surgery
Recovery from a body lift takes time, but the results are worth it. You’ll wear compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling. Most men need about two weeks away from work and four to six weeks before resuming strenuous activity.
As swelling subsides, your new shape begins to form, revealing your transformation’s full extent.
Benefits of Body Lift Surgery for Men
A male body lift offers more than physical improvement—it restores confidence and allows your hard-earned results to shine. Benefits include smoother body contours, a firmer midsection, improved comfort in clothing, and freedom from excess skin that can cause irritation or restrict movement.
It’s not about perfection—it’s about revealing your progress and helping you feel stronger, more confident, and more complete.
