CIRCUMFERENTIAL BODY LIFT MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS “AROUND THE WORLD”, THIS LIFE-CHANGING PROCEDURE HAS BEEN PERFECTED BY DR. THOMAS HORN.

Feeling uncomfortable in your skin? Many people who have excess fat and skin around their mid sections find that traditional dieting and exercise just don’t get rid of it. Dr. Thomas Horn with The Georgia Institute For Plastic Surgery performs what is commonly known as the “around the world” body lift, or the Circumferential Body Lift, to safely remove excess body mass from the torso. Think of it as an enhanced tummy tuck that continues around the hips and back to eliminate those annoying ‘muffin tops’. When people lose large amounts of weight, they are often left with excess skin, which has been stretched out over time and no amount of stomach crunches is going to get rid of it. Women are often left with excess skin following pregnancy that just doesn’t snap back at the gym. Along with diet and exercise, the Circumferential Body Lift can take care of these situations for good. In addition to helping people rid themselves of excess skin post weight loss and post pregnancy, he also augments the procedure with liposuction for those who need to rid themselves of excess weight. The procedure has a great bi-product in that it leaves patients with tighter and slightly lifted buttocks. In one instance, a male patient lost 175 pounds and Dr. Horn removed almost 20 pounds of excess skin. Dr. Horn performs dozens of these procedures per year and is the Savannah region’s specialist in this procedure. Patients who have had this procedure are overwhelmingly pleased with their results. “Dr. Horn really listens to his patients to give them what they want.” His goal is to improve the way people feel about themselves and their bodies and his approach is highly individualized for each patient.
