What to Expect From a Body Lift
Many people believe a toned body and smooth contours can be achieved with fitness and a healthy diet alone. However, sometimes diet and exercise cannot target loose, sagging skin and many individuals cannot achieve their desired results. Over time, genetics, significant weight loss, pregnancy, and sun damage can cause poor tissue elasticity. Body lifts are cosmetic procedures that can create a firmer, more youthful-looking body.
Lower Body Lift
A complete lower body lift treats the abdomen, waist, hips, and thighs. After anesthesia is administered, a circumferential incision is made around the body at the hips, buttocks, and abdomen. The cosmetic surgeon will tighten and reposition underlying tissues, remove excess skin, and place sutures, skin adhesives, or tapes to close the incision. Sometimes, the surgeon may use liposuction in combination with a lower body lift to achieve the best results.
Upper Body Lift
Upper body lifts begin with a broad, bra-line incision that allows your surgeon to remove fat and excess skin from the back, waist, chest, and lower rib cage. The abdominal skin will be lifted and secured at the lower edge of the ribs. A breast lift is often combined with or included in an upper body lift.
Total Body Lift
For a comprehensive way to rejuvenate your entire figure, a total body lift may be your best option. A total body lift will tighten, lift, and remove excess skin from your arms, thighs, abdomen, breasts, hips, and buttocks.
Body lifts, like any surgical procedure, require a few weeks of recovery to promote full healing and ideal results. You will likely wear compression garments and will be asked to follow your physician’s recommendations for aftercare.
