Body Lift

A body lift procedure is a cosmetic operation performed to remove the excess skin and/or fatty tissue that exists on a patient's body resulting from age or extreme weight loss. Individuals who aren't able to lose thirty or fourty pounds through diet or exercise also may be good candidates for body lift surgery. Your local surgeon will determine whether you are a good candidate during your consultation. The procedure can take as long as seven hours, and the recovery from a body lift an be painful and extended. Patients have tubes and drains left in their skin for seven to fourteen days following their procedure to drain any tissue fluid or blood. The majority of surgeons will position the scars in bodily areas where they will be easily concealed by a swimsuit or underwear.
