INDICATIONS
Excess skin that extends not only on the abdomen but around the sides of the legs with laxity of the buttocks from weight loss.
INTENDED RESULTS
Tightening and lifting of the skin. A more positive self image. Before and after photos available at office consultation...
PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
The procedure is done on a two night stay basis. Patients are put under sedation through general anesthesia. An incision is made around the waist and the abdominal tissues are dealt with in a similar fashion as a tummy tuck. The buttock and the side of the legs are also lifted.
RECUPERATION AND HEALING
Total Body Lift is one of the more uncomfortable cosmetic surgery procedures. Two days of hospitalization or skilled nursing care is usually indicated. Light activity is comfortable in 2-3 weeks. Sports will not be comfortable for about 6 weeks. Your incisions will feel somewhat rigid or firm and have a reddish purple appearance for several months. You can normally return to work 4-6 weeks following a Total Body Lift.
OTHER OPTIONS
An additional procedure that would enhance the result is Liposuction.
NOTE
The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are unusual.
