Understanding Body Lift Surgery

A body lift is an advanced plastic surgery procedure designed to remove excess, sagging skin following significant weight loss. This transformative surgery helps individuals who have worked hard to lose weight enjoy their new physique without feeling self-conscious about loose, hanging skin.

Procedure Overview

  • Removes excess skin from legs, arms, stomach, and other body areas
  • Typically takes 1-3 hours depending on skin removal complexity
  • Designed to minimize surgical scarring

Ideal Candidates for Body Lift

The most suitable candidates for a body lift procedure include:

  • Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight
  • Healthy, non-smoking patients
  • Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure

During the body lift, Dr. Brenman strategically makes incisions to remove sagging skin. The surgical technique focuses on creating natural-looking contours while minimizing visible scarring. Some insurance companies may partially cover the procedure, recognizing potential health benefits of skin removal.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect immediate visible results, though initial swelling and bruising are common. Most individuals will see their final body contours emerge around six months post-surgery, with complete results potentially taking up to one year.

Recovery Guidelines

  • Wear compression garments to reduce swelling
  • Take 1-2 weeks off work
  • Avoid intensive exercise for approximately 4 weeks

He is not a FACIAL plastic surgeon! Go somewhere else! Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. For someone who saves thousands of dollars to get a procedure later in life that they’ve wanted and the outcome was FAR from desirable is beyond disappointing. The outcome wasn’t even at all what we talked about. His office computer equipment is outdated; the picture on his website is exaggerative and fabricated. He took black-and-white pictures of me and they were all pixilated, they were not at all those colorful great pictures you see on his website with him smiling showing the patient the before and after. But during my initial appointment he said that the pictures may look a little weird, but it is state of the art equipment and technology!!! MORE LIES FROM DOCTOR SCOTT BRENNAN!! Abington Surgical Center was just as awful, the main nurse Jackie rushed me out after the procedure, WALKED me out, and I was completely aware and awake and passed the anesthesiologist and wanted to ask him a question, he was in a room to the left as I was walking out, he was very nice and welcomed my question, it was about a medication that I wanted to see if interacted with the anastasia. Jackie pulled me away so quickly and was so awful and brought me outside. I should have said something and reported her. It was atrocious! So, normally you have a splint on your nose for. 6-7 days. Dr. Brennan insisted that it get taken off my nose in only 4! I went in for the procedure on a Tuesday morning and he said that I needed to come back on Saturday to get it off! I said it’s usually a week. He looked very surprised & said well you can get white heads if you don’t. I called the office to double check and Gina, who is just as awful, said “well he’s coming in just for you to take it off” So fast forward a few days after the procedure, I showed up to get it off, and the whole waiting room was full of patients!!! Obviously it was just not coming in for me! It was prob a convenience thing for him! He took the splint off, jiggling it hard and it really hurt! The dorsal hump was Not down and it looked like it barley even changed! I showed up for my one week and two months follow up ( at that time, at that time, he said if the results continue to look like that, no charge, he will fix it but need to wait a year) and nothing changed and then I stopped because they were not responding to me about their results! Yes, I know the Swelling is expected, but its been 3 years and looks like the crappiest job, the before and after pics are clearly unnoticeable! The “doctor” is either unskilled, uneducated, or did a crappy job on purpose so I’d pay more $$ to have him fix it! I called the office and emailed on multiple occasions and Gina never responded! NOT ONE RESPONSE! And it was confirmed my messages were received and read! She was sure quick to respond before the surgery and upon taking my money. When he finally responded, after 20 attempts to contact them and telling them that due to negligence I will be escalating the issue, then they finally responded! They also both lied about not receiving emails or voicemails! He attitude was poor, he took absolutely ZERO liability and accountability for his unprofessional results, and was dry and unfriendly! He didn’t even remember that he told me he would fix it, he was trying to charge me more money to fix it!! And then, when I reminded him a couple times that he told me he would fix it at no cost, since it was done professionally and unskilled the first time, he appeared to get irritated with no recollection that he told me that, but then agreed to fix it but at that point I didn’t even feel comfortable with him, and under his care! My nose is still tender on the bridge to this day! And I have to look at it every day to remind me of the poor choice I made to have this doctor perform this surgery. This doctor and practice is flawed! I am so envious when I see good results from other docs, and people tell me they went to Hove and all of the services they received and wonderful communication after the procedure!
