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
