UNDERSTANDING BODY LIFT PROCEDURES

A body lift procedure addresses significant skin laxity following
major weight loss. When substantial weight is lost quickly, skin often
cannot retract to match the body's new contours, leaving excess
hanging skin that can be corrected through surgical intervention.

WHAT IS A BODY LIFT?

A body lift, or lipectomy, is a comprehensive surgical procedure
designed to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from multiple body
areas, including:

 	* Abdomen
	* Buttocks
	* Hips
	* Thighs

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BODY LIFT SURGERY

Body lift candidates typically demonstrate:

 	* Substantial weight loss (at least 18 months post-bariatric
surgery)
	* Stable body weight for six months
	* BMI below 35 kg/m²
	* Significant excess skin around lower body regions

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Performed in a hospital setting, a body lift typically takes five to
six hours. Board-certified surgeons at Chau Plastic Surgery utilize
general anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure patient comfort and
safety.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery involves wearing compression garments and limiting physical
activity for 4-6 weeks. Most patients can return to light work between
22-28 days post-surgery and resume normal activities at 6-8 weeks.

POTENTIAL PROCEDURE COMPONENTS

 	* Traditional Tummy Tuck
	* Panniculectomy
	* Arm Lift
	* Thigh Lift
	* Butt Lift
	* Liposuction

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Patients should anticipate significant scarring that will fade over 12
months. Protecting scars from UV exposure is crucial to minimize
permanent visibility.

redundant skin that can be corrected through strategic surgical
intervention.

UNDERSTANDING BODY LIFT SURGERY

A body lift procedure addresses significant skin laxity following
major weight loss. When substantial weight is lost rapidly, remaining
skin often lacks the elastic qualities needed to shrink back to a
patient's new body shape, resulting in excess hanging skin.

COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING

At Chau Plastic Surgery, body lift procedures are designed to remove
excess skin and fatty tissue from the middle and lower abdomen while
tightening underlying muscle structures. The surgical approach ensures
dramatic results with strategically hidden incisions.

	* Substantial excess skin around thighs, buttocks, and abdomen
	* BMI below 35 kg/m²

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Body lift procedures are complex surgeries performed under hospital
conditions. Anesthesia options include general anesthesia and IV
sedation, with the specific method determined by the patient's unique
medical profile.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery typically requires three weeks away from work, with full
activity resumption possible around six to eight weeks. Patients
receive comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal
healing and results.
