Body Lift

 

The incisions for body lift surgery are specially placed in natural body folds, in locations that allow clothing to easily cover your scars. Skin and tissue below the incisions is removed and lifted as needed. Dissolvable sutures are placed, along with drains to remove fluid that accumulates during recovery.

 

After Body Lift Surgery

 

Recovery time is approximately 1-2 weeks. During this time, pain medications can be prescribed and an elastic compression garment is worn to reduce swelling. Light exercise can be resumed after a 2-3 weeks, and normal activity can re resumed after 4-6 weeks. Once a full recovery is realized, patients can maintain a regular exercise routine to optimize the results of surgery.
