full body lift
what is a body lift?
A full body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, removes excess skin and fatty tissue, often caused by extreme weight loss, pregnancy or general aging. Improving the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin for the full body, a full body lift provides a solution to stretched, loose skin that has permanently lost its elasticity. Offering dramatic, permanent results, contours of the body are lifted, smoothed, and flattened. Likewise, sagging skin around the abdomen, hips and buttocks are tightened and lifted. Dimpled, irregular skin, also known as cellulite, may also be improved with the full body lift procedure.
a body lift may include these areas:
Abdominal Area: Excess abdominal fat and sagging skin that is local or extends around the sides and into the lower back area.
Buttocks: Low, flat or asymmetrical buttocks may be lifted and tightened.
Groin: Unflattering skin and fat that extends from the crease of the groin to the inner thigh.
Thigh: Inner, outer, poster thigh and thigh circumference that suffers from drooping skin and unwanted fatty tissue.
what a body lift will not do
A belt lipectomy is not intended for those who desire to solely remove excess fat. Liposuction alone can remove unwanted fat deposits in targeted areas where skin has retained elasticity and is able to naturally adjust to the new body contours.
In cases where skin elasticity is poor, a combination of liposuction and a body lift technique may be recommended.
body Lift recovery
During recovery, dressings or bandages will be applied to any incisions incurred during the procedure. Small, thin tubes may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood.
Specific instructions, including how to care for the surgical sites following surgery, medication doses and applications, and how to avoid infections, will all be addressed by Dr. Adibfar prior to the surgery, during consultation.
Due to the varying nature of the procedure, recovery times may fall between two to three weeks.
