As the summer days draw longer and hotter, we find ourselves wearing less clothing to help cool us off from the heat. Perhaps in doing this, we also start finding areas on our bodies that no matter how hard you try, just never seem to diminish. Exercise and diet are fantastic for some people, but you have tried being diligent balancing the two. Perhaps you have tried all of the trendy fad diets as well, but nothing seems to get you the results you want. Sometimes we need to have that extra little help to get the body of our dreams.
Body lifts are medical procedures that assist in contouring while firming loose, saggy skin on different areas of the body through surgical intervention. A full body lift will take the same aspect but instead apply them, contouring the entire body with a focus on the tummy, breasts, arms, thighs and butt areas. Body lifts are ideal for individuals who have also undergone a radical weight loss which result in large areas of loose skin. Skin tissue loses firmness and elasticity over time due to age, poor diets, genetics and sun exposure.
A body lift typically is broken down into three individual procedures which include the tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, a butt lift, and a bilateral/lateral thigh lift. A full body lift is a little more extensive when compared the lower, upper, or mid body lift. Because of its complexity, many doctors will perform a full body lift in sessions, focusing on one specific body part at a time. A full lift may take 4-5 hours to complete and must require that the patient be put under general anesthesia. The surgery itself sounds simple but involves complex techniques for the removal of the fat deposits and excess skin.
Because of its intricate process, many patients are carefully considered and selected before undergoing the full body lift. Ideal candidates are those who:
• Are ready to change their lifestyle and are committed to maintain this lifestyle after their surgery.
• Have lost abruptly between 30-40% of their weight
• Shows significant signs of rapid weight loss through large quantities of loose and flabby skin all over.
• In overall healthy condition which shows no risks of developing harmful effects from the surgery.
• Are mentally and psychologically stable to visualize realistic ideas concerning the results of the surgery.
When opting to have a body lift done, the results will be dramatic and almost instantaneous. As your body begins to heal, the changes will only improve as the bruising and swelling from post-surgery start to fade. While this healing process is different for every individual, most restrictions will generally be the same.
