How does it work?

A full body lift is a permanent approach to recontour the body following significant weight reduction from dieting or bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, sleeve, or band surgery).

A full body lift tackles difficulty locations using a variety of treatments to achieve a more defined shape. A complete body lift may entail many steps, depending on the patient, such as buttock and thigh lifts, arm lifts (brachioplasty), stomach (tummy) tucks (abdominoplasty), and liposuction. Women may also opt for a breast lift (mastopexy) as part of their therapy. Your surgeon will go through any further procedures and processes to assist you decide on the best course of therapy for you as an individual.

A few images of your body are going to be essential to determine which treatments are required.

You will be given thorough preparatory instructions, and you will know what treatments you will get as well as when they will be performed. While a complete body lift often consists of many treatments, such as buttock and thigh lifts, arm lifts (brachioplasty), stomach tucks (abdominoplasty), and liposuction, all of them cannot be done at the same time. You will be instructed on the treatments you require and when they will be carried our. A maximum of two procedures (e.g., arm lift surgery and stomach tuck) may normally be performed in a single session.

• Treatment

You will be admitted to the hospital the day before your surgery. On the day of the procedure, you are usually given a premedication to prepare you for the anesthesia. It will make you feel a little drowsy and more relaxed. When you arrive in the operating room, your surgeon will swiftly go over the fundamental elements of your complete body lift procedure. You will be given general anesthesia and closely monitored during the procedure.

A few incisions are normally made before beginning full body lift surgery. These are apron-shaped and worn over the belly. They allow your surgeon to access extra fat and skin and reach problem regions. After that, the skin is cut in preparation for repositioning. The abdomen region is tighter and more cosmetically attractive once the skin is repositioned. Underlying muscles and tissue are adjusted to provide greater support, and tiny fatty deposits can be removed surgically at the same time. When there are persistent pockets of fat, liposuction may be chosen. The navel can be moved for a more natural appearance if necessary.

Depending on the operations you choose, your surgeon may do a buttock lift or an arm lift, both of which usually last a few minutes. An incision is created along the bottom border of the arm, where it will be less visible, using the same procedures. Before the skin is sewn into place, excess skin and fat are cut and removed.

• Recovery

When the treatment is finished, your surgeon will apply dressings or bandages to the incisions. You will also be given information on what drugs you will need to take to help with your recuperation, how to care for your surgery sites, and when to see your doctor. Patients typically spend six weeks at home following a body lift treatment.

Men, in particular, frequently find that an upper body lift effectively addresses any sagging skin and extra fat. A common procedure can include fat roll excision from the back and brachioplasty to recontour the arms.
