Body Lift
Body Lift cases
This technique is usually associated with people who have undergone obesity surgeries such as gastric balloon or stomach reductions, in which weight was significantly reduced (post-bariatric surgery). The desire to regain the figure after a multiple pregnancy or to improve the body silhouette after non-surgical weight loss, are also suitable cases for the technique.
Body areas
This intervention manages to smooth the entire abdominal girdle, which includes the abdomen and waist, in a single operation. This technique can be complementary to or necessary with other techniques such as the lifting of the arms, thighs or breast lift.
How is it performed?
The patient is admitted to hospital for a few days, depending on the case. The operation is performed under the anaesthetic process that best suits the patient’s needs, as a circular strip of skin is removed from the body areas mentioned above.
Postoperative period
After the operation, the patient must rest. Twenty-four hours after the operation, the patient can sit up with assistance. Difficulties for the patient usually arise when trying to stand upright, but after a few days the discomfort will disappear.
