What is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift in Westchester, NY, also known as the Belt Lipectomy, is a procedure that makes possible a major transformation of the mid and lower body areas. While it removes excess skin and sagging fat around the abdomen area, including hips, groin, outer thighs, and buttocks, a body lift is not a resistive fat removal process. Depending on the elasticity of your skin, a body lift in combination with liposuction can produce optimum results. Your best choices for improving the shape and tone of your body depend on your skin’s elasticity, where the fat deposits are located, and the results you desire.

What is an Upper Body Lift?

An upper body lift is needed whenever a massive weight loss patient presents with a "dropped out" lateral inframammary crease.

It is a combination of a Brachioplasty, upper-back resection, and breast reconstruction. The operation is designed to reverse the particular deformity a patient presents with.

The Best Body Lift Candidates

For the best and longest lasting results, Long Island lower body lift candidates should be committed to a healthy non-smoking lifestyle that includes good nutrition and exercise. They should be positive in spirit and understand what a body lift procedure can accomplish for them. Ideally, they should be healthy without pre-existing medical conditions that could complicate the surgery or extend healing time. A body lift is intended to last for many years. How you take care of yourself and your health is a big factor in your success.

What Does A Body Lift Involve?

One of our surgeons will evaluate the pattern of incisions and advanced techniques required to properly perform your body lift in Long Island. The procedure best suited to your needs will depend upon several factors, including which areas of your body need to be addressed as well as other cosmetic considerations. The general procedure includes:

Anesthesia

Either intravenous or general anesthesia depending on your doctor’s recommendation.

Incisions 

Incision patterns (mostly outlining the bikini region) are made that will best tighten the abdomen, groin, waist, thigh, and buttocks. This enables the removal of excess skin and fat so that underlying tissues can be tightened and better supported.

Sutures

Closing the incisions with advanced techniques and deep support sutures within the foundational tissue bring about an almost immediate and significant improvement in your contours.

Although you may see quick results after your surgery, your fully developed shape can take one or two years to achieve. A body lift resets your skin, fat layer, and underlying tissue for optimum aesthetic growth into the firmer and trimer profile you’ve wanted.

Recovery

During recovery following your lower body lift in Long Island, dressings are applied and changed as you heal. In some cases, tiny thin tubes may be placed just under the skin for drainage purposes. Your plastic surgeon and support staff will remain in close contact with you and give you specific instructions and guidance regarding caring for your healing process and ways to avoid complications and maintain your general health.

As every patient has specific needs, the time in which bandages can be removed can vary. The important thing to remember is that the care you take during your brief recovery can pay you back many times over with the final result. Some scars will remain but the overall results should minimize their effect. Body lift results are often relatively permanent.

Body Lift vs Body Contouring–Which Procedure is Right for me?

Body contouring is designed to tighten, tone, and firm the physique. This procedure typically addresses loose skin or stubborn fat deposits that remain on various areas of the body after significant weight loss. Candidates for this procedure are dealing with excess, sagging skin and stubborn fat pockets and are looking to firm and tone the body.

A body lift is a more significant surgical procedure that produces a major transformation of the mid and lower body areas, removing excess skin and sagging fat around significant areas of the body, including the hips, groin, outer thighs, and abdominal area, and buttocks. A body lift is not necessarily designed to remove fat the way body contouring can, but it can be combined with liposuction to achieve more significant results. Candidates for this procedure have significant loose, hanging skin and would like to lift and sculpt their body.
