Under the expert guidance of Dr. Farzin Kerendian, our clinic offers comprehensive body contouring services to address the challenges that often accompany massive weight loss.
The Need for Body Lift Post Bariatric Surgery
Massive weight loss, while a significant health achievement, often leaves individuals with excess, sagging skin and uneven contours that can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally distressing. A body lift post bariatric surgery is designed to remove this excess skin and fat, restoring a more natural and aesthetically pleasing body shape.
Ideal Candidates for Body Lift Surgery
The ideal candidates for a body lift post bariatric surgery typically include individuals who have:
- Experienced significant weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes
- Stable weight for at least six months
- Excess skin in multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and arms
- Good overall health with no medical conditions that could impair healing
- Realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery
What to Expect: The Body Lift Procedure
A body lift is a comprehensive procedure that can involve various areas of the body. Dr. Kerendian will discuss your specific needs and goals to develop a tailored surgical plan. The procedure can include:
- Removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms
- Tightening and reshaping the underlying tissue
- Improving the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin
The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay. Dr. Kerendian and his team ensure that each patient receives detailed pre-operative and post-operative care instructions for optimal healing and comfort.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from a body lift can vary depending on the extent of the surgery. Patients can expect to take several weeks off from work and other regular activities. It is normal to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising after the procedure, but these symptoms will gradually subside.
The results of a body lift are visible almost immediately and will continue to improve as swelling decreases and incision lines fade. The final outcome is a smoother, firmer body contour that is more proportionate with your weight and figure.
