What types of body lifting are there?

A full body lift is different from, for example, a tummy tuck or a breast lift because it involves removing a lot of excess skin from the entire body, and it also differs in that it involves surgery on more than one area of ​​the body. The most common types are as follows. :

• Lower body lift surgery:

  This includes tummy tuck, buttocks, and thighs.

• Upper body lift:

  This surgery is aimed at lifting the arms, back and chest, as well as the face and neck, and is considered one of the very long-term surgeries.

• Combined upper and lower body exercises together:

  It is focused on the whole body, and two or more surgeons must perform the operation on the patient at the same time to help shorten the operation period, but even with a full surgical team, this process can take eight hours or more. …

Who is the bodylifting procedure suitable for?

The best way to determine if a patient is able to remove excess skin after losing a lot of weight is to consult a specialist with a plastic surgeon who specializes in this type of surgery.

 But there are several basic points by which you can determine if you are a potential patient:

• Your current weight:

Have you reached your desired weight? Are you thinking about losing weight?

If you are thinking about losing more weight, then a skin tightening procedure is not suitable for you, because this procedure requires a stable weight so that your skin does not sag again after losing weight again.

• Your general health:

You are healthy? Do you have any chronic medical conditions or medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease? You must be healthy for this operation. You should only consider this surgery after carefully examining your health status.

• Nutrition:

Are you following a healthy lifestyle and consuming enough nutrients in your life, or you have a protein or vitamin deficiency that can interfere with your recovery process and prevent you from getting the best results.

• Smoking:

Do you smoke? Can you quit smoking for about a year (or less or a little more). Smoking interferes and delays the healing process after surgery. If you smoke, you should be aware that you will have to quit smoking about six weeks before surgery and after surgery before completing the recovery process.

In addition, this process requires you to have a stable psychological state, realistic goals and a positive outlook on things, so as not to exaggerate your expectations and realize what this process can give you.

Bodylifting results

Most of the results appear immediately after the operation, but the final results appear after two years as scars appear, and this is what you need to understand when agreeing to this operation. The result is the elastic body you’ve dreamed of.

But nowadays, doctors tend to make surgical incisions in hidden places in order to minimize them and make them invisible, avoiding scars and unwanted consequences of the operation; Also, after recovery, you can use remedies to treat scars and even get rid of them completely.
