Body Lifts
Significant weight loss, pregnancy, and aging are the primary causes for skin to stretch and loose its elasticity, leaving behind droopy, excess skin and residual fat. The different forms of body lift options create the ability for patients, along with Dr. Malek, to develop a highly customizable strategy for combating stubborn fat deposits and excess skin and contour the body to create a tighter, slimmer figure.
RECOVERY
Recovery time depends greatly on the extent of the procedure(s) performed. Specific instructions will be given that will include medication directions, how to dress and re-bandage surgical sites, safe level of activity, compression garment instructions, and follow up visits. A full recovery may take up to 4 to 6 weeks for lower body lifts and longer for total body lifts. Strenuous activities should be avoided for a few months. Patients can typically return to a job that is not physically demanding in 4 to 6 weeks.
