How Body Lift Surgery in Phoenix Addresses Loose, Sagging Skin

If you’re unhappy with sagging, loose skin on your body due to weight loss, age, or pregnancy, Dr. Craft offers expert body lift surgery to restore firmness and reshape your silhouette. A body lift in Phoenix will lift and tighten the skin, improving your overall shape and tone.

What is a body lift?

A body lift is a life-changing body contouring procedure that successfully tones and slims the stomach, buttocks, chest, back, thighs, hips, waist, and breasts. Excess loose skin and fat are also removed, and the appearance of cellulite is reduced.

Surgical details for a body lift

A body lift is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, and takes four to seven hours.

Those considering a body lift in Phoenix should be aware that this procedure requires extensive incisions, and the location, pattern, and length of these incisions will depend on how much skin will be removed and what areas are being treated. Dr. Craft will discuss everything you need to know about body lift incisions and scars during your consultation, as well as a step-by-step explanation of the surgery. A body lift may be accompanied by liposuction to enhance results.

Recovery

After your body lift in Phoenix, you may have drains placed under the skin in the incision areas. You will be provided instructions on how to empty the drains and measure the fluid during your recovery. You will also be given compression garments to help with swelling and healing. You can expect to have some discomfort and soreness at the incision sites the first week after your body lift. Any pain can be managed with prescription medicine. Many patients experience bruising and swelling after a body lift.

The bruising usually lasts several days, and the swelling may take longer. It’s important to take short walks during recovery to promote circulation, but be sure not to push yourself. Every body lift patient is different because every patient has different areas treated, but the majority of individuals can go back to non-strenuous work or school in ten to 14 days after the procedure. High-intensity exercises and activities should be avoided for three to four weeks after a body lift.
