Sunset’s Los Angeles body lift procedure addresses
a serious problem created by major weight loss - with significant
weight loss over a relatively short period of time, the remaining
skin doesn't always retain the elastic qualities needed to shrink
back to a patient's new, smaller shape. This often leaves patients
with excessive amounts of hanging skin, which can be corrected with
our Los Angeles body lift procedure. Circumferential body lift is
a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from
the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten muscles of the abdominal
wall. Los Angeles body lift results can be very, very dramatic,
and the scar is hidden in the underwear area. A Los Angeles body
lift is a major procedure and therefore it is often done in a hospital.
The circumferential Los Angeles body lift is not a surgical treatment
for being overweight. Obese individual who intend to lose weight
should postpone all forms of body contouring surgery, including
Los Angeles body lifts, until they have been able to maintain their
weight loss.
Typical Recovery Time After a Los Angeles Body Lift: Our Los
Angeles body lift procedure typically has a longer recovery period
than a tummy tuck or other procedure because of the extent of the
internal sewing. Patients typically return to normal activity at
approximately 6 to 12 weeks after a Los Angeles body lift. This
is to allow the incisions and surrounding tissues to heal after
the Los Angeles body lift procedure has been successfully completed.
