Aging, genetics, the environment, and other factors will typically take a toll on a person’s body over time and cause loss of skin elasticity and weakness in the underlying tissue and muscles. This can cause sagging skin, uneven body contours and compromise the aesthetic appearance. It is possible to counter this condition through diet and exercise up to a point. However, in cases where the condition does not improve significantly through diet and exercise, the cosmetic surgeon may recommend body lift plastic surgery.
Newport Plastic, led by board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Hisham Seify, is a state of the art practice providing a range of body lift surgery procedures. Patients in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and surrounding communities have an opportunity to receive advanced and innovative cosmetic surgery procedures from Dr. Seify.
Fantastic Candidates
Body lift plastic surgery may be suitable for any man or woman who is bothered by the presence of loose skin or uneven body contours in a particular area, which is resistant to diet or exercise. The candidate may have lost the natural elasticity of the skin or underlying tissue due to aging, hereditary factors, sedentary lifestyle, major weight loss, prolonged sun exposure, pregnancy, or previous surgeries.
Body lift cosmetic surgery solutions are typically sought by patients suffering from excess skin or fat deposits in the upper arms, thighs, buttocks, groin, abdomen, face, or breasts. The procedure is designed to reduce excess skin and fat, and enhance the body tone and contours. Patients bothered by the presence of cellulite, which makes the skin appear uneven, wrinkled or dimpled, can also benefit from body lift surgery.
Key Procedures
As an experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Hisham Seify is in a position to offer some of the most effective and advanced body lift procedures to patients in Newport Beach, Orange County, CA, and nearby areas. These procedures may include the following, and more than one procedure may be recommended in some cases, depending on the patient’s aesthetic needs.
- Liposuction
- Breast Lift
- Facelift
- Neck Lift
- Thigh Lift
- Arm Lift
- Mini Tummy Tuck
- Buttock Lift
In most of the body lift procedures, the cosmetic surgeon will use general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia. Most procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure begins with the surgeon placing small incisions in discreet locations in the targeted area. Through the incisions, the excess skin will be removed, and underlying tissue may be tightened as needed.
If the patient suffers from stubborn fat deposits along with sagging skin and muscles, the surgeon may combine the procedure with liposuction to remove excess fat. Once the procedure is completed, the incisions will be closed with sutures or skin adhesive.
Recovery
Most patients will be able to resume their regular activities or go back to work within a week to 10 days after body lift surgery. However, strenuous exercises should be avoided for at least six to eight weeks. Full results of the procedure will appear gradually as the swelling subsides completely.
