Tighten and Tone Your Figure with a Body Lift
Sculpting the body of your dreams might be easier than you think. Thousands of patients undergo surgical body lifts every single year to tone loose skin and rebuild their confidence. If you have been struggling with skin laxity issues and stubborn body fat, then you might make an excellent candidate for a body lift.
Understanding Loose Skin
There are a number of reasons why we develop loose skin as we grow older. For some patients, this cosmetic issue is actually the result of losing weight. After months or even years of dieting and exercising, it can be heartbreaking to notice folds of skin around the midsection, arms, or thighs. Others develop loose skin because their bodies are no longer producing essential proteins, such as elastin and collagen.
Will Loose Skin Go Away On Its Own?
Anyone who takes the time to research skin tightening treatments will quickly realize just how many products there are on the market. While these creams and ointments might sound appealing, they rarely do more than moisturize one’s skin. Your skin might naturally tighten as time goes on, but it will never be as firm as it once was. At some point, you will most likely need to consider cosmetic surgery if you would like to tighten your skin and improve your figure.
A Look At A Body Lift
A surgical body lift can take place practically anywhere on an individual’s body. Many patients undergo brow lifts and facelifts every year, but these do little more than shaping the jawline and erase wrinkles. Body lifts, on the other hand, address issues below the neckline. This includes loose folds of skin or excess fat on the buttocks, thighs, abdomen, flanks, arms, and back.
Our surgeon can remove the extra skin and fat from these areas. The tissue underneath can also be repositioned, with the skin then pulled tight. Each body lift procedure is unique, and the actual details of the surgery vary from patient to patient.
Getting Ready For Your Procedure
The ideal candidate for a body lift will be an individual that is already close to their ideal weight. Obese patients and those who fluctuate in weight might not be ready for this surgery. As a general rule, your weight should be stable for at least three months before undergoing a body lift. In the weeks leading up to your surgery, it is vital that you get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated and eat well.
Do The Results Last?
The longevity of the results and your appearance after the surgery both depend on a number of different factors. This includes your age, your genetics and the state of your skin. For patients who stick to a strict diet and exercise regimen, the results can last for years.
