LOWER BODY LIFT IN FORT LAUDERDALE

A well-toned body with smooth contours can be a sign of fitness achieved by healthy diet and exercise. But exercise can’t always bring about results for individuals who have loose, sagging skin and uneven contours. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy, and significant fluctuations in weight, as well as genetic factors, may contribute to poor tissue elasticity and can result in a sagging abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Zoran Potparic helps his patients have the attractive body contours they want with body lift surgery in Fort Lauderdale.

WHEN SHOULD I GET A LOWER BODY LIFT AFTER WEIGHT LOSS?

Deciding when to pursue a body lift after weight loss involves a careful assessment of various factors. It is advisable to consider this procedure once weight loss has stabilized, typically following bariatric surgery or significant lifestyle changes. The aim is to address excess skin and tissue that often accompanies substantial weight loss, resulting in a more contoured and proportionate physique. Patients should be at or near their target weight, and their overall health should be optimized for surgery. Additionally, individuals should allow sufficient time for the body to adapt to the new weight, ensuring that the majority of weight loss-related changes have occurred before undergoing a lift.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN IT COMES TO LOWER BODY LIFT RESULTS?

Expectations for lower body lift results should be grounded in the understanding that this comprehensive procedure aims to address excess skin and tissue across the mid and lower body. The outcome typically includes a firmer, more toned appearance, particularly in the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. The extent of improvement varies depending on factors such as individual anatomy, the amount of loose skin, and the surgical technique employed. While significant improvements are noticeable immediately, final results emerge as postoperative swelling subsides, usually within a few months. It’s crucial for patients to maintain realistic expectations and understand that scarring is an inherent aspect of the procedure, strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible.
