360 Body Lift
The 360 Body Lift procedure is designed to reduce the look of laxity or creasing on the entire body through the elevation and tightening of skin and muscle tissue.
Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
You could be a potential recipient of the 360 Body Lift procedure if you want to rid yourself of any loose skin and fat in multiple areas on your body. It is recommended to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for an individualized evaluation and discussion about your health background and personalized goals.
How is the procedure performed?
The 360 Body Lift is typically done with general anesthesia and involves making circumferential incisions to remove skin and fat from multiple areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and chest. After trimming away any excess tissue, the underlying muscles are tightened in order to create a more youthful and sculpted look.
How long does the procedure usually last?
The procedure can take anywhere from 4-8 hours to complete, depending on the extent of the treatment.
How long will I need to remain in the hospital after the procedure?
The 360 Body Lift is usually done on an outpatient basis, so you won’t need to remain in the hospital post-procedure. However, you should make sure that someone can accompany you home after the procedure, as the anesthesia may take a few hours to fully wear off.
What is the healing process after surgery?
Following the 360 Body Lift, some swelling and bruising may occur, but should go away within a few days. There might be some discomfort as well, so it’s important to take any prescribed pain medication and adhere to the surgeon’s post-operative instructions in order to manage your recovery period properly. This includes avoiding strenuous physical activity for a certain period of time.
Will the procedure leave scars?
A 360 Body Lift creates scars in various areas of the body, but they should fade with time and won’t be noticeable when wearing clothes.
How long before I can return to my normal daily activities?
Following a 360 body lift procedure, most people can resume their normal routines within a week or two. While you may feel ready to get back to your regular activities, it is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for aftercare and avoid any strenuous activity until the swelling subsides. Depending on the individual, it may take several weeks or months for the final results to be noticeable.
