Lower Body Lift San Diego

Lower Body Lift

Indications:

• Excess skin and fat of the buttocks, outer thighs and flanks resulting in sagging of the tissue. Difficult to find clothes to fit the contour.

Procedure Description:

• The procedure is done under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis or in the hospital depending upon the amount of tissue to be removed.
• Incisions are made in the back and can be extended into abdominoplasty type of incisions in the front.
• The incisions are meant to hide in the bathing suit line of the trunk.

Recuperation and healing:

• Two drains are placed in the back and two drains are placed in the front . These drains are usually removed in 7-14 days.
• The incisions are covered with light dressings and the patient is placed in a compression garment which covers the area.
• Initial discomfort subsides daily and will be controlled with pain pump catheters which bathe the area with numbing medicine and oral medications.
• Scars will fade within 12 -24 months.
• Plan to avoid strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks. Too much initial activity will result in prolonged swelling which will take longer to dissipate.
