4Lower Body Lift Procedure
A typical procedure of the lower body lift is as follow:
– Step 1: General anesthesia or intravenous sedation is administered to reduce pain and discomfort during the procedure.
– Step 2: Incisions are made around the body to remove excess fat and skin
– Step 3: Once the removal of fat and skin tissues is done, all incisions are closed.
After these main steps, the surgeon will supervise your recovery and wound healing to ensure no complications may happen. [6]
Recovery from a Lower Body Lift
After a lower body lift, you may experience some discomfort, which can be alleviated with painkillers. Pain will subside after one or two weeks. Your doctor may prescribe some medications so that you can control discomfort easily at home. It would be necessary to wear a compression garment and follow a special diet as well. You need to stay at home for at least 2 weeks and avoid physical activities for 4 to 6 weeks. After this period, you can return to normal activities when the wound fully heals. It may take a few weeks or even months for the swelling to disappear. Scars would be permanent, but they will fade in color after 1 year. You can easily hide them with proper underwear. [7]
