Many people have excess skin on their buttocks, outer thighs and abdomen after they lose a significant amount of weight. This is a very frustrating problem to deal with, especially since people work so hard to lose weight in the first place. A circumferential abdominoplasty, which is commonly referred to as a lower body lift in Evansville, IN, can remove excess skin from around the trunk. This creates a smoother abdominal shape. It also smooth’s the upper portion of the outer thighs and lifts the buttocks.
It is very important for you to select a qualified plastic surgeon. Dr. Zieg is a cosmetic surgeon who is qualified to perform a variety of procedures. During the consultation, he will examine you and discuss your needs and expectations.
It takes about two or three hours to perform a lower body lift. After the surgery, the patient will have a scar that travels from the lower abdomen to the area above the buttocks. The good news is that this scar can easily be concealed under most clothing.
People are advised to wait between 10 and 14 days before returning to work and their other activities. They are also advised to wait between four and six weeks before returning to strenuous activities.
A lower body lift is a safe procedure, but it carries risks just like any other surgical procedure. Dr. Zieg will discuss the possible surgical risks of this procedure during your consultation.
