What is Body Lift Recovery Like?
As body lifts are performed under general anesthesia, you will need to arrange for a trusted caregiver, such as a family member or friend, to drive you home after the procedure. Patients can expect drains and compression garments to be in place to alleviate swelling. Some discomfort can also be expected, and Dr. Ourian will prescribe pain medication for the early stages of the recovery process. Most patients take two weeks off of work to rest and recover after a body lift. More strenuous activity, including exercise and lifting heavy objects, should be avoided for four to six weeks. Dr. Ourian will monitor your healing during postoperative appointments and give you detailed instructions for the recovery process.
What Procedures Can I Combine with a Body Lift?
Many patients who have previously lost a significant amount of weight pair their Beverly Hills body lift with an arm lift, thigh lift, or breast lift. A breast lift is designed to reposition the breasts without increasing their size through the use of implants as in a breast augmentation. This procedure can be beneficial for patients whose breasts appear to sag due to skin laxity. An arm lift is also an option for patients who have excess loose skin on the upper arms. Finally, while the body lift tones the buttocks and lower abdomen, a thigh lift can be combined with this procedure to further remove excess skin from the legs.
During your consultation, Dr. Ourian will evaluate your concerns and come up with a custom treatment plan that will meet your ideal results.
How Much Does a Body Lift in Beverly Hills Cost?
The final cost of a body lift in Los Angeles varies depending on the extent of the surgery, the number of areas you are treating, whether you are undergoing an upper or lower body lift, the geographic location where the surgery is performed, and the expertise of your surgeon. Dr. Ourian’s patient concierge will give you a more specific cost estimate for your body lift after a thorough consultation.
