The good news is lower body lift in Dubai can help you overcome such challenges by removing extra fat and skin from your lower extremities and hip region. It also boosts your confidence, makes you comfortable with your body physique, and completes your weight loss transformation journey with a happy ending.
What Is Lower Body Lift?
Lower body lift or belt lipectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the loose skin and subcutaneous fat from your lower body. It helps you achieve a 360-degree toned look by working on your lower abdominal area, hips, thighs, and buttocks, thus giving you a more youthful appearance.
The procedure is popular among men and women for providing dramatic results in overall appearance. It is a highly customized treatment and can be combined with other procedures like liposuction to achieve a balance between the torso and thighs.
Although it leaves an extensive, visible scar all around the patient’s waist, it can be covered with bikini underwear as it is placed low in the abdomen and back and higher at the thighs.
What to Expect?
This aesthetic procedure is usually done after extreme weight loss and caters to the disproportionate body appearance. One can expect the following benefits after the treatment.
An overall smooth and youthful appearance
More toned, firmer, and slimmer waist
Tightening of sagging and drooping skin around the thighs and hips
Boosted self-confidence
No more rashes and infections due to overhanging skin
The scar is hidden under the underwear or swimwear
Lower Body Lift Procedure
Consultation
During the consultation, your Plastic Surgeon examines your body and reviews your lab reports and medical and previous surgical histories. They also explain the procedure, its benefits, and its risks. Not to mention the comprehensive measures taken before and after the surgery are discussed to achieve the best outcomes from the treatment.
Procedure
Lower body lift is a highly invasive surgery that takes around 6-9 hours and is done under general anesthesia. Before the surgery, the Plastic Surgeon preps the area and marks the area for the incision.
The incision wraps around the waist that runs from the lower abdomen (pelvis area) through the upper thighs and continues to the lower back above the butts. The Surgeon then removes the excess skin and treats the underlying muscles. Then he or she repositions the tissues and pulls the skin over, creating a smooth and toned look.
Ultimately, they close the incision with stitches and surgical staples and dresses the wound with bandages. Drain are also placed to collect the fluid leaks.
What Does Recovery Look Like?
A belt lipectomy requires a post-operative stay in the hospital for 1-2 days. After the surgery, the patient is prescribed painkillers to alleviate pain and discomfort. The snug-fitting garment is also given to control the swelling. Moreover, the patients should keep their upper body in an elevated position to minimize the pressure on the wound for a speedy recovery.
Drains are removed once there is no more leakage. Patients can resume their routine after a few weeks but must avoid strenuous exercises for approximately two months. Although scars will fade after 12-18 months, they never disappear completely. Lastly, the full recovery with final results takes around one to two years.
