If you're considering body lift surgery to address the excess skin after significant weight loss, I wanted to provide you with some key information about the procedure, what to expect, and how I can guide you every step of the way to achieve the best possible results. What is Body Lift Surgery? Body lift surgery, including circumferential abdominoplasty (also known as a 360-degree body lift, belt lipectomy, or lower body lift), is a transformative procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from areas like the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. It’s ideal for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are struggling with loose, sagging skin that cannot be improved through diet or exercise alone. Key Takeaways: The procedure removes excess skin and fat from key areas affected by weight loss. Ideal candidates include individuals who have lost significant weight, maintained a stable weight for at least six months, and are in good health. Recovery takes time, and post-surgery care is essential for the best outcomes. Wearing compression garments, managing pain, and attending follow-up appointments are crucial to a smooth recovery. Complementary Procedures: During your consultation, we can discuss additional treatments like liposuction, thigh lifts, and hernia repairs to further enhance your results. These procedures can be combined with the body lift to provide comprehensive body contouring. The Surgical Process: We will begin with two consultations. The first will be a detailed consultation to discuss your concerns, expectations, and customize a plan specific to your needs. I’ll carefully review the areas of excess skin and fat and determine the best approach. The second consultation is complimentary and is intended for follow-up discussions and clarifications. I ensure that every step of the planning process is focused on providing the best outcome for you. The surgery is performed at Maitland Private Hospital, a well-equipped facility that offers excellent care throughout your procedure and recovery. Recovery and Scar Management: During the first two weeks post-surgery, we focus on intensive wound care, including Healite LED light therapy and regular dressing changes to ensure proper healing and reduce complications. Compression garments must be worn to help reduce swelling and support the surgical site. From week four onwards, I’ll recommend silicone strips for optimal scar management. Managing Risks and Complications: While the surgery offers transformative results, it’s important to be aware of potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and blood clots. I will work closely with you throughout the process to manage these risks, and regular follow-ups will ensure that any issues are identified and addressed early. My Commitment to You: With the right preparation, realistic expectations, and ongoing care, I am confident that body lift surgery can significantly improve your comfort & appearance. I will be there to guide you every step of the way, ensuring the best possible results. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to helping you achieve the body you’ve worked so hard for.

“I had a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty 3 weeks ago. One week post-surgery, the area around my belly button had to be reopened due to an infection, with pus draining from the belly button. I was hospitalized and required 10 days of IV antibiotics. I’ve lost 100kg, and I’m still experiencing some seroma fluid near the belly button after the drains were removed on day 5. I currently have a passive drain in place, which will be removed tomorrow as the seroma fluid has been decreasing. Given my situation, how long should I expect recovery to take after Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty? Thank you for the helpful videos!"
