Body Lift Surgery
What is a Body Lift?
Body lift surgery is a surgical procedure that reshapes the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and buttocks. This operation involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat after a large amount of weight loss. Plastic surgeons often combine this procedure with tummy tuck, buttock and thigh lift. The aim of body lift surgery is to provide the patient with a more fit and aesthetic body shape.
How is Body Lift Procedure Performed?
The surgery usually starts from the patient's back and continues towards the front. The procedure consists of the following stages:

1. Liposuction (Lipoplasty): This procedure is usually performed in combination with a lower body lift.

2. Incisions The incision is made just behind the hip crease and is slightly curved towards the hip bone.

3. Muscle Repair and Stretching: Muscle separation in the anterior abdomen is corrected. Excess fat and skin are removed around the torso; buttocks, hips, thighs and abdomen are stretched.

4. Stitching and Dressing: The incision is closed with organic sutures and gauze is placed over it. After surgery, the patient is taken to the recovery area and may stay in the hospital overnight or longer.

Things to Consider After Surgery

• Recovery Process: Heavy exercises should be avoided and light movements should be performed for 6-8 weeks after surgery. Avoid going out in extremely hot weather.

• Smoking: Smoking is prohibited during surgery and during recovery. Smoking can damage the healing process and cause permanent problems.

• Corset Use: Special corsets should be used after surgery.

Body lift surgery prices vary depending on the degree of sagging, the amount of excess fat and skin. The patient's age and medical condition also affect the cost. In Turkey, these surgeries are performed at reasonable prices. Factors that determine the costs include the method used, materials and the expertise of the doctor.
