They will provide specific instructions and guidance based on your individual case, which may include adjusting pain medication, applying pressure to control bleeding, or arranging for a prompt follow-up examination to assess your condition and ensure appropriate management of any complications.

Will a body lift affect my ability to exercise or participate in sports?
After a body lift, it is important to gradually reintroduce physical activity and exercise into your routine, following your surgeon’s recommendations. While there may be some temporary limitations, such as avoiding high-impact activities or heavy lifting during the initial recovery period, once you have fully healed, you should be able to resume your regular exercise routine and participate in sports with improved comfort and confidence, as the body lift procedure is designed to address excess skin and tissue that may have hindered your mobility or athletic performance in the past.

Can liposuction remove excess fat around the face or neck?
While liposuction can be performed in these areas, it is important to note that facial and neck fat deposits are often better addressed through alternative procedures such as neck lift or facelift, which can provide more precise and targeted results to achieve a rejuvenated and harmonious facial appearance.

How does liposuction work?
Liposuction works by removing excess fat deposits through small incisions and a thin tube called a cannula, which suctions out the unwanted fat, contouring and reshaping the treated areas. It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss method, but rather a body contouring technique best suited for individuals who have reached a stable weight and have specific areas of localized fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
