During the recovery period after a body lift, it is recommended to have assistance with daily activities, especially in the first few days when you may experience limited mobility and discomfort. Having a support system in place can help ensure your comfort, safety, and smooth recovery by providing help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and household chores until you regain your strength and mobility.

How soon can I go swimming or soak in a hot tub after a body lift?
After a body lift, it is generally recommended to avoid swimming or soaking in a hot tub until you have fully healed, which typically takes several weeks to a few months. This is to ensure that the incisions have properly closed, reduce the risk of infection, and promote optimal healing.
