Transforming Your Appearance with a Body Lift

body lift

Everyone expects to have a perfect body after putting in the hard work to lose a lot of weight, but this does not always happen. You will likely not be able to get rid of some of the loose and excess skin on your body no matter how much you exercise and diet. You may also be dealing with stubborn pockets of fat. While this can be extremely discouraging, Dr. Tarola can help. A body lift may be the best way to transform your appearance after putting in the hard work to lose weight.

A body lift is designed to transform your appearance by improving the shape and tone of your body. This is done by removing excess fat and loose skin. A body lift is primarily done to fix inelastic skin on your stomach, thighs and buttocks. However, it can also address the groin, upper arms and other problem areas. The remaining skin is lifted and tightened to provide a contoured appearance to your body.

While you may see some results as soon as you leave our surgical room, the results of the procedure will only continue to improve over time. It is important to be patient, as it will take some time to see the final results of your body lift. If you maintain a stable weight, then you may be able to enjoy your new and toned body for the rest of your life.

It is imperative to follow the instructions of Dr. Tarola and his team after your body lift to ensure you have an easy and swift recovery. The treated areas will require special attention, and it is ultimately up to you to ensure that the outcome of your procedure is as successful as possible. Make sure to follow all of our team’s instructions regarding healing. Once you have fully recovered, you won’t believe what a difference this procedure has made in your life.

If you are looking to transform your appearance, make an appointment with Dr. Tarola at Tarola Plastic Surgery right now. During your consultation, we will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding this amazing procedure. In addition to transforming your lower body, we can also provide a more youthful look to your face with our non-surgical cosmetic treatments, such as BOTOX®. With offices in Hendersonville and Murfreesboro, TN, Dr. Tarola and his team are committed to helping you achieve your goals for your appearance. Contact us today to schedule a consultation for a body lift!

Who is a Good Candidate for a Body Lift?

body lift

Whether you have whittled off a lot of excess weight or given birth to a healthy baby or two, a flabby midsection doesn’t always respond to a dedicated diet and exercise program. Excess skin can be embarrassing and uncomfortable and fat deposits can make you feel self-conscious.

If you’re considering surgery to help you get a tight, smooth midsection, a body lift may be just the right procedure to address your issues and help you meet your goals. While only you and the surgeon can decide if you’re a good candidate, there are some general guidelines that apply to nearly everyone considering this surgery.

You’re Done with Weight Loss or Nearly There

If you’re still 50 pounds above your goal weight, now is not the time for a body lift. Ideally, you want to be at or very near your final weight before you have surgery. If you have it done too soon and then lose even more weight, you could end up with loose skin all over again.

If you’re still fighting to get off the last five pounds, however, a body lift may help you get there and complete your weight loss journey.

You’re Generally Healthy

If you’re still reeling from recovering from another surgery, childbirth or other big event, you want to wait until you have completely recovered and restored your body to a healthy state before having a body lift done. Surgical results are gained with a combination of an experienced surgeon and a healthy, robust patient. If you’re not at your best, give yourself time to recuperate before scheduling surgery.

You’ve Quit Smoking

Smoking makes it harder for your body to heal any wound, let alone surgical incisions. If you absolutely can’t commit to quitting permanently, at least vow to stop smoking for the months before and after your body contouring. Even temporary cessation boosts your ability to heal properly.

You Have Realistic Expectations

A body lift procedure will not automatically give you the midsection of a supermodel. If you have a short torso now, you will still have a short torso after surgery. If you have stretch marks, tattoos or surgical scars, they may not be removed entirely during the procedure.

You may still see a slight rounding of your belly at times, and you may still not be able to see your abdominal muscles. You will likely have a flat, normal-looking midsection you’d expect to see on someone of your build, weight and frame size.

If you’d like to discuss the possibility of having a body lift procedure, contact Tarola Plastic Surgery today to schedule an appointment. We will be happy to discuss any questions or concerns you have.
