Body Lift In Ladera Ranch, CA
Model
A body lift is a procedure designed to remove excess or loose abdominal skin and improve the tone of the underlying musculature. Body lift surgery is often necessary after patients lose a significant amount of weight and develop folds of excess skin and tissue that do not respond to exercise. A body lift can simultaneously remove extra tissue around the buttocks, abdomen, waist, and hips for overall enhancement.

Body Lift Procedure
Before Surgery
Dr. Doezie will provide you with detailed instructions to prepare for your body lift surgery. Preparation may involve:
- Quitting tobacco use at least four weeks before surgery
- Making arrangements with a friend or relative to drive you to and from your surgery appointment and care for you for the first 24 hours of recovery
- Acquiring all necessary compression garments and loose-fitting clothing to maximize comfort during recovery
- Filling prescriptions as instructed by Dr. Doezie
Procedure
- Excision is required to remove excess skin from around the abdomen and buttocks. After skin removal, the incision is sutured closed.
- Muscle repair is necessary to strengthen separated or weakened rectus muscles. First, the affected muscles are stitched together, and then the excess abdominal skin is excised.
- Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with body lift surgery to produce optimal results. Patients who struggle with stubborn fat deposits throughout their body may be ideal candidates for liposuction.
Aftercare
You should follow all aftercare instructions given to you by Dr. Doezie for a quick and smooth recovery. Be sure to take all medications as prescribed by your surgeon to reduce discomfort and the risk of infection. Swelling is expected during the first few weeks after surgery, but it can be minimized by dedicated use of compression garments. Normal activity should be limited during the initial stages of recovery, and strenuous activity should be avoided for six weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the risks associated with body lift surgery?
Complications after body lift surgery are uncommon, and they can be avoided by carefully following all aftercare instructions. Risks associated with any surgical procedure include:
- Unfavorable scarring
- Bleeding
- Changes in skin sensation
- Abnormal reaction to anesthesia
- Fluid accumulation
How long do the results of body lift surgery last?
The results of body lift surgery are intended to be permanent, but significant weight fluctuations and the natural aging process can cause some abdominal skin laxity that may necessitate follow-up treatment. Results of body lift surgery can be maintained by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Am I a good candidate for body lift surgery?
Good candidates for body lift surgery are in good health, do not smoke, and have maintained a stable body weight for at least one year. Individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery must wait at least one year before undergoing body lift surgery. To determine if you are a good candidate for body lift surgery, it is best to schedule a personalized consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
How much does body lift surgery cost?
The cost of body lift surgery varies based on the geographical location of the surgery, the procedural techniques, and the surgeon who performs the operation. Body lift surgery may be partially covered by health insurance when it is performed to relieve medical symptoms; however, pre-certification is often required for reimbursement or insurance coverage. During your consultation, Dr. Doezie will determine your exact quote and assist you with insurance verification.
