Lower Body Lift

Preparation for procedure

Your journey to a newer, shapelier version of you begins with a one-on-one consultation with the surgeon herself. Dr. B. Aviva Preminger lends a compassionate ear to learn more about your struggles with weightloss and long-held issues regarding your natural body contours. By understanding what makes you feel best about yourself and learning what drove you to make the decision to have a lower body lift, Dr. Preminger can make one of the best recommendations for your procedure.

Once you have established clear goals of surgery, the doctor will review your medical history and conduct a detailed examination of the skin, soft tissue, and muscles that will be affected during low body lift surgery.

At this point, she will review more details concerning the procedure and answer any question that comes up along the way.

The consultation is a wonderful opportunity to not only learn as much as you can about the procedure, but also about your plastic surgeon. Dr. Preminger prides herself as much on her relationship with patients as on the work itself. Ease of communication builds a bond of trust that is reinforced by a beautiful result.

Recovery & results of lower body lift

Dr. B. Aviva Preminger recommends taking two to three weeks for recovery, although it is possible to return to (light duty) work in as little as 10 days.

Small drain tubes must be emptied daily for about a week, at which point the surgeon will remove them. All sutures will dissolve on their own. Patients are sent home with compression bands and written instructions on post-operative care. Walking right away is a good idea to prevent blood clots. Light elliptical or treadmill walking can be resumed after 10 days, with moderate activity allowed at three weeks and strenuous exercise at six weeks.

Recovery rates are variable and based on the individual’s ability to heal, but generally, most swelling and discoloration should subside after a month or two. It could take up to six months for all swelling to fully dissipate. Call your doctor if you experience unwanted symptoms like heavy bleeding or persistent pain.

Lower body lift results are evident immediately, but the final shape and feel is achieved in roughly three months. You’ll notice that you look healthier and toned. You can expect to feel lighter and more agile as well. The results are generally permanent, though they can be affected by pregnancy or large weight gain. Adherence to a healthy diet and exercise regimen ensures the longevity of your results.
