Texas is a state that is, and has always been, on the public spotlight. The state has always kept in touch with modern trends, while at the same time, retaining its classic "Americana" feel. One of its cities, Houston, being a trendy city, takes personal appearance seriously. The recent wave of health and fitness has reached Houston, and its citizens are dealing with the issue head-on. Many have lost weight, whether through strict dieting, exercise, or through plastic surgery, like liposuction. All of this weight lost will leave many with loose and sagging skin, which will have to be removed. Body lift surgery is the procedure of choice to deal with this problem.
Body lift surgery is composed of multiple procedures that deal with the different areas of the body that have lost weight and have excess skin and some remaining fat. For loose abdominal skin, which is caused by pregnancy, childbirth, gastric bypass surgery, or just massive weight loss, Tummy Tuck is used. Tummy tuck is one of the major elements of body lift surgery, because the abdomen is one of the areas that gather excess fat the most, and when all of this fat is lost, it then becomes the area that has the most excess skin.
Loose arm skin is treated by brachioplasty, or the arm lift. This procedure gets rid of flabby arms, whether caused by excess fat or excess skin, or both. Lower body lift employs procedures like the inner thigh lift, outer thigh lift, and buttock lift. These procedures treat these areas, which are some of the most problematic areas, especially for women, when it comes to excess fat and skin. All of these procedures comprise Houston, Texas' body lift surgery set, and in Houston, these procedures are done very well.
There are, however, some things that need to be remembered and considered when getting body lift surgery. First, because the only way to remove excess skin, and tighten the skin, is through surgery, the procedures will almost certainly leave scars for most people. A full body lift will leave scars inside the legs, under the arms, across the abdomen, and run around the hips.
This is why a full body lift should only be considered if there is significant excess skin that needs to be removed, otherwise, the scarring might not be worth removing only a small amount of skin. Second, the surgery will require a significant amount of recovery, depending on the amount of work done. Pain and swelling will most likely occur, but dissipate within two to six weeks. People will be able to return to work within a month and a half or so, but full recovery will require between six months to one year.
For people who undergo body lift surgery, however, the results will be amazing, and can have positive effects for both the body and the mind. A body lift can give people the confidence, comfort, and peace of mind they need in order to feel better about themselves and their appearance.
