Lifts Tucks And Liposuction

The goal of lifts, tucks and liposuction is to look better in your clothes or to fit into a smaller clothes size. Gravity and time make it necessary for some women to consider having these procedures done. If you have had a multiple pregnancy or nursed twins you may also feel the need to tighten up your body because these situations will leave you a little flabby after you lose the pregnancy weight. Having a breast lift or reduction can reshape your breasts that may have started to sag as a result of gravity or breastfeeding twins. Excess skin is removed and the areola is reshaped and moved up during a breast lift. Typically the more breast fat and other tissue that is removed the better shape the breasts will be in after the procedure. Liposuction is an option if you have big or plump breasts and is used to reduce the size of the breasts. Breast lift is done when a perkier breast is desired. An implant can be combined with a lift in order to add volume. Recovery for these procedures is generally between 10 and 14 days.

Liposuction is done to eliminate fat cells, unsightly bulges from chins and ankles and also the stomach area, inner thighs, hips and knees. Males use liposuction to improve the chest wall, stomach area especially the love handles. Power liposuction is one of the latest advances in cosmetic surgery, which removes fat easier and faster than traditional liposuction. Liposuction is better done if your skin is elastic because if you have flabby skin and you have liposuction done it can leave your skin looking ripply.

Your typical liposuction takes anywhere from 3 to 8 days to heal depending on how extensive the procedure was.

Tummy tucks or otherwise called an “abdominoplasty”, can tighten the muscles and remove excess skin and fat. These muscles often become stretched out from childbirth. You will usually have a bikini incision from pelvic bone to pelvic bone. If you have a lot of skin to be taken in, a new tummy button may be fashioned. Healing takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks.

A body lift does for the body what a facelift does for your jaw line and neck. A body lift can improve your hips, thighs, and stomach area. The recovery is generally longer than other cosmetic surgery and the scarring is located like a belt around your torso. General anesthesia is necessary for a body lift because it is considered to be major surgery. Recovery takes from 2 to 3 weeks.
