FAQS About Full Body Lifts
What Will the Scars Look Like?
Scarring varies based on the procedure. Abdominoplasty incisions are placed from hip to hip, and breast lift incisions typically circle the areola and extend down to the breast crease. Scarring is an unavoidable part of post weight loss surgery, but these marks heal well and do not deter patients from feeling good about their results. Procedures like arm and thigh lifts will create scarring in these areas. If you have questions or concerns about recovery and scar care following post weight loss surgery, please be sure to speak to Dr. Parkins during your initial visit.
How Much Time Do I Need to Take Away from Work?
Time off after post weight loss surgery can range from one to two weeks—or possibly longer if your job includes heavy lifting. Patients who have desk jobs or who can arrange to work from home may have to take less time away from their jobs.
