What Occurs During the Body Contouring Procedure?
Body contouring in Boca Raton & West Palm Beach is performed under general anesthesia in our in-office surgery suite on an outpatient basis. A body lift can be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as an arm lift or thigh lift.
In this procedure, an incision is made from hip bone to hip bone around the entire body, including the front, sides, and back, to allow access for the maximum removal of excess skin. The skin will be removed, along with a superficial layer of fat, and the incision will be meticulously closed to leave a taut, smooth skin surface. This surgery generally requires about five to six hours to complete, as it involves tightening the abdominal muscles and repositioning the buttocks.

Are there Any Risks?
A body lift carries the risks associated with any significant cosmetic surgery, including bleeding, infection, blood clots, swelling, pain, anesthesia risks, unfavorable results, and others, such as a loss of tissue, numbness, or other changes in skin sensation in the treated area or areas, the possibility of revisionary surgery, and unfavorable scarring.

In the hands of an experienced, highly trained plastic surgeon such as Dr. Pozner, the chance of these types of risks or side effects greatly decreases.
