Obesity and excessive weight increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other conditions. Having taken this into consideration, you decided to lose the excess pounds, but you may not have expected the results you got.

Your skin stretches when you have extra weight on your body, and your fat cells are more likely to multiply. As a result of long-term stretching, the skin loses its elasticity, a property that helps it adapt to the contours of your body. Without enough elasticity, the skin hangs in layers, creating aesthetic concerns and increasing the risk of chafing and skin infections.

Diet and exercise do not eradicate fat cells, but rather shrink them; this is a challenge for people who have extra fat cells. A person’s body has fat cells to help it produce energy, but once they gain weight, new fat cells are created. No matter how much fat cells you shrink, you still have more than you had before you gained weight. Bulges and bumps develop as a result, which are resistant to diet and exercise.

Body lifts remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and upper arms to improve the appearance of the body. This procedure is typically performed on individuals with excess skin due to significant weight loss. Also, aging people with loss of skin elasticity can benefit from this procedure.

Typically, general anesthesia is used for the procedure, which can take several hours, depending on the extent of the surgery. Different areas of the body may be treated at different times, with the procedure performed in stages. Compression garments are worn after surgery to support the treated areas and assist in the healing process. To ensure proper healing and optimal results, it is critical to follow the post-surgery instructions provided by the surgeon.
