Conveniently located to serve Brookline

Body-Contouring-After-Major-Weight-Loss-stock-imageIf you’re struggling with sagging skin and loose abdominal muscles due to aging, childbirth, or weight changes, Darrow Plastic Surgery offers a solution: the body lift. While diet and exercise are crucial for a healthy lifestyle, they may not be enough to achieve the desired slim and toned results in these situations. A body lift in Brookline combines the best aspects of several cosmetic procedures to reverse the effects of time, gravity, childbirth, and weight fluctuations.

Surgeons have developed a surgical technique called the body lift, which combines the best of several common cosmetic procedures to reverse the adverse effects of time, gravity, childbirth, and fluctuations in weight. In the body lift procedure, excess fatty deposits and skin are removed, and inner musculature is tightened to produce a slimmer, more contoured profile.

What is a Body Lift?

The body lift consists of several surgical procedures, including abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) and liposuction. For women who are also interested in breast augmentation, lift, or reduction, a Mommy Makeover may be more appropriate. Depending on your needs and expectations, ask Dr. Darrow what the best procedure would be for you.

The Body Lift Procedure Enhances These Areas of the Body

  • Stomach, waist, sides and lower back area
  • Buttocks
  • Inner, outer and rear thighs
  • Upper arms

What You Need to Know About Body Lift Surgery and Choosing the Right Procedure

As with any cosmetic enhancement surgery, you should first consider your motivations for surgery to be sure that you’re choosing surgery for yourself and not to fulfill someone else’s desires or expectations of you or your body. It is a personal matter, and any decision for surgery should come after careful consideration of all the facts and emotions involved.

In addition, before you consider the body lift procedure, you should reach your weight loss goals, as losing dramatic amounts of weight after the body lift procedure could have adverse effects on your results, such as additional loose, sagging skin.

The body lift may be a good option for you if you:

  • Maintain good physical health and weight
  • Don’t smoke
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Are frustrated by your attempts at weight loss and firming of your body with diet and exercise
  • Have stretch marks from lack of elasticity

What to Expect During the Body Lift Procedure

During your body lift surgery in Brookline, you will be under general anesthesia. Dr. Darrow will make incisions strategically placed to minimize visibility. Excess skin and fat will be removed, and underlying muscles will be tightened. The remaining skin will be redraped and sutured closed. The specific techniques used will depend on your individual needs and goals.

Recovery & Results of a Body Lift Surgery

You can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort following your body lift surgery. Dr. Darrow will provide detailed post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. You will need to wear a compression garment to support the healing tissues. While initial results will be visible soon after surgery, the final results will become more apparent as swelling subsides over several months.

“I feel FANTASTIC!”

5 5 Star Rating - Written onAugust 7, 2017 Lower Body Lift & Breast Lift no implants A+++ I had my surgery at the end of August, 2016. It is the beginning of December and I feel FANTASTIC ! I am the happiest I have been in years. Dr. Darrows is wonderful. He was the last consultation I had and wish he was my first. When I met him he was very open about the procedures and went from the beginning to the end. He didn’t rush, stopped when I had questions. I felt very comfortable with him. Helen his assistant is awesome. I found both Helen and Dr. Darrows really down to earth and easy †o talk to. My surgery went great, I stayed over and was up walking that night. The night nurse was dynamite answered any questions and was very tentative. This was the first time I’ve ever done anything like this so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I am so glad I had the experience I did. My follow up appointments are going great. If you have any questions or concerns you can call or email the doctor and if he doesn’t get right back to you someone from his office does. I went into this feeling good and I came out of it feeling better. No Worries!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The duration of a body lift surgery varies depending on the individual patient's needs and the extent of the areas being addressed. Generally, the procedure lasts a couple of hours.
As with any surgical procedure, a body lift will result in scars. However, Dr. Darrow is highly skilled in surgical techniques that minimize their visibility. Incisions are strategically placed in discreet locations along natural body contours to make them inconspicuous. Scars typically fade and become less noticeable over time; we also offer scar management treatments to improve their appearance further.
Preparation may include medical evaluations, lab tests, avoiding certain medications (like blood thinners), and arranging post-operative care at home.
Most patients can return to light activities within two weeks; however, full recovery may take several months before resuming strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.
Pregnancy after a body lift can stretch the skin and potentially affect the surgery results. It's best to wait until you are finished having children before undergoing a body lift.
