When can I expect to see results from a 360 totallybody lift. 2 months post (photo)

When you see the results of a procedure depends on the preoperative deformity and what exactly the procedures are that were performed.  As an example - Liposuction creates swelling that takes months to resolve.  Excision of skin and muscle tightening results are generally much quicker changes.  Your preoperative photos demonstrate that you did not have layers of extra skin - more of a finesse operation.Continue to be patient and follow your surgeon's advice - and ask him/her for thoughts.

Hi SD1984 in Lubbock, Thank you for your question regarding when you can expect to see results from a 360-degree body lift. Every patient is different, and everyone heals at a different rate after any surgery. "Larger" lower body results are immediate and evident on the operating room table.
Sometimes the "smaller" lower body lifts take longer to show results. (You would be classified as a "smaller" lower body lift.) In general, most of the lower body swelling is gone after about six to eight weeks. Some patients take longer. Some patients may take up to two years for the swelling to settle. I would suggest you follow up with your plastic surgeon, continue your medical-grade compression garment, and have lymphatic massage twice a week until all your swelling is gone. Good luck. I hope that I have answered your questions regarding when you can expect to see results from a 360-degree body lift. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, MD Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for  your question;  At two months you can see results although you are still swollen.  I will go with your physician and talk to him about your expectation so  you can plan a revision if you consider an alternative
