I am about to get a lower body lift done and my surgeon said I will be in recovery for about an hour and then I would go home. Is this typical for getting my procedure done in a surgeons office/ operating room vs getting it done in a hospital? I have only had surgeries at a hospital and have stayed for a day or two so to be told I will go home after an hour worries me. Is this normal? Thank you

Answer: Lower body lift I do keep my lower body lifts overnight for safety concerns and it is part of our overall fee. Different surgeons have different approaches and you should discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Most Of My Tummy Tucks Are Done Outpatient You of course have options. For more than 15 years, most of my lower body lift patients are done on an outpatient basis as you describe. Exceptions are sometimes those that are from out of town and wish to stay overnight. The newer anesthetic agents with very short recovery time, use of electric cautery scalpels so minimal blood loss, and the fact that ambulating frequently on the day of surgery decreases complications like deep venous clots.#bodylift#weightlosssurgery#lowerbodylift
