Lower body lift and weight shifting. Will you gain weight quicker after the procedure?

After almost 20 years of performing body lifts, I have found that each person's skin and soft tissue differ after losing significant amounts of weight.  In general, more skin and less fat gives much better results with a body lift than an area that still has significant amounts of fat.  To answer your question about the affect of holiday food binging...I have found that an occasional indulgence does not significantly affect weight so long as it's only occasionally and does not become a habit.  It's important to understand long term results rather than a weekend result, or the immediate post operative results of a body lift vs. the long term results.A body lift is an amazing procedure for the right person and performed by someone with experience.Hope that helps

Hello 3abas, thank you for your question and for providing yourhistory. After your body lift, you will still need to eat
correctly andexercise routinely. It is not easier to gain weight after a body
lift. Thereare no medical studies which show “chemical imbalances” that
causesignificant increased weight gain after a lower body lift. If
you are agood surgical candidate, I would suggest you get the 360 body
lift.After the body lift, you will have to continue your exercise
routine andconsuming nutritious foods. You are still allowed to “celebrate”
duringthe festive seasons, but as with everything else, it should be
done inmoderation.If you have any questions feel free to contact my office. Good
luck.Sincerely,J. Timothy Katzen, M.D

Thank
you very much for your question; however, a body lift does not affect your
ability to gain or lose weight. A body
lift is simply a surgical procedure in which skin and fat are removed from
specific areas. Removing the excess skin
and fat from your body will in no way alter your metabolic processes, which are
inherent to your unique DNA and body type.
The fat cells that are removed from your body lift will not return. Once the fat cells are removed, unless you
become morbidly obese, will not return at any point in your lifetime. Fat cells are only replaced as they die away,
but the actual number of fat cells in your body will remain constant during
your life.
