Answer: Preparation Advice
There are many different steps in preparing for a body lift procedure. First is consult a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in body contouring procedures. Second is to make sure you understand your surgeon’s procedural plan. Third would be to understand all the risks and complications of your procedure. Fourth would be to have a history and physical and labs drawn by your primary care physician in order to ensure your body can endure your planned procedure(s). Next is to get on a nutritional supplement plan provided by your surgeon. Last but not least would be to make sure you have proper caretaking prepared for when you get out of surgery. There are so many other suggestions I could make for you, but it all depends on what procedures will be a part of your body lift.

Answer: The best outcomes with Body Lift Surgery
Hi there-
I love doing body lift surgery because the transformations can be so spectacular and my patients' lives are so positively affected... I'm sure that you will be just as happy when you are ready.
There is no question in my mind that the very best outcomes and experiences result from proceeding in a very deliberate fashion- stability is critical.
What I mean by this is that it is very important that you have reached your weight loss plateau and been stable there for a minimum of 3-6 months, your diet and exercise regimen are also comfortable and stable, any medications and supplements necessary have also been stabilized with regard to dosing, and your emotional and personal life are as stress-free and stable as possible.
When the time is right, you'll be ready for your Chrysalis change!
