Body Lift means cosmetic plastic surgery for more than one areas
of the body. Those areas may include the stomach, breast, arms,
back and thighs. It is used frequently after a massive loss of
body weight either from diet or as a result from beriatric
surgery. The body lift can be performed where each procedure is
done separately or several procedures can be performed together
(depends on the patient's health, tolerance of discomfort, etc).
Recently body lift procedures have become extremely popular due
to the fact that we have acquired significant knowledge and
experience and the fact that people are more aware of this kind
of "extreme body makeover" surgery. There are now investigations
to determine if such removal of large amounts of fat may improve
diabetes and high blood pressure. So far the results are
encouraging (but there is no doubt that more research needs to
determine if this is so). |
