General
A body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a procedure to raise and reshape unsightly, sagging body contours. During the aging process or through massive weight loss (www.obesityhelp.com), the skin loses some elasticity, causing the mid-section to lose its natural shape and firmness. This procedure is designed to remove loose skin and related fat deposits, thus, providing a more youthful appearance. A body lift can be applied to the lower torso and upper legs including the abdomen, waist, inner/outer thighs, buttocks, and/or hips. Liposuction may also be completed in conjunction with a body lift. Dr. Dixon will help you decide which areas need improvement.
For pain management, Dr. Dixon utilized the ON-Q PainBuster (www.AskYourSurgeon.com) which administers a local numbing medicine for up to 72 hours post operatively. This reduces the level of acute pain and makes our patients more comfortable. The pain pump is removed at your first follow up appointment.
