TRUNKPLASTY (BODY LIFT)
WHAT IS IT?
A trunkplasty, also known as corset surgery, is a plastic surgery that removes excess fat and loose skin around a person's midsection.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE?
In general, good candidates for a liposuction include: Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone. Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing. Nonsmokers.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Any surgical drains or non-dissolvable sutures will be removed in seven to 10 days. Results will be instantly visible, and patients can immediately begin enjoying a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Final results will take several months to develop as residual swelling is slowly eliminated by the body.
HOW LONG IS RECOVERY?
Patients will need to spend about two weeks recuperating and should plan on taking one full week off from work. Exercise and more strenuous activities can be gradually resumed about three to four weeks following surgery.
