What is the Body Lift?

It can also be called 360 degree body lift, also known as belt lipectomy. 360 degree body lift surgery is recommended for people who want a lifting effect, youth and recovery in the middle of their body. This surgery is usually performed for people who have lost excess weight to remove the sagging of the body. At the same time, body lift surgery can be recommended for people who want a postpartum tummy tuck, and for women with sagging in the back and buttocks.

In body lift surgery, fat is extracted from the middle and lower abdomen, the outer part of the thighs, the hip region, the coccyx, and after the fat is removed, the sagging skin is made more taut and the excess skin is cut and removed. Body lift surgery is not a slimming method, on the contrary, it is a surgery that is recommended to be performed after weakening.

Who is suitable for 360 degree body lift?

Body lift surgery is suitable for anyone with a body mass index of 30 and below. To find your body mass index, you can divide your weight by the square of your height. If the result is 30 or less, you can have a body lift. After losing excessive weight after intense diet and sports programs, it is very normal to have sagging in your body, especially as you get older. You may also experience sagging in your abdomen after giving birth. You can evaluate body stretching aesthetics because it will take a long time to remove these sagging with sports and exercise programs or because it is too much to achieve a taut look no matter how much exercise is done.

In order to create a lifting effect on your body and have a more tense body in one session, 360 degree body stretching aesthetics will suit you.

How is body lift aesthetic done?

Body lift aesthetics is performed under general anesthesia. Usually, the surgery takes between 5 and 7 hours. In body lift surgery, a long incision is made 8-10 cm below the belly button, that is, under the underwear. This incision is extended backwards according to the width of the area to be stretched. Sometimes 270 degrees, sometimes 360 degrees can be done as body stretching.

In 360-degree body stretching, the stretching area aims to remove the entire back and anterior abdominal region and the sagging skin on the sides. After the skin is stretched to the desired tension, the excess skin is cut and removed. The remaining two surfaces are stitched together with aesthetic stitches. Excess fat is removed from the abdomen and back, as well as the outer areas of the thighs. The remaining skin is stretched and the surgery is completed with aesthetic sutures.

Two drains are placed in this area for the fluids to be collected during the surgery. After the operation, a corset is worn to cover the whole body. The purpose of this corset is to keep your stitches tight and allow the body to heal faster. You will need to stay in the hospital for the first day after the surgery. By attaching a urinary catheter, you will be more comfortable. If you feel better the next day, you can be discharged or stay in the hospital for 1 more night.

The three most important factors affecting the postoperative appearance in 360 degree body aesthetics are suture marks, the location of the suture marks and the position of the navel. For this reason, it is important that the preoperative planning is done correctly, the incision area and how the incision is sutured. If the planning is not done properly, the seam marks will be indented and then it will spoil the appearance.

The expected stitch marks are not visible by staying in the underwear. In 360-degree body lifts, it may be necessary to reposition the belly button while the abdominal skin is stretched. For this reason, determining the location of the belly button and removing the stitches in the belly button in a way that is not obvious requires a surgical skill.

What is the recovery process like after 360 degree body lift aesthetics?

You may have pain on the first day after body lift surgery. You can spend a more comfortable day with painkillers. We recommend that you consume liquid foods in the first days. Drains are removed on the 2nd day after surgery. Since the sutures used during the surgery are aesthetic sutures, they do not need to be removed.

It is recommended to use your corset between 4-6 weeks. After 6 weeks, you will notice that your body looks tighter and slimmer. The seam marks will appear red at first, but will not be visible as they remain in the underwear. Within 1 year, the scars become whitened and erased. If the appearance of the scars is disturbing, its appearance can be removed with laser treatments.
