| The typical Body Lift patient should be in good health overall and over the age of eighteen. As with all plastic surgery procedures, realistic expectations and goals should be maintained. Very often Body Lift patients in SHREWSBURY have lost significant amounts of weight or have undergone gastric bypass or Lap-Band surgery resulting in dramatic weight loss. These patients should wait at least one year after those procedures and should have maintained their weight for the past six months. Women who plan to have children may be advised to postpone treatment until after childbearing. Patients using Nicotine products are not recommended for this procedure because of the risk for serious complications. |

| It is important to remember that a complete Body Lift is cosmetic surgery is not a short cut or alternative to losing weight, nor is it a motivational tool. The weight loss must come first. Cosmetic surgery procedures are better used as a refinement tool. Further, major weight loss after a Body Lift can result in more skin sagging – negating the positive effects of the prior surgery. |

| A total Body Lift is often performed by HAMID ABDOLLAHI, M.D. during two separate surgeries. The first is a lower body lift which combines elements of a tummy tuck, thigh lift and a butt lift in one procedure. The operation is designed to encircle the entire body and remove the extra skin in a belt-like way while lifting the outer thighs and buttocks. This uses a single incision which is conveniently hidden by underwear. |

| The Upper Body lift is the second part of the total body lift procedure, but is not as commonly performed. While the lower body lift treats excess tissue in the tummy, thighs and buttocks, the upper body lift treats tissue excesses in the upper trunk, including the areas around the breasts and upper back. The upper body lift is a combination of three body contouring procedures and incorporates a breast lift or breast reduction procedure (for both women and men), an upper back lift, and an arm tuck which should result in a complete reshaping of the upper body. |

| This combined operation will leave long scars around the upper body, and while they may be visible are still considered worthwhile by patients because of the dramatic improvement in the contour and appearance of their upper body. Upper body lifts are not as common as lower body lifts because it takes a very large amount of weight loss to create enough skin to justify the operation. Usually, patients must have lost 150 to 200 lbs after their bariatric surgery. |

| It is important to remember that a total Body Lift procedure is major medical surgery. Most patients will require a hospital stay of one to three nights. While in the hospital, pain is managed through IV medication and later through oral pain medications. Drainage tubes are inserted, which will require personal home care for two to three weeks. These tubes will be removed when the drainage fluid is low. Patients will be provided with a medical compression garment to wear at all times except while bathing. This should be worn until Dr. HAMID ABDOLLAHI lets patients know it is no longer needed. Dressings are generally removed a couple of days after surgery and showering is allowed at that time. |
