Frequently asked Questions
Here are a few points that may answer your questions about Rhinoplasty, to help you make an informed decision before opting for it.
The right candidates for lower body lift are:

- Nonsmokers
- Those committed to leading a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and fitness.
The procedure may be done under general anesthesia or IV sedation as advised by your surgeon. The surgery involves extensive incisions, varying in pattern and length depending on the location and skin removal.
These deep incisions are put together with deep sutures, skin adhesives, tapes or clips to close the skin incisions.
Your doctor will explain the possible risks or potential complications that may arise from body lift surgery. Possible risks may include:
- Anesthesia risks
- Bleeding (Hematoma)
- Infection
- Poor wound healing
- Fluid accumulation
- Numbness or other changes in skin sensation
- Death of fatty tissue under the skin
- Persistent pain
- Persistent swelling in the legs
- Altered abdominal sensation
- Asymmetry
- Deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications
- Possible need for revisionary surgery
- Skin loss
- Scarring
Sutures may spontaneously surface through the skin, become visible or produce irritation and require removal.
.
During recovery it is normal to experience swelling and bruising and to feel numbness or pain around the incision site. It is important to carefully follow the post-op instructions of your doctor to help faster healing and recovery such as:
- Caring for your surgical site(s) after the surgery
- Oral or topical medications to be taken
- Caring for your drains
- Reporting to the doctor immediately if shortness of breath, chest pains or unusual heartbeats, are observed
- Follow up care without missing appointments
The results are observed almost immediately. It may take one to two years to experience the final results. The benefits of your body lift will be long-term if you maintain a stable weight and have a good level of fitness. However, the body’s normal aging process can reduce firmness of skin, over time.
It depends on the type of Facelift surgery, the person’s general condition, and other factors that include:
- Implants, if required
- Hospital / surgical facility cost
- Prescription medication cost
- Anesthetist and Surgeon’s fee
- Nursing and Support Staff fee
