Post-Bariatric Surgery Procedure
We place a pain-pump into the wounds to
continually deliver numbing medicine such
as lidocaine for the first 3-4 days. This
will result in relatively pain-free postoperative
period. Patient continue to supplement this
with oral pain medicine.
There are often two to three drains which
are usually removed after the total drainage
has reached 25 cc in 24 hours. In a majority
of centers throughout the U.S.A., these
procedures are done in a hospital with several
days of inpatient stay. We have performed
these procedures, whether they are single
or combined, as an outpatient procedure
with excellent results.
Lower Body Lift Standard Procedure Techniques
Lower Body Lift surgery involves removing
a circumferential wedge of tissue. In the
front the procedure involves removing the
hanging apron of skin and fat and tightening
up the underlying muscle wall, which is
very similar to what is accomplished in
a tummy tuck. To remove the excess tissues
located in the back and sides the patient
has to be turned in the operating room to
allow for exposure of these areas. Liposuction
of the thighs is often performed at the
same time. The final scar has a similar
shape to a “thong bikini” for
most surgeons.
* Elimination of the hanging apron
* Flattening of the belly
* Pulling up the droopy pubic region
* Creation of a waist
* Lifting the thighs
* Lifting and defining the buttocks
We believe, in the out patient setting,
the patient is NOT in contact with hospital-born
infection, they are walking on the night
of surgery and being with family and friends,
faster and less complicated recovery is
achieved.
Because any surgical procedure carries certain
risks and possible complications, you should
discuss the procedure in detail with Dr.Tavoussi.After
surgery, most people return to their jobs
in three weeks.
The results of body lift are usually long
lasting if you keep your weight under control
and exercise.
