Body Lift in Tunisia

Before undergoing a body lift, it is essential to follow certain preparation steps:

• Medical tests: Undergo the necessary tests to confirm you are a suitable candidate for the surgery.
• Stop smoking and certain medications: Avoid smoking and using medications that may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Understand the procedure: Familiarize yourself with all stages of the process and prepare accordingly.

The best candidates for a body lift are:

• Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess loose skin.
• Those in overall good health, without serious medical conditions that could impact healing.
• People with realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.

• Improved silhouette: Tightens and smoothens the skin for a more toned appearance.
• Boost in self-confidence: Enhances self-esteem by providing a more attractive figure.
• Long-lasting results: The effects are generally permanent, especially when maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

There are several types of body lift procedures, each targeting different areas of the body:

• Lower body lift: Focuses on the abdomen, buttocks, hips, and thighs.
• Upper body lift: Targets the upper back, chest, and arms.
• Full body lift: Combines the lower and upper body lift for a complete body transformation.

A body lift can be performed using different techniques depending on the patient’s needs:

• Liposuction: Used to remove excess fat before tightening the skin.
• Skin resection: Surgical removal of excess skin.
• Tightening of underlying muscles: In some cases, muscles are tightened to enhance body contours.

1. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
2. Incisions: Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
3. Liposuction: Removal of excess fat.
4. Skin resection: Removal of excess skin and tightening of tissues.
5. Sutures: Closure of incisions with fine sutures.

After the surgery:

• Hospitalization: A few days of hospitalization at Myron Clinic may be required.
• Swelling and bruising: These common side effects usually subside within a few weeks.

The results of a body lift are generally long-lasting, provided the patient maintains a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. The improvements in body contours can last for many years.

The final results of a body lift usually appear after several months, once the swelling and bruising have completely subsided.

• Maintain a stable weight: Avoid significant weight fluctuations.
• Hydrate and protect your skin: Use moisturizers and sunscreen.
• Follow post-operative recommendations: Adhere to your surgeon’s advice to ensure proper healing.

A body lift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• Arm lift
• Thigh lift
• Breast augmentation or reduction
