After a massive weight reduction the soft tissue of the skin can sag considerably, especially on the lower half of the body. Sagging buttocks, a sagging abdominal wall, a slack mons pubis and slack thighs are then a source of discomfort. Using a circumferential lifting method according to Lockwood, these areas can be tightened in one session or divided into two operations. Where the findings are pronounced we recommend two procedures at our practice clinic in Oldenburg in order to ensure the greatest possible safety and quality of result.
A body lift can considerably improve the way you feel about your body if you are affected by the problems described above. The incision runs like a belt through the area normally covered by underwear. So that the buttocks look fuller again after the procedure, we carry out a so-called autoaugmentation: we use tissue that would otherwise be removed and thereby restore the buttocks to their natural volume.
After the procedure the buttocks look noticeably fuller and firmer, the abdomen is flatter, the mons pubis is smoothed and the legs look firmer as well. In this respect the body lift is unrivalled.
After the preliminary consultation with advice, detailed information about risks and an examination, we plan the operation together. Our aim is to respond to your wishes as well as possible before the procedure and to mark and document the course of the incision. As a rule we recommend two sessions, front and back separately.
On the day of the operation, which we carry out in our own rooms, you are scheduled in such a way that long waiting times are avoided. I will then go through what we discussed with you once more and repeat the markings. Our nursing and anaesthesia team will look after you. After the procedure we accommodate you for one night in one of our patient beds; a nurse looks after you throughout the night and I myself am close by. After the final ward round the following day you can usually leave the clinic.
In a maximum of two operations, the body lift reduces troublesome, sagging soft tissue to an extent that no other method achieves. Disadvantages and calculated risks are haematomas and, rarely, secondary bleeding. That is why we like to plan the procedure with monitoring in order to achieve the highest possible degree of safety for you. There are no relevant alternatives for reducing the soft tissue. If the findings can be limited to one region, an abdominoplasty or a thigh lift are the smaller solutions.
You have lost a lot of weight and the skin has stayed? At the first consultation we look together at which areas bother you most, whether one or two sessions make sense and how liposuction and a lift can sensibly be combined. Arrange a consultation appointment.
A circumferential lift of the lower half of the body according to Lockwood: the incision runs like a belt through the area normally covered by underwear. This raises the buttocks, the abdominal wall, the mons pubis and the thighs in one go.
Above all for people after massive weight reduction whose skin on the lower half of the body is sagging considerably: sagging buttocks, a sagging abdominal wall, a slack mons pubis and slack thighs.
Where the findings are pronounced we recommend two operations – front and back separately. That gives the greatest possible safety and quality of result. In a single session the procedure takes about 4.5 hours.
No, quite the opposite. We carry out an autoaugmentation: tissue that would otherwise be removed is used to restore the buttocks to their natural volume. They look fuller and firmer afterwards.
Haematomas are typical, and secondary bleeding can occur rarely. That is why we like to plan the procedure with overnight monitoring. There are no relevant alternatives for reducing the soft tissue.
As a rule yes. A nurse looks after you throughout the night and I am close by. After the final ward round the following day you can usually leave the clinic.
Compression garments are worn for 6 weeks, showering is possible from the 2nd day, and no stitches need to be removed when dissolvable suture material is used. Check-ups take place after 2 and 6 weeks.
The price depends on whether the operation is carried out in one or two sessions, on the extent of the excess skin and on the overnight stay. After the first consultation you receive a fixed cost estimate; financing and payment by instalments are possible.
