Treatments that Can be Combined with a Body Lift

A body lift procedure can be in the form of a complete, full or total surgery, or it can be applied to localized or specific sections of the body. Obviously a localized body lift is the more favorable option as it is less intrusive. Certain treatments can be combined with a body lift to increase the procedure's overall effect, such as:

LipoDissolve Ultra

This is a form of lipolysis where a certain compound is injected into fat stores within the body with the design of dissolving the cells. Afterward the body naturally disposes of what is left over. Ultrasound technology is then used to help with the recovery. The remaining build up of excess skin should be much less than what it would have been without the ultrasound application, and at that point a localized body lift procedure can be implemented to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Radiofrequency and Infrared Technology

Radiofrequency and Infrared technology can be used in conjunction with body lift surgery by heating the skin in order to increase collagen production, resulting in a tightening of the skin and reducing the amount of tissue needed to be disposed of via cosmetic surgery.

Laser Liposuction

Laser assisted liposuction has been implemented to decrease the intrinsic intrusive nature of the liposuction procedure. When used with a body lift treatment process, the result is a more desired effect upon the area. Laser essentially in used in the same way as radiofrequency and infrared technology, as it heats up the skin in an effort to increase collagen production. This makes the skin more flexible and results in less of a need for total body lift surgery.

Natural Treatments

The goal of a body lift is to dispose of skin that has lost its ability to rebound back after rapid weight loss. Obviously, it is more desirable to reduce the need of a body lift or to at least decrease the over all application of the procedure. Daily exfoliation or bathing in salt water has the effect of removing old damaged skin cells and allowing new tissue to grow in its place. On its own, the application of natural therapy does have limited success, but when employed along with a body lift procedure, the results are more successful.

Massage

Massage has been used for many aspects of fitness from physical therapy to the redistribution of fat cells within the body. Endermologie is the implementation of hand held devices within the massage procedure to provide a more intense application in an attempt to decrease the need for cosmetic surgery. The theory is that if the fat cells can be redistributed, then the affect of fat distribution on the skin is lessened, resulting in a decreased dependency on body lift surgery.
