Lower Body Lift in The Villages, FL

This procedure is performed at our onsite state-licensed ambulatory surgical center in The Villages. At VIP in The Villages Lower Body Lift patients are fully sedated with general anesthesia during the procedure.

After surgery, the patient is moved to a recovery room, where they will be closely monitored before being released. After Lower Body Lift surgery, patients should focus on relaxing and recovering as much as possible. Patients should expect bruising and swelling and some discomfort which can be managed with pain medication. Sutures will be removed in usually about a week to 10 days. Drains will be used initially to drain fluids, and pressure garments will be used to support the patient’s new appearance.

During your recovery, the patient is monitored closely and provided with direction on activities as they progress towards full recovery. It is important to follow these instructions closely for the best results. You will be cleared to go back to work based on the type of work you do. Office-type work can be resumed usually in a week or two. Strenuous work, such as construction, should not be resumed for 60 to 90 days, depending on your recovery. Again your recovery will be closely monitored by Dr. Yi with the goal of helping you recover safely and as quickly as possible. Patients are usually able to return to limited activities within three to four weeks, and it may take six months to a year for all swelling to be completely gone, and the true final results of the procedure can be realized.

Congratulations on making the decision to lead a healthy lifestyle! You may finish your transformation into a better version of yourself with the assistance of Dr. Yi by having a lower body lift, which targets the contour of the entire middle portion of your body.
