Body Lift in Indianapolis

Smoking before or after surgery increases the visibility of scarring and causes problems with healing. Therefore, we require that all patients cease the use of nicotine products (including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and all other products containing nicotine). This should last at least four weeks before and four weeks after a body lift.

In general, you can expect to be able to swim within three weeks after your surgery, or after your wounds are totally healed. Regarding exercise, you will be able to walk immediately after your release, but you should wait about two weeks before restarting any cardio. Other specific restrictions will be discussed at the time of your consultation and again at post-op appointments.

You should expect to take off work for 7 to 14 days after a skin removal procedure using a body lift.

Yes. We often combine procedures like a tummy tuck, thigh lift, or breast lift (male or female) with skin removal in Indianapolis. We are happy to discuss your goals and assist in creating a plan for you..

Depending on the areas of the body you want to address, we can totally customize your skin removal in Indianapolis.

For example, we can perform a lower body lift to treat sagging buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips, and outer thighs. Because it removes excess skin and fat from the entire torso, it provides a smoother contour from just beneath the breasts to the groin, hips, and back.

An upper body lift may  include a brachioplasty (arm lift), breast reconstruction, and other procedures to lift and contour skin in these specific areas.

During your initial consultation with Turkle & Associates for skin removal, we will provide you with expert recommendations for how to proceed. We will examine your areas of concern, and walk you through all of your options.

In general, it’s best to wait to have skin removal in Indianapolis until you are at or near your ideal weight. This will ensure your results are long-lasting. Furthermore, if you lose significantly more weight, you may need to have surgery again later to continue to remove additional areas of skin or fat.

A body lift is considered cosmetic and is therefore not covered by insurance companies.
