What are the Different Types of Body Lifts in Austin, TX, and What Do They Entail?
The 360 Body Lift
Also known as a circumferential tummy tuck or lower body lift, the 360 body lift is an operation that can provide you with a significantly improved and renewed appearance, along with a boost of self-confidence.
During a lower body lift, Dr. Erella removes and tightens excess skin across several regions of the lower body, which include the abdomen, outer thighs, hips and buttocks. This surgery can also tighten abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter, more fit-looking abdomen. The procedure can be performed all at once or in stages, depending on the specific plan that you and Dr. Erella agree upon during your consultation in Austin, TX.
Upper Body Lift
This lift is designed to contour the skin in the upper regions of the body, including the upper back, arms, and breasts. Dr. Erella will drape the rest of the skin and pull it taut to provide an overall sculpted, recontoured appearance. Upper body lifts are most commonly performed on the breast, bra line, and upper arms. As with the lower body, this procedure can be carried out all at one time or in stages.

360 Body Lift Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will My Recovery Take?
The time for recovery is usually 2-3 weeks. During this period, we recommend that you avoid all exercise and strenuous activities.
The specific details of your recovery process will depend on the specifics of your surgery. Dr. Erella will provide detailed instructions and advice during the day of your procedure and at any following appointments.
Will the Recovery Be Painful?
After 360 body lift surgery, you can expect some discomfort and swelling. Surgical drains (small plastic tubes) will likely be inserted to collect any fluid that drains away from the incisions. You will need to wear a compression garment for a few weeks after the surgery, and Dr. Erella will prescribe you pain medication during this initial healing period. Wearing these garments and taking the medications can significantly ease your recovery. Dr. Erella will provide you with a comprehensive post-operative list of ways to have the best recovery.
How Prominent Will My 360 Body Lift Scars Be?
While 360 body lift surgery produces excellent results, some degree of scarring is inevitable. However, Dr. Erella will make every effort to make clean incisions that leave thin scar lines. Because Dr. Erella is highly skilled and experienced, he will keep any scarring as light and easily hidden as possible. He will also strategically place the incisions to keep them hidden, even when you wear a bathing suit. Over time, the scars will continue to heal and fade with most patients feeling that their sleeker, tighter body outweighs the inconvenience of minor scarring.
