Losing a massive amount of weight is reason to celebrate. Unfortunately, the celebration is lackluster because now, instead of fat, you have sagging skin and small bulges of fat. Diet and exercise cannot resolve these problems, but now you can be proud of your hard work to lose weight with a body lift. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Mauricio J. Castellon, MD, offers body lifts and other types of body contouring for men and women who live in Melbourne, Brevard County and the surrounding communities of Central Florida.
We understand how difficult it is to live with sagging skin and small areas of fat after losing a large amount of weight. The good news is that we can help and provide the compassion and encouragement you need in this last phase of improving your health and appearance. A body lift is an extensive plastic surgery procedure that can tone your arms, abdomen, back, thighs, hips, breasts and any other area where you have cosmetic concerns.
Having loose skin draped on your body is not only a cosmetic problem but can also lead to chafing and infections if the folds of skin trap moisture and bacteria. After your body lift, your skin will contour to your body, and you will feel more confident and, best of all, proud of how your body looks.
The ideal candidate for a body lift:
Women who are considering a body lift should be done having children because pregnancy can affect the results of your body lift.
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the first step in having a more toned body. We will advise you about your body lift options, which may involve:
Our body procedures are performed at a surgery center to ensure that our Melbourne body lift patients receive the highest quality medical care before, during and after the surgery. You will likely need to stay one or two days in the hospital after the procedure. Someone will need to drive you home once you are released.
In some cases of body lift Melbourne plastic surgeon Dr. Castellon recommends that it be performed in phases over the course of several surgical appointments. This shortens the overall recovery time and allows your body to heal properly. Full results can take several months to two years depending on the areas that are treated during the surgery.
Body Lift Consultation
Body lift surgery can eliminate the skin folds, sagging skin and deposits of fat that are left after losing a massive amount of weight. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center strives to deliver the best body lift Melbourne and Brevard County have to offer. Contact us today to schedule your personal consultation.
Body lift procedures are tailored to the unique needs of the patient, so the length of the surgery varies greatly. You should expect the surgery to take several hours.
After your body lift, you are moved to a recovery area so that our medical staff can monitor your progress. You will then be moved to a hospital room until you are released.
You are already accustomed to a healthier lifestyle, and when you continue to eat right and exercise, the results of your body lift can last a lifetime.
In most cases, body lift surgery is not covered by medical insurance. The procedure may be covered if Dr. Castellon determines that surgery is medically necessary, such as when the skin folds cause infections. After your consultation, we are better able to provide a cost for the surgery. Castellon Plastic Surgery Center accepts payment by cash and check as well as credit card, including MasterCard® and Visa®. If you are interested in financing the cost of your body lift, we encourage you to apply with CareCredit® and LendingUSA.com.
