Appearance Improvement: With the upper-body lift, you can enjoy wearing fitted clothes as your slimmer appearance will be enhanced.
Removal of Loose and Wrinkled Skin: The surgery effectively eliminates loose and wrinkled skin, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Smooth and Even Contours: The procedure addresses uneven fat rolls and bulges that may cause self-consciousness, resulting in smoother and more sculpted body contours.
Scar Healing: While a scar may be present at the site of the incision, it will gradually subside and fade away over the course of several months.
Recovery and Rest: Complete rest is essential during the first week after the surgery, and the complete recovery process may take some time.
Hospitalization or Skilled Nursing Care: Depending on individual needs, you may require one to three days of hospitalization or skilled nursing care at home.
Preparation: Plan your household or work-related duties before the surgery to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Patients can expect the following during the recovery period:
Incision Site Changes: Slight bruising, bumps, and redness may be observed at the incision site.
Pain Management: Pain in the initial days after surgery can be managed with prescribed analgesic medications.
Scar Recovery: The scar healing process will take time and require proper care.
Realistic Expectations: It is essential to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
Visible Contours: The improved body contours will become visible in a few days.
Possible Complications: While rare, there is a slight risk of infection and sores at the incision site. In such cases, contacting the surgeon immediately is crucial.
As your dedicated surgeon, I prioritize your well-being and satisfaction throughout the upper-body lift journey, ensuring you achieve the desired results and renewed self-confidence.
The cost of Upper Body Lift in Dubai varies in each individual. The final cost is decided at the time of consultation.
An upper body lift, also known as an upper body contouring procedure, is a cosmetic surgery that aims to improve the appearance of the upper body by addressing excess skin, fat, and sagging tissues. It typically includes procedures such as an upper arm lift, breast lift (or gynecomastia treatment for men), and back fat removal. The surgery involves removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a more toned and sculpted upper body.
Ideal candidates for an upper body lift are individuals who have undergone significant weight loss through natural means or bariatric surgery, experienced sagging skin after pregnancy, or have excess skin around the arms, chest, or waist. Candidates should be in good health, with stable weight for at least six months, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
The recovery period after an upper body lift can vary based on individual healing capabilities and the extent of the procedure. You may experience slight bruising, swelling, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. It is essential to follow post-operative instructions carefully, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities for a specified period. Full recovery may take several weeks, and the scars will gradually fade over time.
Yes, there will be some visible scars after an upper body lift, as incisions are made to remove excess skin and fat. However, a skilled surgeon like Dr. Yasser Khattab can strategically place the incisions in inconspicuous locations to minimize the visibility of scars. With proper scar care and healing, the scars will gradually fade and become less noticeable over time.
Like any surgical procedure, an upper body lift carries inherent risks, though they are generally low when performed by an experienced surgeon. Potential risks may include infection, bleeding, scarring, changes in sensation, and asymmetry. Choosing a qualified and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Yasser Khattab can help minimize these risks and ensure a safe and successful upper body lift experience.
