Dr. Willis did a wonderful job with my surgery. He explained everything very well beforehand so I knew what to expect throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Willis for any plastic surgery procedures. His patient care coordinator Leah is excellent and always available to assist with any questions and concerns.

Dr. Willis and his team are phenomenal! From their patient-centered care to their willingness to collaborate with other physicians my experience was a resounding success. I highly recommend having a conversation with them.

Who is a Candidate?

Healthy adults who have lost a significant amount of weight are now left with lax skin and excess tissue on their face, arms, breasts, torso, or lower body can often benefit from this procedure. It is important to note that body lifts are not intended for the removal of excess fat alone. If you have fatty deposits in certain areas of your body but have good skin elasticity, liposuction may be a better treatment option. For more information about candidacy, contact us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Willis.

Recovery

After your body contouring procedure, you will have gauze dressings placed on your incisions and surgical drains placed to collect excess fluid. You may also be asked to wear a special compression garment on the treated area to minimize swelling during recovery. Dr. Willis will provide you with specific instructions regarding how to care for your surgical sites, specific concerns to look for, and when to follow up at our office.

We recommend that patients avoid strenuous activity and avoid lifting anything over 10 lbs. for at least six weeks. Swelling may persist for a few weeks, after which results will be more noticeable.
