What kind of follow up is needed after a body lift? how many follow up appointments will i need with my doctor after my body lift, and when?

A : A body lift is quite an extensive surgery and follow-ups will be critical to see how you are recovering. This is a surgery that you should think long and hard about traveling to have because there are times when you need to see your plastic surgeon and it is tough when you are hundreds of miles or a plane flight away.

You : You will need quite a few follow up exams after the body lift. There is no exact number to how many visits are needed as it is very individual. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Body Lift Recovery: A body lift is major surgery and you may not be able to resume normal activities for 8 weeks. You should plan to be out of work for 3 to 4 weeks. There are no set number of follow-ups, but your surgeon will likely want to see you around day 5 at the start. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns, including post-op care and follow-up visits.
