What to Know Before Getting a Korean Plastic Surgery Body Lift

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Body Sculpting

Dramatic weight loss and natural aging greatly contribute to sagging skin, especially below the waistline. While some things can be fixed with a balanced diet and exercise, it is quite impossible for the skin to return to its previous, youthful appearance. Because of this, the Korean plastic surgery body lift was developed to help patients get rid of unwanted skin and sagging. The procedure focuses on sculpting the buttocks, the back of the thighs, outer thighs, inner thighs, hips, and the abdomen. This one procedure will completely change the appearance of a patient’s body.

When should this procedure be done?

Dramatic weight loss is one of the key times when the skin cannot handle the pressure of drastically decreasing its size and shape. Because of this, the skin is left to slowly cope with the sudden change, and ends up loose and saggy. This anti-aging surgery in Korea is will improve the look of the skin and help it return to its previous form. Patients either choose to undergo this procedure for purely aesthetic reasons, or because the situation is so bad that the loose skin prevents them from moving gracefully so. Some dreadful effects from excess, loose skin can cause painful chafing, rashes or infection, so there are certainly many health benefits for this procedure as well.

The Pros and Cons of this procedure

This Asian surgery removes loose skin and sculpts the contour of your body; even muscles that are developed through exercise cannot be seen properly if there is too much skin hanging over them. However, the patient must remember that this is in many ways a demanding surgery, as are all surgeries that are focused on the abdomen. It has a lengthy recovery period of up to a month (for full recovery) and care must be taken so as not to disturb the stitches, as well as the scars when they start to heal. The patient will likely need to remain hospitalized for about three days under the monitoring of a doctor. Depending on the extent of the surgery, you may also be left with a very thin scar on your bikini line, although this is not the same for all patients.

Plastic surgery has procedures for pretty much every part of the human body -- contouring, breast augmentation, calf reduction surgery and facial feature improvement surgery, you name it. With so many different options to choose from, more and more patients are now able to transform their body image and to dive into new experiences in life where they feel more confident and in control.
