Press Release

Oklahoma City, OK ( connect2business.co.uk ) November 23, 2013 - Significant weight-loss, and the long-term effects of gravity often cause the appearance of loose, stretched skin on the body. Excess hanging skin is embarrassing, and cannot be removed through diet and exercise alone.

Fortunately, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Kamal Sawan, of Juveniss Plastic Surgery in Oklahoma, offers patients the body lift procedure to correct and reduce the appearance of excess skin. Body lifts are most commonly performed on the hips, buttocks, or abdominal area.

Dr. Sawan explains that a body lift is the best way of improving a patient's body shape and tone. According to Dr. Sawan the best candidates for this procedure are non-smokers, who are generally healthy and already have control over any pre-existing medical issues, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Dr. Sawan stresses that, while the body lift is intended to remove loose skin, it is not a weight-loss procedure, nor is it intended to remove body fat.

The body lift is performed under general anesthesia. First, Dr. Sawan makes incisions at the targeted areas, in order to remove the excess skin. A complete body lift treats the buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips, and thighs, all in one procedure. Dr. Sawan often combines liposuction with the body lift procedure, achieving the best body shape possible for his patients. All incisions are then closed with layers of stitches, and the skin is sealed shut. Patients will need to stay in the hospital overnight, though they will be able to walk the next day. The entire procedure normally takes about 6 hours to complete.

Dr. Sawan says that most patients will be able to stop using pain medications within a week after surgery. Normal activities can be resumed two to six weeks after surgery, though patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks post-surgery. The sutures are dissolvable, and results will be visible almost immediately.

Dr. Sawan offers life-changing cosmetic surgery procedures, including body lifts, breast augmentation and reduction, as well as non-surgical procedures such as skin resurfacing and BOTOX Cosmetic. Dr. Sawan's offices are located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Interested parties are encouraged to contact 405.271.4864, or learn more at http://www.juveniss.com.
