A body lift is a procedure to raise and reshape unsightly, sagging body contours. Lifting the sagging skin left behind from massive weight loss (usually after gastric bypass procedures or stomach stapling procedures) completes the process of relieving oneself of obesity and its chronic health problems. The effects of massive weight loss include excess skin in the abdomen, inner/outer thighs, breasts and arms, and face. Usually a combination of procedures is required at staged intervals, such as lower body lifting (abdomen, inner/outer thighs) followed by upper body lifting (breast lifts, arm lifts, facelifts).
Dr. Sharma works with patients and other physicians to insure that all necessary dietary changes and lifestyle changes are in place prior to undergoing body lifts. A stable weight must be achieved for a period of time to ensure no additional procedures will be needed in the near future. Circumferential incisions are frequently necessary to achieve proper contouring, and general anesthesia, with a short hospital stay, are required to ensure a safe recovery.
I had a cut tendon that was not initially diagnosed (elsewhere). I was in surgery less than 24 hrs after seeing Dr. Sharma. The coordination with Dell Setton UT, covid precautions, and Dr. Sharma’s team was fast and smooth. The surgery went great and I am on the way to being able to use my thumb again! The follow up with Occupational Therapy is excellent. So many people helping me along is a humbling experience.
Dr Sharma and Sarah Ellis are both amazing and helpful. Dr Sharma cares as does his staff and he beyond does his homework. Love this medical group!
I felt like I was taken care of like their family. My specialty needs were met, and they are providing aftercare exactly the same way. My special care continues, and I am so happy to share my experiences with everyone!!
He explained everything about the steps that I need to do before the surgery, and my sister and I felt like he was very caring and compassionate to my needs and really wanting to help me out and get my questions answered about what I will be facing, and overall I felt like my dream and future will become a reality for me. And an answer to my prayers and having a hope for a better life and great outcome for my future.
Individual attention concerning my welfare was over and above my expectations. Best medical care you could ask for. Thank you DR. SHARMA AND YOUR TEAM!
