There are many options, techniques, and approaches for improving contour of the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks.  The best surgical and other aesthetic services to optimally address your concerns and aesthetic goals will depend upon each patient’s unique skin and aging patterns, extent of laxity and fat excess, body shape, tolerance for scarring and downtime, goals, and budget.  The most important consideration is finding a qualified plastic surgeon that you can trust to fully explore and determine your best options to fully achieve your goals and expectations.

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art, non-surgical options in addition to cosmetic surgery that can reduce fat and tighten skin. If you have minor fatty deposits and skin excess and laxity, Vanquish ME and Exilis Ultra are state of the art, FDA-cleared options for non-invasive office treatment.  Vaser Liposuction and Renuvion J-Plasma can effectively remove smaller fat deposits, tighten tissue, and improve shape without larger surgical incisions and recovery times.  For most common patient issues however, surgical body lifting procedures in Toledo, combined with liposuction fat contouring and/or fat grafting, if needed, are the only effective and long-lasting options to fully restore a more youthful lower body contour with safe and balanced results.

Body lifts in Toledo costs will depend on multiple factors including the extent of the deformity and surgical correction planned, whether other ancillary procedures are indicated, and the surgical facility and anesthesia expenses. You will be provided with a complete and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

Not at all! Lower body contouring techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon and the nature of each patient’s aging pattern. Dr. Barone has developed a more comprehensive aesthetic body contouring approach that involves emphasis on pre-operative preparation and planning, and a post-procedure program that employs various therapeutic modalities proven to reduce swelling and downtime. Dr. Barone also believes that a more comprehensive approach involving repositioning and deep support of aging tissue, minimizing visible scars, combined with balanced removal of excess fat rather than ‘skin pulling’ techniques are the most effective methods to restore a long-lasting, balanced and youthful appearance in body contouring without to the typical ‘operated’ or unnatural look.

Recovery or downtime after the body lift procedure in Toledo will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures as well as patient age and health and this should be individualized.  It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and progresses thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery, we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health along with exercise, proper nutrition, and healthy lifestyle can significantly improve the quality and longevity of body lift and aesthetic body contouring surgery.  A personalized medical skin care program as well as proven naturopathic supplements for healing, post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing.  Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

Body lift and body contouring surgical results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors.  These include patient age, lifestyle and genetics, surgical technique, and approach and, most importantly, post-operative skin and aesthetic maintenance treatments. Regular exercise and healthy lifestyle, as well as improving muscle tone and EmSculpt treatments can also contribute to improving and increasing quality and longevity of your surgery.  A personalized medical skin care program will be recommended after surgery and, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments, can extend youthful results longer than traditional body contouring surgical procedures.
