\"BodyIndividuals who have lost a significant amount of weight should be able to celebrate their new shape and healthier lifestyle. Sometimes, though, excessive sagging skin gets in the way of appreciating that weight loss. In these circumstances, a body lift is an excellent solution that can improve not only their physique, but their quality of life. If you\u2019ve made the decision to undergo this life-altering procedure, you\u2019ll want to take the necessary steps prior to surgery and prepare for recovery. Make sure to follow these eight steps in addition to taking the informed advice of your surgeon:<\/p>\n

1. Work out regularly.
\nYou should build up as much muscle as you can prior to surgery as it will make your recovery that much smoother.<\/p>\n

2. Keep a stable weight.
\nDuring the months leading up to your body lift you\u2019ll want to keep your weight as regulated as possible. Excessive weight gain can cause your surgeon to postpone the procedure.<\/p>\n

3. Stop smoking.
\nSmoking cigarettes or consuming nicotine in any other form can inhibit your body\u2019s ability to heal during the recovery process. Therefore, it\u2019s imperative that you quit the habit in advance.<\/p>\n

4. Watch your prescription and over-the-counter drug intake.
\nAspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and even herbal supplements that can increase bleeding should all be taken in moderation in the weeks leading up to the procedure.<\/p>\n

5. Get plenty of rest.
\nMake sure your mind and body are well rested before surgery for better healing.<\/p>\n

6. Fill prescriptions in advance.
\nYou won\u2019t want to worry about having prescriptions filled after surgery so talk to your surgeon about taking care of this task beforehand.<\/p>\n

7. Prepare your house for your recovery period.
\nStock up on high-protein foods, like shakes and smoothie supplements. You\u2019ll want to choose things that are available in liquid form and easy to prepare. Also, set up a comfortable area where you can rest. Stock the area with entertainment, such as books, magazines, DVDs, your computer, and other basics.<\/p>\n

8. Arrange for a friend or family member to help you out.
\nIf you can, make plans for someone to stay with you for a few days after your body lift. If you have young children at home, make sure you have child care arrangements confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
