How is the Procedure Performed?#

- Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened.
- Incisions are closed carefully to minimize scarring.
- The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity.

- Swelling and bruising are normal and gradually subside within a few weeks.
- Most patients return to light activities in 7-10 days and resume full activity within 4-6 weeks.

- Scars will fade over time but may take several months to fully mature.
