What Procedures Are Included in the 28 Day Surgery Package?
Our comprehensive 28 Day Surgery Package at Azurite Medical and Wellness is designed to address multiple areas of concern for clients with severe excess skin following significant weight loss. This all-encompassing approach allows for a dramatic transformation in a relatively short period. Let's explore the procedures included in this package:
Upper Body Procedures
Our package begins with upper body surgeries to reshape and contour the arms, chest, and back. An extended arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, creating a more toned appearance. For women, we offer a breast lift with the option of fat transfer or implants to restore volume and shape to the breasts.
Core and Lower Body Procedures
The cornerstone of our package is often the extended tummy tuck, which removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure may also include a pubic mons lift for a more comprehensive result. To further enhance the body's contours, we perform liposuction on areas with stubborn fat deposits.
Comprehensive Body Contouring
For a total body transformation, our package includes a belt lipectomy, also known as a lower body lift. This procedure addresses the lower abdomen, hips, outer thighs, and buttocks in one surgery. We also offer butt augmentation using the patient's own tissue for a natural-looking enhancement.
Facial Rejuvenation
To complete the transformation, we include a full facelift in our package. This procedure addresses signs of aging in the mid-face, neck, and temporal regions, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Customization and Recovery
While these procedures form the core of our 28 Day Surgery Package, we understand that each patient's needs are unique. Our team of expert surgeons will work with you to customize the package to your specific goals and medical requirements.
It's important to note that many of these procedures may be eligible for early release of superannuation if deemed medically necessary by your GP. This can make these transformative surgeries more accessible to those who need them.
Our package includes not just the surgeries themselves, but also a comfortable stay at a quality hotel, comprehensive coverage of all surgical costs, personalized aftercare, and convenient transfers. We're committed to providing a seamless experience that focuses on your comfort, safety, and outstanding results.
What are the Benefits of the Procedures in the Package?
Our 28-day surgery package offers a comprehensive suite of procedures designed to address the unique challenges faced by individuals who have undergone significant weight loss. Let's explore the benefits of each component:
Transformative Body Contouring
The extended arm lift, tummy tuck, and thigh lift procedures work in harmony to dramatically reshape your body contour. These surgeries remove excess, sagging skin and tighten underlying tissues, resulting in a more toned and proportionate appearance. The tummy tuck, in particular, can help alleviate chronic issues like back pain and skin irritation caused by overhanging abdominal skin.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Our package includes procedures that not only remove excess skin but also enhance your overall aesthetic. The breast lift with fat transfer or implants can restore volume and youthfulness to your chest area. Similarly, the butt augmentation using your own tissue provides a natural-looking enhancement to your posterior, complementing your new silhouette.
Comprehensive Fat Reduction
Liposuction is a versatile tool in our arsenal, used in conjunction with other procedures to fine-tune your results. It can target stubborn fat deposits in various areas, including the outer thighs and buttocks, to further refine your body shape. The belt lipectomy, also known as a lower body lift, offers a more extensive transformation by addressing multiple body regions simultaneously.
Facial Rejuvenation
A full facelift completes your transformation by addressing signs of aging in the face and neck. This procedure can help tighten loose skin, smooth wrinkles, and restore a more youthful facial contour, ensuring that your face matches your rejuvenated body.
Improved Quality of Life
Beyond the aesthetic improvements, these procedures can significantly enhance your quality of life. Many patients report increased confidence, improved ability to find well-fitting clothes, and relief from physical discomfort associated with excess skin. The comprehensive nature of our package ensures that all areas of concern are addressed, leading to a more harmonious overall result.
By combining these procedures into a single package, we offer a holistic approach to body contouring after massive weight loss, helping you achieve the final step in your transformative journey.
Recovery and Aftercare Following the Surgeries
The recovery process after undergoing multiple procedures in our 28-day surgery package is a critical phase that requires patience, dedication, and careful adherence to post-operative instructions. At Azurite Medical and Wellness, we prioritize your comfort and successful healing throughout this journey.
Initial Recovery Period
The first few weeks following your surgeries are crucial for proper healing. During this time, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal parts of the recovery process. Our team will provide you with prescribed pain medications to manage any discomfort effectively. It's essential to wear compression garments as directed, as they help reduce swelling and support healing tissues.
For procedures such as the full facelift, tummy tuck, and thigh lift, we recommend keeping the treated areas elevated to minimize swelling. Sleeping on your back with pillows strategically placed can aid in maintaining the proper position.
Gradual Return to Activities
As you progress through your recovery, we'll guide you on gradually increasing your activity levels. Light walking is encouraged to promote blood circulation and prevent blood clots. However, strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 6-8 weeks after your procedures, including the arm lift and liposuction.
Most patients can return to light, sedentary work within 2-3 weeks, depending on the nature of their job and the extent of their surgeries. We'll work closely with you to determine the appropriate time to resume various activities.
Long-Term Care and Results
Full recovery from comprehensive procedures like a tummy tuck or thigh lift can take several months. Scars from incisions typically take 6-12 months to fully mature and fade. We provide detailed instructions on scar management to optimize your results.
It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and proper hydration, to support your body's healing process and preserve your surgical results. Regular follow-up appointments will allow us to monitor your progress and address any concerns you may have.
At Azurite Medical and Wellness, we're committed to supporting you throughout your entire recovery journey, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcomes from your transformative surgeries.
Eligibility for Early Release of Superannuation
At Azurite Medical and Wellness, we understand that financing extensive body contouring procedures can be challenging. For many of our clients, accessing superannuation funds early may be a viable option to cover the costs of medically necessary treatments. Here's what you need to know about eligibility for early release of superannuation for our 28-day surgery package.
Medical Necessity Criteria
To qualify for early release of superannuation, the procedures must be deemed medically necessary, not purely cosmetic. According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), this typically includes treatments that:
Alleviate acute or chronic pain
Treat life-threatening illnesses or injuries
Address severe mental health conditions
Many of our procedures, such as extended arm lift, tummy tuck, and thigh lift, may qualify if they're necessary to alleviate physical discomfort or improve quality of life after significant weight loss.
Required Documentation
To apply for early release, you'll need to provide:
Two detailed medical reports: one from your GP and one from a specialist (such as a plastic surgeon)
An itemized quote for the procedures
Evidence of financial hardship
These reports must certify that the treatment is necessary and not readily available through the public health system.
Application Process
Contact your superannuation fund to confirm they allow early release for medical procedures.
Complete an online claim form with the ATO through your myGov account.
Wait for the ATO's assessment, which typically takes up to 14 days.
If approved, arrange the release of funds with your super fund.
Important Considerations
While early release can make procedures like full facelift or liposuction more accessible, it's crucial to consider the long-term implications:
Withdrawn funds are taxed as income, potentially affecting your tax bracket.
Early withdrawal reduces your retirement savings and future investment growth.
There may be impacts on your insurance coverage within your super fund.
We recommend consulting with a financial advisor to fully understand the implications of accessing your superannuation early for medical procedures.
Thigh Lift FAQs
What is a thigh lift and who is it for?
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, resulting in sagging skin around the thighs. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, ideal candidates for a thigh lift are those who have maintained a stable weight for at least a year and are in good overall health.
What does the procedure involve?
The thigh lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. The Cleveland Clinic explains that the surgeon makes incisions in strategic locations, such as the groin area, inner thigh, or outer thigh, depending on the patient's specific needs. Excess skin and fat are then removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened to create smoother, more toned thighs.
What is the recovery process like?
Recovery from a thigh lift can take several weeks. Dr. Carmen's blog on thigh lift recovery outlines the following timeline:
First few days: Expect bruising, swelling, and the need to wear compression garments.
1-2 weeks: Drainage tubes and stitches are removed, and short daily walks are encouraged.
2-4 weeks: Gradually increase walking duration, but avoid strenuous activities.
1-2 months: Incisions are typically healed, and scar reduction options can be discussed.
6 months: Swelling should be completely gone, revealing the final results.
Can a thigh lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, a thigh lift can often be combined with other body contouring procedures. Dr. McMahan's website notes that it's common to combine a thigh lift with procedures such as a full facelift, tummy tuck, liposuction, or arm lift, especially for patients who have undergone significant weight loss. This comprehensive approach can provide more balanced and harmonious results.
Are the results permanent?
While the results of a thigh lift are generally long-lasting, it's important to maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to preserve the outcomes. The skin may continue to be affected by the natural aging process and any future weight fluctuations. Some patients may choose to undergo additional treatments to further improve the appearance of scars over time.
