Your results from lower body lift surgery are visible almost immediately, though it may take several months to as long as one to two years for the final results to fully develop. Visible scars will remain, but the overall results are long lasting as long as you keep a steady weight and exercise regularly. As your body ages it is natural to lose some firmness, however, most of your improvements should be relatively permanent.
You will return to your plastic surgeon's office for follow-up care at designated intervals to evaluate your progress.
