A body lift is one of the most transformative plastic surgery procedures that exists, but there's a lot you should know before considering having one. In part one Dr. Martin and Amy discuss types of body lifts, who's a candidate for the procedure, how to choose the surgeon, what will happen at your consultation, and the possible risks and complications. Empower yourself with everything you need to know about lower body lifts.

Questions to ask your surgeon at your consultation:

• Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
• Do you perform surgery at an accredited facility?
• What specific training do you have in lower body lifting techniques?
• Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
• What surgical technique is recommended for me?
• What are the risks and possible complications?
• How are complications handled?
• Will weight loss/gain/pregnancy alter my results?
• What can I do to maximize my recovery and results?
• What kind of help will I need during my recovery and for how long will I need assistance after surgery?
• How can I expect my torso/lower body to look/age over time?
• What are the options if I am dissatisfied with my outcome?
• Do you have pictures of results that are reasonable for me to expect?
