In a surgery like the body lift, the body goes through a significant adaptation process. Not only is excess skin removed, but tissues are repositioned and need time to stabilize in their new position. Therefore, at the Instituto de Benito, we understand recovery as an active part of the treatment, not as a secondary phase. With this approach, Synapta® was born, a protocol aimed at supporting the body in the first days after the intervention.
Far from focusing solely on pain control, this method works on how the body responds after surgery, helping the transition to the new body contour to be more gradual.
What really changes during recovery?
After a body lift, it is common to experience swelling, a feeling of tightness, or some stiffness when moving. These are normal responses, especially in surgery where extensive work has been done on the skin and tissues. With a conventional approach, this phase is mainly managed with rest and medication. However, when neuromuscular and tissue response is also addressed, the evolution tends to be more balanced.
This allows the body to adapt less abruptly to changes, facilitating a more manageable recovery without altering the natural timing of the process.
How does this influence the result of the Body Lift?
The final result does not depend solely on the intervention, but on how the tissues evolve in the weeks following.
When swelling is managed more controlled and the skin adapts progressively to the new contour, the silhouette tends to be defined more uniformly and stably.
Moreover, this type of support promotes better quality in healing and helps the result to be more natural in the long term.
"Surgery marks the change, but it is the recovery that defines how it consolidates." -Carlos Alsina
