This 65-year-old patient struggled with obesity for years, ultimately reaching a weight of 305 pounds. After undergoing gastric bypass surgery and committing to a healthier lifestyle, she successfully lost 160 pounds. However, the significant weight loss left her with excess skin and fat, especially on her thighs. The loose skin affected the front, inner, and outer portions of her thighs, extending from her groin to her knees. This not only caused aesthetic concerns but also made it difficult to exercise effectively and find clothes that fit properly. Determined to improve her body shape, she turned to Dr. Katzen, a highly experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in post-weight loss body contouring. After consultation, Dr. Katzen recommended a longitudinal vertical medial thigh lift and thigh reduction. The surgery was performed alongside a 360 circumferential lower body lift, which addressed her entire lower body. Liposuction was also done on the anterior, inner, and lateral thighs to remove excess fat. An incision was made from her groin to her knee, removing a large area of skin and fat. Two drains were placed in each thigh, and an On-Q pain pump was used to manage post-surgical pain. The pain pump was removed on day five, and the drains were taken out about 10 days later. She wore a compression garment for six weeks and applied silicone cream and strips for optimal scar healing. Now, she is extremely happy with her toned, sculpted thighs and enjoys exercising, shopping for clothes, and living a more active lifestyle. She is thankful to Dr. Katzen for helping her achieve her desired transformation.

This 65-year-old patient, who previously struggled with obesity and weighed 305 pounds, underwent gastric bypass surgery, losing an incredible 160 pounds. While this weight loss greatly improved her health, it left her with excess skin and fat on her thighs. The skin sagged along the front, inner, and outer portions of her thighs, extending from her groin to her knees, which made it difficult to exercise and find clothing that fit well. After researching her options for body contouring, she found Dr. Katzen, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in post-weight loss body sculpting. During her consultation, Dr. Katzen recommended a longitudinal vertical medial thigh lift combined with thigh reduction surgery. This procedure was performed as part of a 360 circumferential lower body lift, a full lower-body rejuvenation. Liposuction was also carried out on the anterior, inner, and lateral thighs to remove excess fat. The procedure involved an incision from the groin to the knee, removing a significant amount of skin and fat. Two drains were placed in each thigh, and an On-Q pain pump was used to manage discomfort during recovery. She wore a compression garment for six weeks and applied silicone cream and strips to aid in scar healing. Now, she’s overjoyed with her more sculpted thighs, enjoys exercising with confidence, and fits comfortably into clothes. She is incredibly grateful to Dr. Katzen for his expertise in helping her achieve the body she always wanted.
