This 24-year-old female is shown after completing her transformation with a 360 circumferential lower body lift performed by Dr. J. Timothy Katzen. At her maximum weight, she weighed 290 pounds. Through long-term commitment to diet and exercise combined with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, she achieved an impressive 130-pound weight loss. While her weight loss significantly improved her health and quality of life, it also left behind extensive loose skin around the abdomen, flanks, hips, lower back, and buttocks that could not tighten on its own.
A circumferential lower body lift was recommended to address the entire lower torso in one comprehensive procedure. This advanced surgery involved removing excess skin and tissue from the abdomen and lower back, tightening the waistline, elevating the outer thighs, and lifting the buttocks into a more youthful, natural position. Dr. Katzen carefully planned the incision placement to remain low and well concealed while restoring balanced contours from every angle.
Her results are dramatic yet natural. The abdomen is flat and firm, the waist is clearly defined, and the buttocks are lifted, creating a smoother, more athletic silhouette. She reports improved comfort, greater mobility, and renewed confidence in clothing and daily activities. She is extremely happy with her results and confident in her decision to choose Dr. Katzen, feeling that her outward appearance finally reflects the dedication and hard work behind her weight loss success.
