This case shows the power of expert surgical body contouring after major weight loss. Our patient is a 33-year-old Hispanic male who once weighed 370 pounds and later reached 220 pounds after dieting, exercising, and undergoing a vertical gastric sleeve. Although his weight loss was a major accomplishment, he was left with excess skin that wrapped around the lower abdomen, hips, back, and buttocks. To address this, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen performed a 360 ° Circumferential Lower Body Lift under general anesthesia. A CBL is designed to remove loose skin around the entire lower body, lift and smooth the lower trunk, and improve the overall contour after massive weight loss. This procedure can be especially helpful for post-bariatric patients because skin laxity often affects the front, sides, and back. Dr. Katzen carefully planned the skin removal to help reduce folds, improve the waistline, and create a more balanced male body contour. These photos were taken 2 months after surgery, so the result is still early, but the improvement is remarkable. Our patient’s lower body looks tighter, his waistline is defined, and his silhouette appears more athletic and proportionate. A 360 ° lower-body lift can be a life-changing procedure for patients who have worked hard to lose weight but still feel held back by loose skin. Dr. Katzen routinely helps massive weight loss patients complete their transformation with body contouring surgery.

Post-Weight Loss Body Lift

Loose skin after massive weight loss can be frustrating because it usually does not shrink back with further dieting or exercise. Our patient is a 33-year-old Hispanic male who worked incredibly diligently to change his health and body. He was previously morbidly obese; his highest weight was 370 pounds, and after diet, exercise, and a vertical gastric sleeve, he reached his lowest weight of 220 pounds. He approached Dr. J. Timothy Katzen to address the excess skin left behind after weight loss. Dr. Katzen performed a 360° circumferential lower body lift under general anesthesia to remove loose skin from the abdomen, hips, waist, lower back, and buttocks. This procedure is also called a CBL and is commonly performed for patients with massive weight loss and post-bariatric patients who have skin laxity across the entire lower body. By treating the body circumferentially, Dr. Katzen can create a more complete improvement than treating the abdomen alone. At only 2 months post-op, our patient already has a much tighter, smoother, and more proportionate lower body contour. The results are remarkable, especially considering how early he is in the healing process. A 360º lower-body lift can help patients feel more comfortable in clothing, reduce the burden of hanging skin, and better showcase their weight-loss success. Dr. Katzen specializes in helping patients complete their transformation after massive weight loss with improved confidence, comfort, and proportion.
