This 51-year-old woman made an inspiring commitment to rebuilding her health, losing 120 pounds through discipline, lifestyle changes, and gastric sleeve surgery after once weighing 350 pounds. While her weight loss was an extraordinary achievement, the loose skin that remained around her abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks did not reflect the strong, vibrant woman she had become. Seeking a comprehensive solution, she consulted with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen. He recommended a 360 circumferential lower body lift to correct skin laxity, reshape her contours, and restore balance throughout her midsection. In surgery, Dr. Katzen performed a full tummy tuck, tightening her abdominal muscles and removing redundant skin. He refined her pubic area, sculpted her waist, lifted her hips, and smoothed her outer thighs. Rotating to the posterior region, he removed sagging lower-back skin and elevated the buttocks to a more youthful height and shape. Four drains supported initial healing, and she wore compression garments as she recovered. Week by week, she saw her transformation unfold—a firmer abdomen, more sculpted waistline, smoother hips, and beautifully lifted buttocks. Today she feels confident, energized, and empowered, grateful for her decision to trust Dr. Katzen. His meticulous technique and genuine care helped her achieve a result that truly honors her hard work and dedication.

This 51-year-old woman reached a turning point in her life when she lost 120 pounds after once weighing 350. Her weight-loss journey brought tremendous improvements to her health, confidence, and overall well-being. However, the loose, sagging skin that remained across her abdomen, hips, lower back, and buttocks kept her from fully embracing the shape she worked so hard to achieve. Wanting a truly complete transformation, she consulted with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, who recommended a 360 circumferential lower body lift to reshape her midsection from all angles. During this comprehensive surgery, Dr. Katzen performed a full tummy tuck with muscle tightening, refined her pubic region, sculpted her waistline, and lifted her outer thighs. He continued around the back to remove lower-back skin and elevate the buttocks, restoring curvature, firmness, and proportion. The circumferential incision allowed every component of her midsection to be harmonized in a single operation. Her recovery included four drains, dedicated compression therapy, and guided mobility to support healing. As the swelling gradually resolved, she was amazed by her transformation—a smooth, flat abdomen, a narrowed waist, lifted buttocks, and a beautifully balanced silhouette. She feels confident, renewed, and deeply grateful she chose Dr. Katzen. His precision, artistry, and compassion helped her reclaim the body she envisioned and celebrate the next chapter of her journey with pride.
