Her New Self: 100 Pounds Less & Body Lifted!*

This is a black 32-year-old female patient who had originally weighed 280 lbs. With discipline, diet, and exercise, she lost 120 lbs. She weighed 160 lbs on the day of surgery. She was left with excess skin and fat in her abdomen, hips, thighs, and back. She underwent an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck with liposuction of the abdomen, lower back, and bra-strap region. Dr. Katzen then strained the fat and washed it with antibiotics and injected the pure fat into her breasts for a bilateral autologous fat transfer of the breasts. This surgery took 6 hours to complete under general anesthesia. Dr. Katzen removed 4 lbs of skin and fat from the abdomen and 5 lbs of fat from the liposuction. This patient is very satisfied with her shapely body and continues to diet and exercise.
