This postoperative image shows a 44-year-old female after a 360 circumferential lower body lift with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen. She previously weighed 435 pounds and lost an extraordinary 300 pounds through diet, exercise, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Despite this success, excess skin affected comfort, posture, and confidence.
A circumferential lower body lift was performed to remove excess skin from the abdomen and lower back while tightening the waist and lifting the buttocks and outer thighs. Dr. Katzen carefully designed the incisions to remain low and concealed, prioritizing both function and aesthetics.
The transformation is profound. She reports improved mobility, reduced skin-related discomfort, and a renewed sense of self. She is delighted with her results and confident she made the right decision in choosing Dr. Katzen.
