Before & After: 250 Pounds Gone, Lower Body Lift Completed*

This Hispanic 29-year-old male patient initially weighed 450 pounds. With diet and exercise, he lost 250 lbs. With that weight loss came excess skin and fat in their abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. In February of 2020, Dr. Katzen performed his signature 360 circumferential body lift paired with the bilateral medial thigh lift and fat transfer to the back of the head to smooth out unwanted folds. This procedure was done under general anesthesia and took 8 hours to complete. Dr. Katzen removed 15 lbs of skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, and buttocks, 4 lbs of skin and fat from the thighs, and 2 lbs of fat from liposuction of the thighs. This patient came back in November of 2020 for a long brachioplasty or arm lift and reduction, vertical torsoplasty, and crescent thigh lift. This surgery was also done under general anesthesia and took 7 hours to complete. 4 lbs of skin and fat were removed from the torsoplasty. This patient completed his skin-removal surgery and is happy with his body. He continues to work out, eat right, and live an active lifestyle.
