Beverly Hills patient gets smaller abdomen, hips and legs after body lift*

This patient has been with Dr. Katzen for her entire post-weight loss journey. She's a black 5'6 female who originally weighed 320 lbs. With diet and exercise, she lost over 100 lbs and had excess skin and fat of the abdomen, mons, hips, buttocks, thighs, arms, and breasts. These areas could not be addressed in one surgery so Dr. Katzen staged them, all being done under general anesthesia. He first did the 360 circumferential lower body lift combined with a longitudinal medial thigh lift. The 360 body lift took 5.5 hours to complete and the thigh lift took 3 hours to complete. Dr. Katzen removed 21.5 lbs of skin and fat from the abdomen, buttocks, and hips. He removed 3.5 lbs of skin and fat from the medial thigh lift and reduction. 6.4 lbs of fat were liposuctioned from her thighs as well. This patient came back a couple of months later for a bilateral breast lift with an anchor incision, long brachioplasty or an arm lift and reduction, horizontal torsoplasty, and fat transfer of her arms to breasts. This surgery took 10 hours long. 5 lbs of skin and fat were removed from the torso and two lbs of skin and fat were removed from the arms. She came back for liposuction of the lumbar region and back, liposuction of the thighs, and breast augmentation with silicone implants. She has since fully healed and is happy with her curvy body. She's also able to work out with ease.
