After Massive Loss & Lower Body Lift: Total Lower Body Skin/Fat Transformation*

This is a 38-year-old female patient. Her maximum weight was 240 pounds. She lost 85 pounds with diet and exercise. As a result of the weight loss, she had excess skin in her abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Many weight-loss patients worry about their buttocks being flat after a lower body lift. To avoid this, Dr. Katzen paired the 360 circumferential body lift with a dermal propeller flap for autologous butt augmentation and bilateral longitudinal medial thigh reduction. The dermal propeller flap is a Dr. Katzen specialty where he uses your own tissue to project the buttock. This patient is happy with her new, curvy body. Other options for a bigger buttock include autologous fat transfer, also known as a BBL, and Sculptra. Sculptra is FDA approved and works by stimulating your own body to produce collagen in response to Poly L Lactic Acid, it’s the main component. After your treatment, over the next few weeks, collagen is gradually built up from the injections and the appearance of your results improves.
