Weight Loss Woman Gets Significant Body Reshaping with Lower Body Lift Surgery*

Extreme weight loss can leave behind loose and sagging skin, making it difficult for individuals to achieve their desired body contour. In this case, a White female patient who was 5'5" and weighed 350 pounds lost an incredible 180 pounds through diet and exercise. However, she was still unhappy with the excess skin and traveled from out of state to California to undergo a 360 circumferential body lift with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen. Dr. Katzen is a highly skilled plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring procedures after massive weight loss and has extensive experience in performing body lifts. During the procedure, Dr. Katzen removed 11.5 pounds of excess skin and fat. The lower body lift involves making incisions around the entire circumference of the body (like a belt), allowing for the tightening of the underlying tissues and the removal of excess skin and fat. The patient's decision to undergo a 360 circumferential body lift is a common decision for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss. The surgery can help to eliminate the uncomfortable, unsightly excess skin that can be a source of embarrassment and self-consciousness. With the help of a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Katzen, patients can achieve the body contour they desire and improve their quality of life. Note how flat this patient's abdomen is after her body lift. Look at the improvement in the mons, hips, and butt. Witness the improvement in her overall shape.
