Lower Body Lift Surgery Yields Major Slimming in Tummy, Mons, Hips, and Buttock*

Meet our incredible patient, a 58-year-old Black female standing at 5'3" and weighing 298 pounds. In 2009, she underwent lap band surgery and successfully lost a staggering 108 pounds. However, despite her remarkable weight loss, she was still struggling with excess skin and fat in various areas of her body, including her abdomen, thighs, pubic region, hips, and buttocks. Determined to achieve the body of her dreams, she turned to the renowned Dr. J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills, CA, for help. Dr. Katzen performed a 360 circumferential body lift procedure. The lower body lift was performed under general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist. During the lower body lift, Dr. Katzen was able to expertly remove 18 pounds of excess skin and fat from her tummy, hips, and buttocks. Four drains were placed and removed after two weeks. She wore her garment for seven weeks. She applied the prescribed Biocorneum silicone cream and silicone strips. Now our patient is thrilled with her results. She is so happy she had her lower body lift by Dr. Katzen. She feels more confident than ever before. Her journey is a testament to the power of hard work, determination, and the expertise of a skilled plastic surgeon to help individuals achieve their desired body goals and improve their quality of life. The patient's only regret is that she did not lose her weight early and had undergone the lower body lift sooner so that she could enjoy, in her words, "living in a smaller body."
