Project: Smooth Back with Back Perfection: Post-Weight Loss Back Lift Results*

This is a 5’4” 180 pound White 32-year-old female. Their maximum weight was 360 pounds. This patient lost 180 pounds with RNY gastric sleeve, diet, and exercise. Even though she had tried before, she was still unhappy with the extra skin and fat on her sides and back. She went to see an expert in Beverly Hills, California, named Dr. J. Timothy Katzen because of this. Following a full examination, both Dr. Katzen and the patient decided that back liposuction alone would leave skin rolls. As a result, Dr. Katzen did a vertical torsoplasty and liposuction on the back. The liposuction took about an hour and the vertical torsoplasty took about four hours. Both procedures were done under general anesthesia. Within two weeks of the surgery, the patient went back to her sitting job. She took care of her bandages for the first three weeks and wore a compression device for another six weeks. She used silicone strips and scar cream twice a day for six months, starting in the fourth week. The back lift made a huge difference in her appearance, letting her wear clothes that didn't fit her before. This back lift surgery not only made her look better, but it also gave her a lot more confidence and happiness with her body image. She loves her back lift results. What came out of the back lift surgery was nothing less than amazing. Our patient's dreams of showing off new types of clothes and feeling good in tight clothes came true. Her new body gave her much happiness and pleasure.
