Back Lift Evolution: Incredible Back Lift Following Massive 232-Lb. Weight Loss*

This is a 5’6” 240 pound White 41-year-old female. Her maximum weight was 472 pounds. This patient lost 232 pounds with a duodenal switch, diet, and exercise. Our client had previously made valiant efforts to shed excess weight, but lingering skin and fat on her back and sides continued to take a toll on her self-esteem. Seeking a solution, she turned to the expertise of Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, a renowned physician in Beverly Hills, California. After a comprehensive medical evaluation, both our client and Dr. Katzen concurred that back liposuction alone might result in unsightly skin rolls. Dr. Katzen devised a comprehensive approach that combined vertical torsoplasty and back liposuction to address her concerns effectively. The back shaping procedure lasted for a total of four hours, with liposuction taking just one hour. This meticulous surgery ensured that excess fat and tissue on both sides of her back were skillfully contoured to achieve the desired results. Following the procedure, our client's stitches were removed after ten days, marking the initial steps toward recovery. To support her healing process, she diligently wore a compression suit for six weeks. The transformation brought about by this back lift was nothing short of remarkable. The patient's appearance underwent a substantial change, allowing her to comfortably fit into clothes she had previously thought were out of reach. She adored her new body, and the impact on her self-image was profound.
