Elevating Back Aesthetics: Post-Weight Loss Back Lift after 125-Lbs weight loss*

This is a 5’4” 120 pound White 59-year-old female. Their maximum weight was 235 pounds. This patient lost 125 pounds with gastric bypass, diet, and exercise. The extra skin and fat on her sides and back still made her sad. She saw a specialist named Dr. J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills, California, because of this. After a full checkup, both Dr. Katzen and the patient agreed that back liposuction by itself would leave skin rolls. To fix this, Dr. Katzen did a vertical torsoplasty and back liposuction. The plastic surgery took four hours, and the liposuction took an hour. They both took general anesthesia, which was given by a trained doctor. There are drains on each side of the back. They were taken out ten days after the surgery. The person went back to her sitting job two weeks after the surgery. For the first three weeks, she took care of her wounds, and for the next six weeks, she wore a compression garment. From the fourth week on, she used silicone strips and scar cream twice a day for six months. The back lift changed her look a lot, and now she can wear clothes that didn't fit her before. The surgery not only made her look better, but it also made her feel better about her body and loved how it looked. The results of the back lift surgery were truly remarkable. It came true for our patient that she could show off new clothes and feel good in tight clothes. She said she "felt very happy and good in her new body."
