New Back Horizon: Incredible Back Lift/Reduction After 180-Lb Weight Loss*

This is a 5’7” 270 pound White 48-year-old female. Their maximum weight was 450 pounds. This patient lost 180 pounds with gastric bypass, diet, and exercise. Although she had tried to lose weight before, she still felt bad about the extra skin and fat on her sides and back. She did internet research and discovered Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, a back lift expert. Consequently, she went to see Dr. Katzen in Beverly Hills, California. A full checkup later, both Dr. Katzen and the patient agreed that back liposuction by itself would leave skin rolls. A horizontal torsoplasty and back liposuction were done by Dr. Katzen to fix this. Surgery took 4 hours. On each side of the back, there were drains. The drains were taken out 10 days after the surgery. The patient  went back to working from home 3 weeks after surgery. The first 6 weeks, she wore a compression suit that supported her body. She used silicone strips and scar cream every day after the fourth week. She used a silicone scar treatment on her back for eight months. Her back lift made her look very different, and she can now wear clothes that didn't fit her before the back lift. The back lift surgery not only made her look better, but it also made her love the way her body looked. The back lift surgery really did a great job of lifting this patient's back.  The back lift allowed this patient to wear her new clothes with pride and feel good in tight clothes. This patient was very happy and satisfied with her new back.
