Perfecting Back Lift Post-Weight Loss of 112Lb. Back Lift Success Pictures*

This is a 38-year-old female who weighed 240 pounds. She had gastric bypass surgery and lost 109 pounds. She was not happy with the excess skin and fat in her back and sides. After considering several plastic surgeons, she ultimately chose Dr. J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills, California, to address her back skin and fat concerns. Dr. Katzen performed a vertical backlift surgery, which included liposuction on the back. The entire procedure lasted for 4 hours, during which the patient was under sedation provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The surgery successfully removed four pounds of back skin and fat, and drains were placed on each side. After 12 days, both drains were removed, and the patient returned to her sitting job after 2 weeks. She wore a compression garment for 8 weeks and was thrilled with the results of her backlift. The vertical back lift allowed her to wear clothes she couldn't previously, and she no longer worries about her back. She proudly flaunts her smaller back and feels more confident and content with her body. Her newfound confidence stems from the fact that her back skin and rolls are permanently gone. This patient is now more self-assured and no longer preoccupied with her back. Her newfound confidence stems from the fact that her back skin and rolls are permanently gone.
