Back Lift Excellence After Major Weight Loss of 150 pounds and at 60 years old*

This is a 5’6” 160-pound White 60-year-old female. Her maximum weight was 310 pounds. This patient lost 150 pounds with gastric bypass, diet, and exercise. Still, she was not happy with the extra fat and skin on her sides and back. She looked up a lot of information on the internet and found that Dr. J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills, California, was an expert in reconstructive plastic surgery after losing a lot of weight. Dr. J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills, California, was the person she chose to get help with her back.  Dr. Katzen examined her back. The patient and Dr. Katzen agreed that if she only did back liposuction, the patient would have rolls of skin on his back. A vertical torsoplasty and back liposuction were decided upon.  It took Dr. Katzen four hours to complete the vertical torsoplasty and one hour to finish the back liposuction.  The back lift was done while the patient was completely asleep under anesthesia. Two weeks after surgery, the patient returned to her sitting job. For 6 weeks, she wore her compression garment. She is very happy with her the back lift results. Clothes fit better. She can wear clothes that she was unable to wear before she had the vertical torsoplasty. The back lift made her feel better about her body, and she is proud of her weight loss accomplishments.  She is very happy with how flat and smooth her back lift turned out. She is shocked at how much better her general shape, especially her back looks.
