Back Lift Miracle: Eliminating Back Skin Rolls After 220lbs Weight Loss*

This is a 5’4” 180 pound White 54-year-old female. Her maximum weight was 400 pounds. This patient lost 220 pounds with RNY gastric bypass, diet, and exercise. After her massive weight loss, she lost 126 pounds. Still, she wasn't happy with the extra fat and skin on her sides and back. She searched  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 from for her back. The patient did not want a visible scar across the center of her back. The patient and Dr. Katzen agreed that if she only did back liposuction, the patient would have rolls of skin on her back. A vertical torsoplasty and back liposuction were decided to the best option by Dr. Katzen. The surgery  took four hours for the vertical torsoplasty and one hour for the back liposuction to be done while the patient was completely asleep under general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist watching her. On each side, a drain was positioned.   On day fourteen after surgery, both back drains were carefully withdrawn.  For six weeks, she wore her compression device.  The patient used the silicone cream and strips for a total of six months. She is happy about her smoother back.   She feels amazed at how much improved her overall body shape and especially her back looks.
