LOWER BODY LIFT

A 52-years-old Miami plastic surgery patient came to our cosmetic surgery center in Fort Lauderdale for consult regarding body contouring surgery. He lost 130 lbs. after gastric-by-pass surgery 2 years ago. His weight oscillates within a 10-15 lbs.

On clinical exam he demonstrated significant skin folds, sagging and deformity due to underlying scars from gastric-by-pass surgery. We discussed a staged approach to his body contouring surgery. First stage was to remove all redundant skin and fat around his waist (abdomen and back), remove deforming abdominal scar and tighten loose abdominal muscles. This will also include moderate body sculpting by means of liposuction in particular of upper abdomen and lower back areas.

His surgery was performed in hospital, in general anesthesia.  Patient spent one night in the hospital and was discharged home next day.
