A unique alternative to traditional facelifts, tummy tucks and body sculpting, the J-Plazty procedure will shrink and sculpt loose and lax skin without large incisions, downtime or the complications of cosmetic surgery.

Woman treated with Skin Tightening

At 65 years old, our patient is a White female who had lost over 100lbs and was left with significant, sagging back skin that would not tighten with exercise. At 115 lbs, her concern was no longer weight loss; it was the uncomfortable back roll and loose tissue that can bunch in bras, and make the upper torso appear heavier than it truly is. Dr. Timothy Katzen recommended a torsoplasty, also called a back lift, using a horizontal incision to remove the hanging skin and restore a smoother, more balanced contour down through the mid-back. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen carefully marked the excess tissue. At the same time, the patient was positioned to show where the skin naturally folds, then a planned horizontal incision was created so the scar could be placed in a discreet location whenever possible. The loose skin and underlying fatty tissue were then removed in a controlled, even manner, with a focus on maintaining a smooth back and avoiding a pulled appearance. In total, Dr. Katzen removed 1.5 lb of excess skin and then tightened and redraped the remaining tissue to improve contour and reduce bulging along the sides of the torso. The incision was closed in multiple layers to promote strong healing, and compression is typically used to reduce swelling and maintain the new contour. These photos were taken 2.5 months after surgery, and her results are already remarkable, showing a flatter back profile and a more defined, youthful torso silhouette, with continued healing refining these features.

Horizontal Back Lift After Massive Weight Loss | Torsoplasty Transformation

After losing a significant amount of weight, our patient wanted his body to truly reflect the dedication and discipline that helped him transform his health. He is a 44-year-old White male who once weighed 315 pounds and successfully reduced his weight to 165 pounds through diet and exercise. While the weight loss was life-changing, it left behind large amounts of excess skin around the waist and back that could not tighten on its own. To help complete his full-body transformation, Dr. Timothy Katzen performed a 360-degree lower-body lift combined with a back lift, also known as a torsoplasty with a vertical incision, to remove loose skin and restore smoother body contours. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen carefully planned the surgery to address the excess tissue from multiple directions. The 360  lower-body lift focuses on removing redundant skin around the entire circumference of the waist, including the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks. During this portion of the procedure, the excess skin was removed in a controlled manner, and the remaining tissue was lifted and tightened, helping create a firmer waistline and improving the transition between the abdomen, hips, and buttocks. This technique is especially valuable for patients after massive weight loss because it treats the front, sides, and back of the body simultaneously rather than focusing on a single area. To further refine the contour of the upper and mid back, Dr. Katzen also performed a torsoplasty with a vertical incision. This approach allowed him to directly remove the excess skin hanging from the back that was not fully addressed by the lower body lift alone. The vertical incision provides access to the stretched tissue so it can be excised precisely, and the remaining skin can be lifted and re-draped to create a smoother and tighter back profile. After the excess tissue was removed, the incisions were closed in multiple layers to support strong healing and reduce tension on the skin. These photos were taken two months after surgery, and our patient achieved remarkable results. His waistline is noticeably tighter, the loose skin along his back has been removed, and the overall contour of his torso now better reflects the incredible weight loss he worked so hard to achieve.

360 Body Lift + Vertical Torsoplasty for Body Contouring After 315lb Weight Loss Journey

A bilateral medial thigh lift can dramatically improve inner thigh contour when loose skin remains after weight loss. Our patient is a 50-year-old White female who was unhappy with the excess skin of her thighs after losing weight. Even at 159 pounds, she was left with residual thigh skin that would not tighten, causing frustration with clothing, movement, and her overall silhouette. She came to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen seeking surgical thigh contouring and a smoother, firmer appearance. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen performed a bilateral medial thigh lift with vertical incisions placed along the inner thighs. This thigh lift procedure is designed to remove hanging skin and reshape the thighs by carefully excising the redundant tissue, refining the contour, and redraping the remaining skin for a tighter look. Vertical inner thigh incisions are often necessary when excess skin extends down the thigh and cannot be corrected with a smaller hidden incision alone. The goal is to reduce skin laxity, improve proportion, and create better thigh definition while maintaining a natural appearance. These photos were taken just 2 weeks after surgery, and her early results already show remarkable improvement in inner thigh contour, less loose skin, and a more sculpted shape. Because she is still very early in recovery, swelling and healing are ongoing, which makes her progress especially impressive.

Bilateral Medial Thigh Lift surgery Removes Excess Skin and Improves Contour

A circumferential body lift can dramatically improve the shape of the midsection after weight loss leaves behind loose, hanging skin. Our patient is a 68-year-old White female who had previously been morbidly obese and reached a maximum weight of 170 pounds. Through diet, exercise, and GLP-1 use, she brought her weight down to 120 pounds, but she was left unhappy with the excess skin around her abdominal region. To address this, she came to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen for a circumferential body lift, also known as a CBL, to remove the extra skin and improve her body contour. Under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen performed this body lift procedure, removing excess skin and tissue around the midsection and treating the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back in a single continuous surgery. A circumferential body lift is especially useful after major weight loss because it can flatten the stomach, lift the outer thighs and buttocks, and create a smoother transition around the entire lower trunk. The remaining skin is carefully redraped and tightened to create a firmer, more youthful silhouette. Her photos were taken 4 months after surgery and already show remarkable body lift results with a flatter abdominal region, less hanging skin, and a more sculpted waistline. Because she is still relatively early in her healing, her contour is expected to continue to refine as swelling improves and the tissues settle further, with more definition likely ahead.

Circumferential Lower Body Lift Removes Excess Skin After Major Weight Loss

Loose skin on the arms is a common concern after major weight loss, and brachioplasty can offer a lasting solution when skin does not bounce back. Our patient is a 68-year-old White female who had previously been morbidly obese, with a maximum weight of 170 pounds. After losing weight through diet, exercise, and GLP-1 use, she reached 120 pounds, yet she was still bothered by the excess skin on her arms. She turned to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen for brachioplasty, also called an arm lift, to remove hanging skin and restore a firmer, more sculpted appearance of the upper arm. Performed under general anesthesia, this plastic surgery procedure involves carefully placed incisions in the inner arm, excision of redundant skin, removal of excess tissue when needed, and precise redraping of the remaining skin to create a smoother contour. Brachioplasty is especially helpful for post-weight-loss patients whose skin has been stretched and has lost the ability to contract on its own. The goal is not only to remove extra skin, but also to create better arm definition and a more proportional silhouette. An arm lift can make patients feel more confident in short sleeves, sleeveless tops, and everyday clothing. Her post-operative photos were taken 5 years after surgery and still show remarkable long-term arm lift results with tighter upper arms, improved contour, and a more youthful appearance. Her beautiful, durable outcome demonstrates how brachioplasty can provide lasting improvement after weight loss.
