Body lifting is also called a Belt Lipectomy.  We start out with the patient prone and do the back part, then flip the patient (still asleep) and work on the front.  Here, we did a body lift and enhanced the breasts.  The scar is designed to be hidden.

Body Lift

This gentleman successfully lost over 100 pounds due to lifestyle changes. While his weight and overall shape were dramatically improved, he was left with areas of stubborn fat as well as loose, hanging skin folds in the multiple body areas. A conventional tummy tuck was inadequate to treat his lower torso, instead requiring a full, circumferential body lift to lift and tighten the front, sides, and back/buttock areas. Additional liposuction contouring was performed to reduce the lower back and love handle region. He was not interested in skin excision to tighten the chest. Instead this area was reduced and tightened with radiofrequency-assisted liposuction contouring (BodyTite).

35-44 year old woman treated with Body Lift

This woman underwent massive weight loss due to lifestyle modification. She developed loose, empty folds of skin in multiple body areas as well as deflation of the breasts. She was treated with a circumferential body lift, buttock lift, liposuction contouring, and breast implants. Her scar is easily hidden beneath underwear and bathing suits and she now enjoys a feminine, youthful, and natural body shape.

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.
