25-34 year old woman treated with Body Lift

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

Our patient is a 61-year-old White female who had previously been morbidly obese and reached a highest weight of 265 lbs. Through dieting, exercise, RNY gastric bypass, and GLP-1 medications, she reached her lowest weight of 165 lbs. After this tremendous weight-loss journey, she came to Dr. Katzen to remove excess skin and reshape her body contour. She was placed under general anesthesia for a customized full-body transformation plan. Dr. Katzen performed a circumferential lower body lift to remove loose skin and tissue from the abdomen, waist, hips, lower back, buttocks, and outer thighs. This 360 body lift helped improve hanging tummy skin, lower body laxity, and waistline shape. He also performed a brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, to remove hanging upper arm skin and create a smoother arm contour. To address loose upper torso skin, Dr. Katzen performed a torsoplasty with vertical incisions on both sides of her torso, removing excess skin from the back and sides to improve her upper body shape. As part of the same transformation, fat was grafted from other areas of her body, prepared, and transferred to her buttocks to improve buttock contour, projection, and balance. This fat transfer to the buttocks, also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, helped refine her shape using her own tissue. Photos were taken 3 months after surgery, and our patient achieved remarkable results with a smoother, more balanced figure.
