I had a body lift in June 2016. The love handle/flank area however has been a huge disappointment. I am 15 pounds light now than my surgery date. Do the attached pictures illustrate that too much fat was left during the procedure. Will liposuction, in particulate, body tite lips remedy it or is another procedure required.
Answer: Body lift? I can see you had a tummy tuck as part of your body lift, but there are several different types of body lifts and I do not know what else was addressed. If your flank has fat you can pinch then it can be easily removed with liposuction. If loose skin in the flank is the issue it also can be corrected with a body lift procedure. Men however are less excepting of the scar which is hidden under the bra line of women but would be very noticeable in a shirtless man. Discuss with a plastic surgeon who does different types of body lifts. Good luck.

Answer: Options one year after body lift It looks like you have mostly posterior flank fat and little excess skin. That is good, because the area where you have fat is one of the best areas to have liposuction performed. It is possible at your initial surgery liposuction was not performed there, and this could be due to concerns about the skin blood supply. In any case, you should see a good result from a liposuction procedure.

Answer: 360 circumferential lower body lift body lift revision Los Angeles body lift revision specialist extra fat missed lipo Hi CFisher73, Thank you for your question and pictures regarding a 360 circumferential lower body lift. I'm sorry you are disappointed with your lower body lift results. In your case, it is difficult to determine exactly what is going on. From the pictures you provided, it is difficult to tell exactly what surgery you had. From your backside picture, I do not see a posterior incision. A 360 circumferential lower body lift includes removal of skin and fat from the abdomen, lateral hips, and buttocks. I do see on your frontal picture that there is an abdominal incision indicating that at least an abdominoplasty was performed. In addition, you mentioned a 15 pound weight loss after your body lift surgery. Since you did not include your before body lift pictures, it is difficult to determine if your excess love handle fat is due to "inadequate" surgery or your 15 pound weight loss after your lower body lift. You just have excess love handle fat, this should be amenable to liposuction. Specifically, I would suggest VASER liposuction because it will heat the skin and cause better skin contracture than traditional liposuction. If you have excess skin and fat in the love handle region, then I would suggest a revision of your 360 circumferential lower body lift. Either way, please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of body lifts. If you have any more questions regarding a 360 circumferential lower body lift revision, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Body lift I do not see a scar across your upper buttock area. A formal body lift also takes away skin from your hips and lower back area to tighten this up as well. It will give you a better contour result.
