Body Lift Case #6058

This is a 25-year-old African American woman from Los Angeles, California. These are her before and after Body Lift surgery pictures taken a few weeks after her procedure. As a young adult she struggled with yo-yo dieting that didn’t seem to show any results she desired. She has previous had a bariatric procedure to reduce the size of her stomach, that allowed her to eat less and lose weight rapidly. Within a year she lost all her weight and was left with pounds of loose skin on her abdomen, arms, and thighs. Although, losing weight made her thinner, she still was very unhappy with how she looks while undressed. Her goal was to complete her weight loss journey and remove all her skin folds and undergo a body lift procedure. A body lift procedure improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Excess sagging fat and skin are removed to treat conditions caused in part by poor tissue elasticity. In addition, the body lift surgery can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface such as cellulite. Her surgeon, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Younai preformed a Body Lift in combination with Liposuction of Flanks, Lower back, inner and outer thighs. During her surgery, he extends a circumferential incision around her lower waist, similar to a belt. All the lose skin fold are excised around the midsection and removed. Then the skin closure is tailored to enhance the patients figure. This patient’s body lift recovery was approximately 3-4 weeks, and her incision was mostly healed by 6 weeks. As you can see, after her body lift procedure she has the most dramatic transformation. Her abdomen is smooth and tight and there is no sign of any skin fold. Her thighs and buttocks are also lifted and firm. This patient raves about Dr. Younai and his gift of making dreams come true. She says Dr. Younai did a wonderful job and she felt well taken care of during the first day of her consultation to the last date of her follow-up visits. She recommends Dr. Younai and Regency Surgery Center to anyone looking to have body lift after bariatric surgery.
