Body Contouring Case #6041

These are before and after Body Lift pictures of a 29-year-old Hispanic male from Los Angeles, California. He has previous had a lap band procedure to reduce the size of his stomach, that allowed him to eat less and lose weight rapidly. After losing weight he was left with skin folds; drooping chest abdomen, arms, and thighs. He was unhappy with the extra loose skin on his abdomen and chest. He did not like the size, and position of his areolas (nipples), and wore thicker clothing and extra layers to avoid exposing his chest. Men tend to add fat in the chest and stomach areas first. Weight loss can result in chest drooping, sagging, and hanging tissues that do not look masculine. For body contouring he met with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Younai in Beverly Hills. He was impressed with Dr. Younai’s wide range of specialties and body lift results. Dr. Younai recommended a circumferential body lift with male breast reduction and Lift. 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. The male breast reduction also known as Gynecomastia surgery helps bring the areola to a much more natural position and any excess loose skin is also removed. This patient’s body lift recovery was approximately 3-4 weeks, and the incision was mostly healed by 8 weeks. As you can see, after his body lift procedure he has the most dramatic transformation. The chest has taken on a male contour instead of the female look before surgery. His abdomen is smooth and tight and there is no sign of any skin folds. His thighs and buttocks are also lifted and firm through the body lift incision. He says Dr. Younai has changed his life. He recommends Dr. Younai and Regency Surgery Center to anyone looking to have body lift after bariatric surgery.
