Description

A female patient in her late 60s from the United States underwent a body lift after maintaining a weight loss of 120 lb. Following multiple past procedures, including gastric sleeve and orthopedic surgeries, she pursued this transformation to improve her appearance after massive weight loss. The surgical plan included a lipectomy with fleur-de-lis pattern, reverse abdominoplasty, and torsoplasty to remove excess skin, restore contour, and enhance definition across the trunk and upper body. The patient presented with laxity and volume deflation in the breasts, abdomen, arms, and thighs. The procedure addressed key concerns while maintaining harmony and functionality. Results show a more defined waistline and improved upper body silhouette.
