Body Lift Before & After Case 1007

Dr. David Stoker, Board-Certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, with a dramatic example of a body lift procedure on a 45-year old mother of two. You'll see that her bottom is very wrinkly. Above her waistline, you have a high scar, approximately three inches above, where she would wear her bathing suit, which another surgeon performed. 

This particular case highlights what Dr. David Stoker does in his practice, specializing in dramatic body contouring procedures, where it will make an enormous difference for a patient. These procedures are very challenging, and there will be a lot of skin moving in different directions. What may be obvious to you is that scar is awfully high, that the previous surgeon used to perform her tummy tuck, thigh lift, and lateral buttocks lift, so he had several challenges here. First, he wanted to lower that scar down so that she could wear a bathing suit or wear low-cut jeans and not have a large scar sticking out, which is tough to do after another surgery. The second big challenge is to smooth out her bottom, which wasn't smooth out very much from the previous surgery. We had to work in a scar plane that's even more difficult to accomplish a goal. But for Dr. Stoker, that's just plain fun because it allows him to use all of the knowledge and wisdom that he has accumulated. 

Dr. David Stoker has done huge difficult cases for about 25 years with satisfying outcomes. He tailored his approach to a challenging problem like this and ended up with a gorgeous outcome that he is very proud of. Even more importantly, the patient loves it. Dr. Stoker lowered the scar to an ideal level. He's got a dramatic improvement in the contour of her bottom. Look at how the cellulite is resolved. The folds are improved.
