Body Lift Before & After Case 1492

This 52-year-old patient came to our office seeking a comprehensive solution for her abdominal and lower body contour concerns. After a detailed consultation and evaluation, we recommended a combination of procedures: a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and a circumferential lower body lift.

The tummy tuck focused on addressing excess abdominal skin, repairing the underlying abdominal muscles, and improving the overall shape and tone of her midsection. The circumferential lower body lift extended this contouring to the lower back, flanks, and hips, with particular attention to the “saddlebags” — areas of stubborn fat and lax skin at the outer thighs.

This combined approach provided a 360-degree enhancement, ensuring a harmonious and balanced result.

Now just two weeks post-op, the patient is recovering well and already seeing significant improvements in her body contour. The dramatic transformation in her lower body is evident, with smoother, more defined contours replacing the previously pronounced saddlebags. The abdominal area is noticeably flatter and firmer, and the overall silhouette reflects a youthful and natural look.

While she is still early in her healing journey, the progress thus far is very encouraging, and we expect continued refinement in the coming weeks and months as swelling subsides and the final results take shape.

The patient is thrilled with her early results and has expressed her excitement about how the procedures have boosted her confidence. She is following her post-operative care instructions diligently to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

This case demonstrates the transformative potential of combining a tummy tuck with a circumferential lower body lift to address multiple areas of concern simultaneously. It’s always rewarding to see such a positive outcome so early in the recovery process.
