Procedure Details

This is a 35yr old woman, who had gastric bypass surgery, resulting in weight loss of 145lbs. During the consultation, a few options were addressed with the patient. She had a transverse scar on her abdomen that restricts the amount of undermining that can be done during the procedure. Also, she was advised to lose more weight. After a few months, patient returned to the office unable to achieve the weight loss goal, stating the excess skin and fat, hanging below the pubic area, made it difficult to exercise and function in day to day activities. Patient decided to proceed with the bodylift.
