Description:
42 year old female 5'7" weighing 220 pounds developed laxity and loose skin around her abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs and back after losing 230 pounds through a gastric bypass and diet improvement.

She underwent a lower body lift, circumferential thigh liposuction, flank and back liposuction and an upper back lift with improved body shape. These procedures were performed in a staged fashion. Over 50 pounds of excess skin were removed during these procedures. The first stage involved an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and liposuction.
