Lower Body Lift after 110-pound weight loss by Dr. Hasen

This 63-year-old woman pursued a body lift after losing 110 pounds. Despite her significant weight loss, she experienced challenges with excess, hanging abdominal skin. This skin made it difficult for her to find clothing that fit comfortably. The patient’s surgical goal was to improve her body contour and increase her confidence in daily life.

She underwent a circumferential lower-body lift using progressive-tension sutures. This advanced technique helped minimize tension at the incision site and reduced the risk of fluid accumulation, resulting in a shorter time with surgical drains. The approach supported a smoother recovery and helped achieve a more natural contour.
