LOWER BODY LIFT

←BACK TO BODY LIFT CASE STUDIES

CASE OVERVIEW

After a 300 plus pound weight loss, this patient went from a size 28 to a size 4, but her weight loss victory left her with a lot of excess skin. It was hard fought battle every day, sometimes twice a day in the gym to shed the pounds and change a mindset that started in the third grade. “I remember being in Girl Scouts and eating all my cookies that I was supposed to sell, then hiding the containers so no one would know.” When she was finally ready to consider surgery, she spoke to five other plastic surgeons in the Newport Beach area before discovering Dr. Anton online. “He was so down to earth. He understood what I wanted and told me what was realistic. I appreciated that he took the time to explain his thought process and surgical plan.”

PRIMARY CONCERNS

This patient had a long history of being overweight. It finally reached a turning point when a friend asked her to be in her wedding, but the only way she would consider it was if she lost weight first. “My friend forced me to go to the gym with her, to a personal trainer. Then I got hooked.” It took a lot of years for her to reach her goal weight and a few more to consider surgery to remove the excess skin in her abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. After meeting Dr. Anton, she knew she had the right surgeon. “I loved his heart. He made me feel comfortable with my body and what he could do for me.”

CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT

When she first met with Dr. Anton for her Lower Body Lift consultation, he took the time to thoroughly explain every step of his surgical process, ensuring she felt informed and comfortable. From the outset, Dr. Anton was clear about setting realistic expectations, helping her understand that achieving the best possible results might require multiple procedures. Her journey began with a breast lift and tummy tuck, which they decided to focus on first. Thrilled with the outcome, she gained such confidence that she felt ready to continue her transformation. In her next consultation, they discussed addressing the sagging in her thighs and buttocks, and Dr. Anton recommended a Lower Body Lift. She decided to combine this with an arm lift in the same surgery to complete her look. Dr. Anton’s openness and commitment to providing clear guidance allowed her to feel confident and well-supported throughout her journey.

“I feel good about myself now. I love to get dressed up. I feel like I can do anything!”

TREATMENT PLAN

– Lower Body Lift

– Arm Lift

– Triple Tummy Tuck

A Lower Body Lift is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgery center. Before surgery, Dr. Anton marks areas on the skin in both sitting and standing positions to guide where incisions will be made. During a Lower Body Lift, the patient is placed prone on the operating table as the surgeon makes incisions along the lower body, particularly around the flanks and abdomen, often in a V-shape. Excess skin and tissue are removed from the targeted areas, while taking care to keep important blood vessels intact. The skin and fat are adjusted, releasing and lifting the tissue to achieve a lifted, tightened look. The surgeon repositions and secures these tissues then closes the incisions with sutures. No drains were required post-operatively. After completing the Lower Body Lift, Dr. Anton performed an arm lift to remove excess skin and tighten the upper arms.

PATIENT RESULTS

HOW DO YOU FEEL AFTER YOUR LOWER BODY LIFT PROCEDURE?

Seeing her surgery results gave her a new wave of inspiration to reach her ultimate weight loss goals. “I lost more weight because I liked what I saw. My clothes were fitting so much better, and it motivated me to reach my goal.” After recovering, she returned to the gym and eventually lost another 40 pounds. Reflecting on her journey, she remembers how people used to stare at her in the grocery store, and even her son faced teasing about her weight. Now, those same glances are filled with admiration. “Now, they stare at me because I look so good!”
