Patients are getting more in shape these days. Whether it is with diet and exercise, weight loss surgery, or medications such as Ozempic and Wygovy. After weight loss patients have excess skin that can be bothersome or can serve as a reminder of their previous health state. Patients can undergo surgery to remove the excess skin that accumulates on the anterior or posterior trunk.
The photograph demonstrates before and after anterior and posterior body lift and mastopexy/reduction after a 150 lbs. weight loss. The satisfaction rate after weight loss surgery is extremely high. It is important for patients to have a diet high in protein to facilitate healing post surgery. The photograph demonstrates early post-operative incisions approximately three weeks after surgery.
