This 34 year old woman lost 180 pounds after undergoing bariatric surgery. She had loose skin of the abdomen and lateral hip areas. She wanted this excess skin and fat removed and a lift of her upper thigh region. She underwent an extended abdominoplasty where the incision goes partway to the back and closure was done with tension to elevate the lateral thighs and hip areas. She was very happy with the improvements a. This allowed her to wear more tight fitting clothing and she was less self conscious about her appearance. Body lift can be achieved with a circumferential incision ( all the way around) or extended technique-Each patient has to be individualized based on their anatomy and desires. This patients buttock was not very saggy so she didn't need a full lift to achieve her desired outcome
