Thigh Lift and Body Lift Combo Improves Tummy , Back and Thighs, Raleigh, NC

This patient's weight loss journey has been going on for just over 10 years.  She had a initial bariatric procedure in 2013 that had to have a revision to a Roux-en-Y a few years later.  She was able to lose about 80 pounds Additional weight came off with tirzepatide (Monjauro®) Which helped her lose an additional 20 pounds- so after 10 years she lost 100 pounds and  still had a large abdominal pannus and loose tissue and sagging of her buttock and thigh.  She sought the help of Dr. Glenn Lyle at  Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center in Raleigh North Carolina.  Her health was otherwise reasonably good, and her body mass index was 26.6.  She underwent a circumferential abdominoplasty ( lower body lift)  with her upper medial thigh lift to address just her upper inner thigh as her lower thighs were not a concern of hers.  She was very pleased with the results and now plans to have some additional surgery including liposuction and additional fat transfer to her buttock.

Benefits of lower body lift include:

1. Elimination of abdominal pannus

2. Elevation of buttocks and reduction of sagging

3. Improvement in outer thigh, anterior thigh or saddlebags

4. Slimming of waist

5. Significant weight reduction-although body contouring is not designed to achieve a target weight goal, the amount of tissue removed in this procedure can exceed 10 pounds in some cases.
