Patient Details
This 28-year-old female presented to Dr. Siamak Agha from Washington DC for plastic surgery after weight loss. The patient had lost over 150 pounds through gastric sleeve surgery, diet, and exercise. The patient was unhappy with the significant laxity of her skin and loose tissue and wished to undergo a Lower Body Lift.
Upon examination, Dr. Agha noted that the patient had a significant amount of skin laxity on her abdomen, pubic area, and thighs. She also had fullness in her flanks and lower back and a boxy buttock shape.
Dr. Agha performed a Lower Body Lift to address the patient’s abdomen, back, thighs, and buttocks. He performed liposuction on the patient’s waist, thighs and lower back to remove the visible bulges of fat and harvesting fat to be transferred into patient’s deflated buttocks. Then, he began a buttock lift procedure. He made an incision along the top of the patient’s buttocks where it would be easily concealed by an underwear or a bikini. Through this incision, he used the excess lower back fat to augment the buttocks with. Since this fat pad comes with its own blood supply, it does not resorb and is a permanent augmentation.
