Patient Details
This 57-year-old female presented to Dr. Siamak Agha for a lower body lift. The patient had undergone a laser liposuction procedure with another surgeon and was left with irregularities and indentations throughout her body, especially on her abdominal area.
To address the patient’s concerns, Dr. Agha performed a lower body lift on her to remove the excess loose skin and to smoothen out the skin contour. He began the procedure by performing Liposuction on the patient’s lower back and waist to sculpt these areas and to harvest fat for later use. Then, he began the buttock lift procedure by creating an incision above the patient’s buttocks following the curves of her buttock cheeks. Through this incision, he lifted the tissue on both the buttocks and the outer thighs. Then, he performed a technique called liposhifting on the patient’s back. This technique is used to correct deformities caused by liposuction. It involves loosening the fat from its connective tissue matrix that house it so that it becomes more malleable to create a smoother appearance under the skin. Through liposhifting, Dr. Agha smoothed out the bumps and concavities on the patient’s back. He then injected a small amount of fat into the indentation in the patient’s lower back and between her buttock cheeks, creating a smoother appearance of her backside.
