3-MONTH FOLLOW-UP TRANSCRIPT:

So today I'm seeing one of our patients. She's flown back for a follow-up after a lower body lift that was done about three months ago that included a tummy tuck revision, pubic lift, anterior thigh and outer thigh lift, buttock reshaping, lower back skin excision, and a buttock lift. And she's healing perfectly and looking amazing. Just look at her incisions. In the back, we did a buttock lift and buttock reshaping and fat transfer to the buttocks. And you can see how fabulous she looks. What do you think? I love it.

Surgery Plan

SURGERY PLAN TRANSCRIPT:

So today we are going to do a lower body lift. Our patient has previously had a tummy tuck, and during the lower body lift, we actually have to cut that incision out and revise her tummy tuck incision. So this is her tummy tuck incision. She has dog ears at the end of the incision, and we'll also be removing those.

So the plan of surgery will actually start on her back. Let me rotate you, sweetheart. Keep on rotating. Put your arms in the front.

So on the back, we're going to be using her lower back and upper buttock fullness, this fatty area, to actually augment her buttocks. She has a lot of dimples of the lower buttocks that will be corrected with the flap augmentation of the buttock.

The flap is a fatty segment of the lower back and the upper buttocks that we're going to use and rotate to augment her upper buttocks. And we'll also be liposuctioning her to some degree and transferring that fat into the lower buttocks.

We'll also be tightening and lifting the buttocks, so that will help. The three approaches will help us with softening a lot of the cellulite, hopefully all of it.

As we rotate her to the front, we'll be completing our outer thigh lift. You see, we're going to be removing all of this and bringing it together. She's going to have gorgeous heart-shaped buttocks, and then we'll be bringing the incision forward, elevating the front of her thighs, and then revising her tummy tuck incision. There we go.

Surgery Result - Back

TRANSCRIPT

So you're looking at our beautifully lifted and augmented buttocks. Our patient wanted a voluptuous butt, and that's what we aimed to create. I removed lower back skin with upper buttock skin and then used lower back fat pads as flaps. That means they come with their own blood supply to augment the buttocks, and then we also liposuctioned and transferred fat into her buttocks. In doing so, we were able to create a nice, round, fuller buttock with roundness vertically, meaning this way and this way. So there you go. She's got a heart shape. She's got a round shape.

Surgery Result - Front

TRANSCRIPT

So you're looking at the final results of our lower body lift. On the front, we did a pubic lift, thigh front lift or anterior thigh lift, and tummy tuck scar revision. Our patient had had a tummy tuck only a few years ago, and she had a nice repair of her abdominal muscle, so we didn't actually have to do that portion. But we cut any remaining lower abdominal skin and upper thigh front skin and lifted those and brought them together. And you're looking at the end results of that surgery. So she's going to have nice, tight thighs, and we also did liposuction of her waist to bring her waistline in. There we go.
