ONE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP TRANSCRIPT:

So we are looking at one of my patients. She is a year after a lower body lift, and I wanted you guys to see her beautiful results. And let's look at the scars in the front. May I? Yes. Okay, I'm going to pull this just a tad lower. So this is her front incision. Come closer, if you may.

And you can see how perfectly she's healed, how beautiful that scar is after a year. And I promise you, her back scar is just as good. Okay, well, let's show them.

Okay, so the number one thing to notice is how perfectly these scars are placed, so she can wear this thong and completely hide her incisions. In a bikini, obviously, her incisions are completely hidden, but... Oh, let's put it that way. There you go.

So what were you telling me about your backside a minute ago? I love it. I've never had a rear. I now have a rear, and I love it. I have the curve in my back. I love everything about it. I never had one my entire life, but now I do. Now you do. Beautiful.

You look amazing. You feel amazing. I'm super happy for you, and I'm glad that you've done this procedure with us. What do you think about... And we're talking about how wonderful these procedures are in terms of changing the quality of your life.

Absolutely. I feel much better in my skin. Like I said, now I'm trying to move up for other things, but yes, I'm super happy with it. I love it. I love my silhouette. I love it. Yeah. And we'll make it better. I'm always happy with your results. Thank you.

SURGERY PLAN TRANSCRIPT:

Today our plan of surgery is slightly different than our normal body lift. Our patient has previously had a tummy tuck, and she's very happy with her tummy tuck results, and therefore we are just going to help her to get her outer thighs and buttock areas lifted. So go ahead and cover yourself with these, sweetheart.

So the plan of surgery would be to put a low-cut incision in the front, but in the back it's a buttock lift incision. So this is the incision for the upper... I'm sorry, this is our upper buttock lift incision. This is the lower buttock lift incision, and we're going to take this and bring it up here. And with that, you do get a little bit of flattening of the buttocks. And then we're going to go all the way around, complete the buttock lift.

And then what really kind of makes her not super happy with her lower half is her thighs. And we're going to do an outer thigh lift. And here I'm removing about four to five inches, and actually at the time of surgery, probably will remove a little bit more than this. These are always my conservative markings. At the time of surgery, I may deviate by about half an inch or more if I can.

So we're going to be cutting all of this tissue. It's going to be skin and about half an inch of fat underneath the skin will be removed all the way. As a result of which, she's going to get a buttock lift and then outer thigh lift.

And on the front, if you cover your breasts for me. On the front, as we rotate her, we're going to do an outer thigh lift with which she will get waist reduction. This is her previous tummy tuck incision. That's going to get cut out like that. And then as we come to the front, we'll terminate her incisions where her tummy tuck incisions were previously. Very nice incisions.

So we're going to bring these together, and that is going to correct some of the laxity of the thigh fronts. Obviously, when you do an outer thigh lift, you can't just finish the incision here. You have to take the incision forward and remove the excess tissue. And by virtue of doing that, she's going to get some improvement of her thigh fronts.

So we planned this as a two-stage surgery, meaning that today we're going to do her buttock lift and outer thigh lift, and then in the future we're going to come back and do large-volume liposuction of her upper back, mid back, and lower back and actually contour and sculpt her lower back and create a nice, beautiful lower back concavity and waist concavity and use that fat to augment her buttocks.

So normally I would be doing buttock augmentation at the time of a buttock lift, but today we're going to give her a better result by doing a two-stage surgery because once you do the buttock lift and she heals, then I can do more aggressive liposuctioning. And by aggressive, I don't mean really aggressive, I mean more complete liposuctioning of her whole back and use that fat to augment her buttocks. So there you go. Let's get started.
