TRANSCRIPT

Happy Monday, everyone. Happy New Year. We're starting 2022 with one of my favorite procedures, which is a body lift. I love this procedure more than anything else because, A, I've done hundreds of them, almost 500, including the revisions as we just looked at the numbers recently. So I'm going to actually be writing a paper on that soon. And also because this procedure gives you such a tremendous transformation when it's done properly, correctly and every aspect of it is done. So today we're going to be starting with our patient's back but she doesn't really want to share her back with you so I'm going to show you her sides and then her front and that's kind of her decision and we're going to obviously respect that. On the front, what you'll notice is that our incision is super low. We're actually in the pubic area. We're going to be removing about two inches of pubic hair and skin so I can do a nice pubic lift for her. You see how the pubic area is kind of bunching on itself? And we can see the sides. Then we're going to go on the front of the thighs, do a front of thigh lift. And we're going to cut more than the average or standard tummy tuck. The standard tummy tuck, Cuts around here and removes this. We know that we have more skin, so I'm actually probably gonna go about an inch or two inches higher, cutting more skin, two inches above the navel, two inches below. And the standard tummy tuck. So if you compare this with standard work, we're gonna be removing about four inches more of abdominal and front skin. Four inches is a lot, you know? That makes a difference between an okay result and a great result. And then when we come to the sides, We're going to be removing about nine inches of skin from the waist and the outer thighs and I won't show you all of the back and on the back we're going to do a buttock lift and buttock enhancement with her own tissues. So my standard body lift whereby you get buttock enhancement, buttock lift, buttock fat transfer, buttock augmentation with lower back fat pads, outer thigh lift, waist reduction, thigh front lift, abdominoplasty with muscle tightening, and a pelvic lift.

Surgery Results - Back

TRANSCRIPT

So we are finished with the buttock enhancement and buttock lift part of the lower body lift on her back. As you can appreciate, she's got a very nicely rounded and lifted buttocks. And this is the top view. Her incisions are perfectly symmetrical. We placed about 660 ccs of fat into the lower buttocks, and I augmented the upper buttocks that appear to be slightly fuller right now because of swelling and inflammation with her lower back fat pads. But as these settle, she's gonna have a beautifully augmented and rounded and smooth buttock shape.

Surgery Results - Front

TRANSCRIPT

First surgery of the year and our first lower body lift of 2022. And just look how phenomenal our patient looks. Beautifully sculpted, high definition abdominoplasty. Look at the front of her thighs lifted. We removed two inches of pubic skin and hair, and we cut two inches above her navel. So she got four inches of additional skin cut compared or relative to the standard tummy tuck. So a lot more skin removed, and in the process, we defined her. She's just gonna look phenomenal. Excited to see her heal. Okay
