Lower Body Lift

This 47-year-old woman was 5 feet 8 inches tall and 120 pounds after losing 115 pounds with gastric bypass surgery. She had a previous tummy tuck operation but was unsatisfied with the way she looked after her weight loss. I performed a complete lower body lift in New York City and removed all of her old scars in the process.
