This 53 year-old woman was 2 years out from a laparoscopic gastric bypass. She had lost 105 lbs over that time period. Her presenting weight was 179 lbs, a BMI of 30. She had several areas she wished to address including her facial sagging, legs and thighs, the abdomen, and her lack of breast volume and shape. Given the multiple areas involved, we addressed this in a staged process. She had an abdominoplasty and medial thigh lift for the initial procedure. Eight days later (I would now suggest waiting longer between stages), she had bilateral brachioplasty and a breast lift with augmentation(enlargement). Then implants were 350 cc for each side. We completed the “makeover” with a facelift, browlift, and upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid lift). Her only complication was from her inner thigh lift. She had a small fluid collection drained in the operating room (during her facelift procedure) and it did require local wound care to heal. No scar revision would be needed.
