Completion Body Lift for a 39-Year-Old Male Patient: Addressing Residual Skin Laxity After Weight Loss

This 39-year-old male patient from Houston previously underwent skin reduction surgery following a significant weight loss. While the initial procedure helped flatten his abdomen, it left behind excess skin and stubborn fat along the obliques, waist, and lower back—areas that had not been addressed during his first surgery. He came to Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery seeking a more complete and balanced contour that would reflect the full extent of his weight loss success.

Dr. Ravi recommended a completion body lift to target the remaining areas of concern. The surgical plan included:

● Circumferential skin and tissue removal of the waist, flanks, and lower back

● Liposuction to the waist and flanks for improved contour and definition

● Refinement of the lower back and oblique areas to create a smoother, more athletic silhouette

The procedure helped eliminate loose skin and residual fat, particularly on the sides and lower back, which were not addressed in his previous surgery. By tailoring the approach to his anatomy and goals, Dr. Ravi was able to deliver a more complete transformation, restoring balance to the patient’s midsection.

This case highlights how a completion body lift can be the final step in achieving a cohesive, confident result after weight loss—especially for patients who have already undergone partial skin removal and are ready to address the full circumference of their torso.
