Jennifer's Story
Jennifer had always been troubled by her weight. Since she could remember, she had been considered to be “chubby”, but since high school she had put on and extra 150 pounds! One day, at age 22, she decided to do something about this. She joined a gym and began to follow a healthy, but strict diet. Soon she began to shed the pounds. I met her about 6 months before the date of her surgical procedure. She was interested in improving the appearance of the tummy and thighs.
Jennifer had always been pear-shaped “like my mother,” she remarked. She stated that she was happy with the weight loss, but was disappointed with the amount of skin excess and sagginess she experienced. She said, “I definitely did not expect this.”
We waited until her summer break from college and proceeded with a lower body lift and inner thigh reduction. This was accomplished as a single stage procedure at a local hospital. She only spent one night there and went home the next day. She made a remarkable recovery and has been very happy with the results of her surgery. She feels she can now truly enjoy all the benefits of weight loss and continues to be a role model for other patients seeking to look and feel better after massive weight loss. |
