Lockwood lower body lift?

Anyone have this?  One of the PS I met with does this method.  The other 2 do the circumferential lift/belt lipectomy/what we usually refer to here as the LBL.

I did a bit of research into it, but thought I'd ask if anyone here knows much about it or has had this type of LBL.

Thanks!

I'm not sure where he trained.  He actually says he does the TT portion first (with breasts if desired) and then goes back in and does the rest of the lockwood LBL in a second stage.

There wasn't much time difference between them mentioned.

Thanks for the info.  I'm not going with the lockwood guy due to some other things I didn't like, but he got me thinking about the type of LBL I should be looking at.

A true "Lockwood Technique" is not an operation designed for bariatric patients, and if you look at Dr. Lockwood's pictures you can see he was clearly operating on a different population of patient's.  A lot of the concepts he talked about just do not translate into patients with as much skin/bulk as the "average" MWL patient. Patient's at the more normal appearing end of the spectum of patients would potentially be applicable for Lockwood style surgery. Lockwood's influence in today's procedure is more about the idea of deep tissue suspension (aka the "superficial fascia system")  with suture to prolong results and on the marking and planning circumferential incisions. In my opinion, if you try to adapt the Lockwood method to weight loss patients you end up removing much less tissue then desirable (due to the idea that he was using a lot of liposuction to redrape rather then removing skin)

The modern belt-lipectomy and body lift on the massive weight loss patient comes more from the writings and work of Drs. Al Aly (Irvine,CA), Jeff Kenkel (Dallas), and Jeff Hurowitz (Pittsburgh). IF you follow the evolution of these procedures of the last 15 years we've gone to bolder and longer incisions to address the skin excess that just doesn't do well with shorter scar/traditional operations.

Dr. Oliver makes some good points.  I was fortunate enough to attend some of Dr Lockwoods seminars and while he added much to our understanding of the body lift procedure, the procedure was not designed for weight loss patients.  The inner thigh lift he described actually has been largely abandoned due to distortion of the pubic area it can cause.

His main principles, though, are in use by most of us who are dedicated to poast weight loss plastic surgery.

My point would be to look for an experienced surgeon who can specifically adress your problem areas (and show photos of that correction) rather than one who does any specific or named technique.
