A. Not At Ideal Body Weight
The first subgroup consists of patients who have lost significant weight but reached a plateau far from their ideal body weight. Improvement in this patient group is remarkable but the final results are not ideal body contours (see Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9, and Figure 10).

Figure 5. This composite photo is of a patient who had a belt lipectomy after significant weight loss. (The upper three pictures are of the patient prior to surgery and the lower three pictures are of the same patient after surgery.) This patient belongs to the subgroup of patients that have lost a significant amount of weight but are still not at their ideal body weight. Although the resulting body contour is not perfectly ideal, there is a remarkable and significant improvement in the areas of the belly, pubic region, hips, back, and buttocks, which brings the patient to the range of normal body contour.
