How an Upper Body Lift Redefines Your Silhouette

An upper body lift is a transformative surgery designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lateral chest and back. It is particularly effective after significant weight loss or when skin elasticity diminishes with age. By tightening supportive tissues, the procedure enhances comfort and creates a smoother, natural-looking contour. An upper body lift addresses:

Sagging skin on on lateral chest or upper back
Tissue laxity after major weight loss
Discomfort from excess skin or poor clothing fit
Desire for balanced, proportionate upper body contours

Is an Upper Body Lift the Right Choice for You?

Candidates are typically in good overall health, nonsmokers, and have significant skin laxity after major weight loss or aging. During consultation, your surgeon will assess your medical history and goals to determine if this procedure can safely deliver the results you’re seeking.

The Path From Surgery to Lasting Results

Recovery involves swelling and soreness for the first one to two weeks, with most patients resuming light activity in that time. Compression garments support healing, and scars fade over time. Final results emerge gradually over several months, revealing smoother, more youthful contours.
