If you feel your silhouette is too bulky and you want a leaner and more toned look, then an upper body lift is the option for you. This procedure involves several surgeries, such as an arm lift and breast lift, which remove excess skin and fat to provide a smoother contour for the upper body. In cases of significant weight loss, excess back rolls may also be disturbing, and depending on their size, might need to be removed surgically.
Procedure
Upper body lift involves removing excess skin and tissue from the upper body and improving the shape of the breasts both in men and women. Arm lifts involve removing or correcting the arms’ excess skin, typically after massive weight loss. The patients that seek such procedures have lost substantial amount of weight, which has left them with saggy arms, saggy breasts and back and side rolls.
LENGTH
Between 2-6 hours.
INPATIENT/OUTPATIENT
Inpatient.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Although scars are visible, they are placed in areas that can be hidden by a bra or clothing. Removing substantial amounts of skin will always result in a scar.
RISKS
Scars can be unsightly and/or open, wounds can become infected, as well as recurrence of sagginess and/or mild asymmetry of the breasts.
RECOVERY
Recovery takes few weeks.
RESULTS
Results are usually drastic and result in improved self-confidence and patient mobility.
