Upper Body Lift Surgery
When a person loses a significant amount of weight through gastric bypass, lap band surgery, post-pregnancy, or diet and exercise, they can be left with an abundance of excess skin that cannot possibly conform to their body's new contours. The loose skin makes it difficult to feel confident, fit into clothing, and it may get in the way of maintaining personal hygiene and cause rashes and skin infections. In this case, a body lift will remove excess skin, help to repair and adjust the contour of underlying tissues, and remove any excess fat that may remain. While this surgical procedure can be applied to the entire body, it may be limited to the arms, breasts, chest, and middle back (upper body lift). Upper-body-lift surgery may consist of one or several procedures, including an upper arm lift, breast lift (or gynecomastia), or surgery to remove fat rolls along the back. Loose, sagging skin resulting from dramatic weight loss or after liposuction is removed to create a tighter and smoother contour, improving your profile and leading to renewed self-confidence.
