A back lift describes a treatment that contours the upper or lower back. A back lift removes excess skin and subcutaneous fat, smooths the contours, and lifts the skin for a tighter appearance. An upper back lift can treat wrinkles and fat deposits on the skin of the mid-back that may extend to the sides or upper abdomen. An upper back lift is often combined with a breast or upper (reverse) tummy tuck. The resulting scar is a thin, unobtrusive line that falls within the bra line. Upper back lifting results are also enhanced with arm lift.
WHAT IS A BACK LIFT?
A back lift describes a treatment to contour the upper or lower back. A back lift removes excess skin and underlying fat, smooths the contours, and lifts the skin for a tighter, firmer aesthetic.
An upper back lift addresses folds and fat accumulations of the skin of the mid to upper back that may continue to the sides or upper abdomen. Upper back lift surgery is often combined with a breast lift or upper (reverse) abdominoplasty. The resulting scar is a thin, unobtrusive line that falls within the bra line. Upper back lift results are also seen with Dr. Shermak’s extended arm lift, which involves the removal of tissue along the side of the breast and secondarily reduces excess skin in the upper back.
A lower back lift is a powerful surgery often performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck, thigh lift, and/or liposuction of the outer thighs. It not only removes excess skin in the lower back, but also lifts the outer thighs and buttocks and reduces the torso. Again, this scar is a thin line that is unobtrusively hidden under the fabric of underwear and swimsuits.
A lower back lift is a powerful surgery that is often performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck, thigh lift and/or liposuction on the outside of the thighs. It not only removes excess skin in the lower back, but also lifts the outside of the thighs and buttocks and reduces the torso. Again, this scar is a thin line that is inconspicuously hidden under the fabric of underwear and swimsuits.
The price of a back lift varies from patient to patient. Patient needs are also one of the factors that affect the price. Contact us for more details on prices.
