Upper Body Lift

Is An Upper Body Lift Right For You?

Despite its successful results, weight loss surgery can sometimes lead to some unappealing side effects. Patients who have undergone bariatric surgery are experiencing a new kind of problem: significant amounts of excess skin that hangs down from their body. It’s unfortunate that even after the success of weight loss surgery, these patients are left with body image issues, emotional duress, and even problems maintaining hygiene thanks to the difficulty of cleaning excess skin folds.

These changes can be found in areas like the chest, upper arm, and even facial areas. For the issues concentrated on the upper body, a procedure called an upper body lift can remove excess skin while lifting and contouring the body into a sleeker, more athletic figure.

Who Is A Candidate for Upper Body Lift?

Ideal candidates include patients who recently lost an extreme amount of weight (either from weight loss or from bariatric surgery) and have sagging skin on their upper bodies. Patients that developed stretched-out skin following childbirth are also considered appropriate candidates for this procedure.
