Lift and Transform: The Upper Body Solution

What Is Upper Body Lift?

Significant weight loss can offer many advantages, but it may also lead to challenges like excess skin that persists despite the loss. This sagging skin can be frustrating for individuals, leading to hygiene issues, uncomfortable chafing, difficulties with clothing fit, and the need to manage loose skin during daily activities.

An upper body lift surgery effectively addresses these issues by eliminating excess skin and sculpting the area to enhance the body’s overall aesthetic. This procedure not only alleviates physical discomfort but also helps restore lost confidence and boost self-esteem.

Upper Body Lift Procedure

The specific approach for an upper body lift can vary significantly according to each patient’s unique needs. Typically, the procedure begins with an arm lift, which involves an incision along the inner arm. The length of this incision, which can extend from the elbow to the underarm, is determined by the amount of excess skin that needs to be removed during your body lift. We offer consultation for upper body lift in our Petoskey office for convenience; however, the procedure itself is performed in Traverse City at the Copper Ridge Surgery Center under general anesthesia.

For a breast lift, additional incisions are made around the areolas and along the crease beneath the breasts, while incisions near the bra line are used for a back lift.

Excess skin is removed through these incisions, and the underlying tissues are reshaped. The remaining skin is then tightened by pulling it taut, after which the incisions are closed, sometimes with drains placed to facilitate healing.
