What Is Upper Body Lift?

Substantial weight loss can bring about numerous benefits in your life, but it may also result in some adverse side effects, such as excess skin that remains even after the weight loss. This sagging skin can be frustrating for patients, causing hygiene issues, uncomfortable chafing, difficulty fitting into clothing, and the need to adjust skin during everyday activities.

Upper body lift surgery addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and sculpting the area to enhance the body’s aesthetic appearance. This procedure not only improves physical discomfort but also restores lost confidence and self-esteem.

Upper Body Lift Procedure

The specific procedure for an upper body lift varies significantly based on individual patient needs. Typically, it commences with an arm lift, involving an incision along the inner aspect of the arm. The extent of the incision, ranging from the elbow to the underarm, depends on the amount of excess skin removal required during your body lift in Traverse City. Additional incisions are made around the areolas and along the crease beneath the breasts for a breast lift, and near the bra line for a back lift.

Excess skin is excised through these incisions, and the underlying tissue is reshaped. The remaining skin is tightened by pulling it, followed by closure of the incisions, sometimes with the insertion of drains.
