Back Lift
A back lift, back reduction, back lipectomy, or torsoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure whose primary goal is to remove excess rolls of back skin and fat. Often, after massive weight loss, there can be an accumulation of excess back skin and fat.
Back Lift:
"Reclaim a Firm, Smooth Back with a Back Lift."
A back lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower back, creating a smoother and more toned appearance. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or natural aging, resulting in loose, sagging skin on the back. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the redundant tissue, tightens the skin, and reshapes the area to restore a more youthful, contoured back. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and recovery time varies, with most patients returning to normal activities in a few weeks.
