Overview
A back lift, performed by the experienced hands of Dr. Erick Sanchez, is a body contouring surgery aimed at removing excess skin that tends to hang and form wrinkles on the upper back area. This transformative procedure specifically targets individuals, both men and women, who struggle with stubborn sagging skin and fatty tissue on their back that cannot be effectively addressed through diet and exercise alone. By skillfully reshaping and tightening the skin, the back lift procedure can effectively alter the appearance of the bra roll on the upper back as well as address flabby skin on the underside of the arms.
Ideal Candidates for a Back Lift
The best candidates for back lift procedures are individuals with noticeable sagging skin and fatty tissue on their upper back, resistant to traditional methods of weight loss. This surgery is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss of 100 pounds or more, as it can help achieve a more proportionate and contoured upper body appearance. Dr. Erick Sanchez and his expert team at Erick Sanchez, MD Plastic Surgery are committed to evaluating each patient’s unique needs and determining their eligibility for a back lift procedure.
What to Expect
During the initial consultation, Dr. Erick Sanchez will assess your upper and lower back and discuss the body contouring techniques that will be used to create a tailored procedure that meets the patient goals. Liposuction is almost always used to eliminate excess fat and tissue.
After the Surgery
A back lift is an outpatient procedure, and our patients return home the same day. A total of two weeks off from work is recommended to recover from the surgery. Exercise can gradually be resumed four weeks after the procedure.
