A back lift is an excellent option for patients dealing with sagging skin and excess fat on the upper or lower back. Ideal candidates for this procedure include:
Patients with ongoing weight fluctuations or certain medical conditions may not be ideal candidates. During your initial consultation, Dr. White will review your health and goals to ensure the procedure is right for you.
During your consultation at ARC Plastic Surgery, Dr. White will assess your goals and explain the back lift procedure in detail. The consultation includes a physical examination to determine the extent of skin laxity and the best surgical approach. Patients are encouraged to discuss any medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors that could affect the outcome. To prepare for surgery, Dr. White may recommend:
A back lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours. Dr. White carefully makes incisions along the bra line or lower back, depending on the area being treated. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a smooth, contoured appearance. The incisions are placed strategically to minimize visible scarring and ensure the best possible aesthetic result.
Once the procedure is complete, sutures are used to close the incisions, and compression garments are applied to reduce swelling and support healing.
Patients notice immediate improvements in the shape and contour of their back following surgery. The full results become more visible as swelling reduces over the next few weeks. The removal of sagging skin and back rolls reveals a smoother, more toned upper body, helping patients feel confident in tighter clothing and bathing suits. With proper care, the results of a back lift are long-lasting, allowing patients to enjoy their refined look for years to come.
Most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks. Strenuous physical activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four to six weeks to allow the body to heal fully.
Wearing compression garments, as instructed by Dr. White, is essential to reduce swelling and support the healing process. Patients are advised to avoid sleeping on their back during the early recovery period and to keep the incision sites clean and protected. By following Dr. White’s post-surgery instructions carefully, patients can achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
