Upper Body Lift Surgery in San Antonio, TX
Amelia San Antonio Specializes in Upper Body Lift Surgery.
An upper body lift in San Antonio, TX, commonly referred to as a back lift or bra line lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure focused on removing loose skin and excess fat from the upper back and sides of the body.
Upper body lift procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or genetic factors that contribute to sagging skin in these areas.
At Amelia San Antonio, Dr. Marcos Lopez is dedicated to customizing each procedure to align with the unique aesthetic goals of our patients.
The primary purpose of an upper body lift in San Antonio, TX, is to enhance the contours of the upper back and improve overall body proportions, effectively reducing the appearance of a "bra bulge."
The procedure typically involves making incisions along the bra line, which allows for the removal of excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying tissue. Depending on the specific needs of the patient, various techniques may be employed, including targeted liposuction and skin excision.
Recovery from an upper body lift usually takes about 10-14 days, during which patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for approximately 6 weeks. Many individuals begin to see improvements shortly after the procedure, with the results becoming more apparent around 12 months post-surgery.
If you are considering an upper body lift in San Antonio, TX, book your in-person or virtual consultation at Amelia Aesthetics to discuss your options and develop a customized treatment plan.
Who is a candidate for an upper body lift?
Patients who are good candidates for an upper body lift often have loose or sagging skin across the mid and upper back after weight loss or just over time.
Excess skin and soft tissue along the upper back or bra-line region are common after significant weight loss.
An upper body lift is designed to address these concerns by removing redundant skin and improving back contour.
What do upper body lift scars look like?
The back incision is generally placed horizontally across the upper back, following the natural bra line for concealment.
This allows for effective removal of loose skin and fat while keeping the scar discreetly positioned.
