UPPER BODY LIFT
An Upper Body Lift is a procedure (or combination of procedures) designed to remove excess skin in and around the upper body, typically just underneath the breast/chest. It is a good surgery for people after significant weight loss, such as after having bariatric surgery. This operation is aimed at removing the upper abdomen, flank, and back rolls. It is important to notice that this procedure is primarily intended to remove the skin and, secondarily, fat, although some concomitant liposuction is also commonly carried out. Scars are commonly placed along the inferior breast/chest crease and on the mid-upper back (or about the bra line on women). After an upper body lift, a compression garment is temporarily used to help the skin contract, decrease swelling and recovery time, and decrease the chances of seromas (collections of fluid). Every year, thousands of people undergo this procedure. A personal consultation will determine what is best for you.
When should you consider an Upper Body Lift?
You are uncomfortable undressed or without your shirt due to excess skin in your core body, back, and flanks. You are distressed by sagging skin in the areas mentioned above. The joy of exercising is limited by the sagging and constant swinging of the extra skin in your mid-trunk. Your self-confidence would improve from this procedure.

Something important to know regarding body contouring surgery: What should I be aware of before considering body contouring surgery?
One caveat in terms of body contouring surgeries from Dr. Rivera-Serrano is that approximately a year after surgery, it may look like there is still some loose skin in the area that was operated on. Nevertheless, this is not anywhere near the amount prior to surgery. This is extremely frequent due to skin relaxation. He always tells patients to remember how tight the area felt immediately after surgery. This was, in turn, because he always removes as much skin as technically possible and hence the tightness.
