Candidates for this procedure
The ideal candidate for an Upper Body Lift is someone who has experienced massive weight loss—whether through bariatric surgery, diet, or exercise—and has significant excess, sagging skin on their arms, chest, and upper back (bra roll area).
To ensure your safety, optimal healing, and long-lasting results, it is essential to have maintained a stable weight for at least six months. Additionally, patients should be in good overall health, ideally non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about their transformation and the recovery process.
Recovery
Return to work and daily activities: 2 to 3 weeks (avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous physical activities for the first 4 to 6 weeks).
