Will back rolls or back flanks be removed with a lower body lift?

Dear Tonyagto,It completely depends on which back rolls to which you are referring. With a 360 lower bodylift, abdominal skin and fat, saddlebags, and excess skin and fat of the upper buttocks are removed. In the front, the abdominal skin is pulled downward. The end result is a flat upper and lower abdomen.  In the back, the buttocks skin is pulled upward. This results in a flat buttock, however the excess skin and fat and wrinkles are limited.  Since the buttock is pulled upward, the upper back rolls are not significantly affected.The upper back fat rolls are removed with techniques dependent on severity. If there is just back fat, I would suggest upper back liposuction.  If there is a significant amount of excess skin and fat of the upper back, I would suggest a torsoplasty.  One technique  involves an incision from the armpits to the hips.  Another technique, involves a horizontal  incision across the upper back across the bra strap line.  Good luck on your weight loss journey.

In the planning of the lower
body lift, the lower rolls of the
patient are part of the surgical planned
of the patient and will be treated with liposuction or skin resection

A lower body lift or a back lift can remove the rolls depending upon their location. I have found that many back rolls can be improved with liposuction alone, but photos or an exam would help determine this.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of body contouring and liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
