hello. after loosing 120lbs I've been left with an unsightly back. I had a tummy tuck 6 weeks ago with lipo to flanks. after looking at all the options I would love to have a vertical back lift. from what I've read it can give me a more snatched in waist (figure 8). also I was hoping it would pull in some.of the skin at the top of my stomach also can this procedure be done along side butt implants? I'd love to do both same time if not I would do along side a breast uplift.

Answer: Upper Back Lift Hello! Thank you for your question. Also congratulations on your weight loss!! 120lbs is awesome!! Anyway, surgical recommendations are based on three things: (1) your anatomy / the thing(s) that you’re concerned about; (2) your aesthetic goals; and (3) the ability of surgery to address your concerns and achieve your aesthetic goals. Without even one of those things (in this case pictures), it is not possible for anyone to provide any recommendations. You are correct that an upper back lift (in an appropriate patient) will improve the shape and contour of the upper back, mid back, and waist and will improve the appearance of back rolls in those areas. If you decide to pursue surgery, it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Upper body lift a better option Many thanks for your query.Well done on losing 120lb!I see that you are concerned with your back folds, ha gong breasts and upper abdominal laxity.An upper body lift can improve all these - you have the breast lift with a transverse scar all round the upper abdomen hiding under your breasts.A buttock augment is not a good idea in the weight loss patient.Hope this is helpful.BestMark
