Backlift after lipo - will a vertical or horizontal lift be the best option? (Photos)

Courageous512299
Hi, I had lipsuction some years ago and unfortunately the skin on my back never retracted, leaving me with these unsightly hanging empty sacks of skin on my back. I want a back lift; I originally did not want a horizontal scar across my back in the ‘bra line lift’ instead I want a torsoplasty vertical lift - However, since then I have been on one in person consultation where I was advised that due to the large amount of skin the torsoplasty scar would be down my hip and advised against it in favour for the bra lift. I am now more open to the idea of a horizontal scar, because I just cannot bare the excess skin, its really aging. Any advice would be appreciated greatly
