Am I a candidate for a back lift? I have loose skin after losing about 50 lbs (Photo)

It is a wonderful achievement losing that weight!!
Based on your photos you will be candidate for liposuction to back, lateral chest and arms to make appear all the area slimmer.
You will be candidate for Back lift to remove the excess of length (back rolls) and most likely (not observed in your photo) a Lateral Torsoplasty which means a vertical incision from armpit towards the 270 Back lift incision to remove the excess of width, which will make you look slimmer.
As expert in After Weight loss surgery, this a very common combination of procedures.
Be encouraged.

Hello, congratulations for the effort and managing to lose all that weight, as for your back, it may be that only with liposuction it improves a lot, it is not so much hanging skin, I have had more severe cases and with liposuction it is enough

Thank you for your question regarding whether you're a candidate for a back lift after losing 50 pounds. Congratulations on your significant weight loss - it's a substantial achievement!

Based on your history and photos, I would suggest a horizontal torsoplasty (also known as a back lift, bra strap lift, or bra-line lift). This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. It involves making a horizontal incision across the back, after which a significant area of skin and fat is removed. The area is then sutured closed, and drains are inserted, which usually stay in place for 7-10 days. You will be encouraged to recover on your back to minimize stress on the surgical area. Generally, you can return to desk jobs about three weeks after a back lift, while more physically demanding jobs may require 3-4 weeks of recovery time.

I hope my answers have helped clarify your questions regarding your suitability for a back lift after losing 50 pounds.

The bra line excision, or back lift, would be a good option for you. This procedure will treat both of the problem areas that concern you. Although the scar is long, with the amount of excess skin you have after weight loss I believe you would see a dramatic result from this.

Yes, your photos suggest you may be a candidate for a back lift. Back lifts are often performed with breast lifts to ensure a harmonious, natural transition from back to front through the bra role area.

Thank you for your question about back lift and for including a photo.

I recommend an in person consultation and exam to determine if this is an excess skin or fat problem.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.

I hope this helps.

Congratulations on your weight loss! An in person evaluation is always best, but it appears you would see improvement with liposuction. A bra line lift could also be added to remove excess skin. The incision would be along where a bra line would be. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
