I have stretch marks on the very lower part of my back. Can some of them be removed with the skin that is removed with a lower body lift?
Answer: Will Stretch marks be removed with my Bodylift? This depends on where they are. At the from, any below the level of the belly-button are likely to be removed, and higher ones will be moved down and be tighter, so usually look better. At the back, there is little skin movement down, and only the skin just above the buttocks is removed, so if higher than this, they will not change, nor pulled much tighter (as here the buttocks are pulled up, rather than the back sin pilled down.

Answer: Stretch mark removal Thank you for your question! There is a good chance that a portion of the stretch marks will be removed during surgery. I would recommend consulting with your surgeon ahead of time to find out where he plans on making the incision and discuss how much skin will be removed.

Answer: 360 circumferential lower body lift belt lipectomy extended tummy tuck Los Angeles body lift specialist expert back stretch mark Hi Jennifurby, Thank you for your question about removing stretch marks on the back with a 360 circumferential lower body lift. The answer really depends on where your back stretch marks are located. If your back stretch marks are on your lower back, the 360 circumferential lower body lift may remove them. Typically, if your low back stretch marks are about 4 inches above your normal beltline, your back stretch marks can be removed. However, if your back stretch marks are any higher, your back stretch marks will probably not be removed with a 360 circumferential lower body lift. To remove these upper back stretch marks, you may need a horizontal torsoplasty or bra strap lift. During the horizontal torsoplasty or bra strap lift, an incision is placed across the back and a butterfly shaped area of back skin and fat is removed. Please study before and after pictures of the 360 circumferential lower body lift. Carefully examine to see where others have had their lower back stretch marks removed. Remember, if the back stretch marks are low, they can be removed with a body lift. If the back stretch marks are high, they can be removed with a horizontal torsoplasty or upper bra strap lift. When you are considering reconstructive plastic surgery or lower body lift, please seek a body lift expert. If you need to travel out of state, please do so. Please seek a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of body lifts. If you have any more questions regarding the360 circumferential lower body lift, bra strap back lift, or horizontal torsoplasty, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr.Katzen

Answer: Stretchmarks on the back.... I don't believe the stretchmarks will all be removed, but some of the might. I usually will draw on my patients the skin we wish to target and remove so they can see what portions of the stretchmarks are to be removed. I think you should talk to your surgeon about what will be removed and what will remain.Good luck. Dr. ALDO
