I had a tummy tuck many years ago after losing over 100 pounds. My waist still does not have a nice contour and part of the reason seems to be because I tend to carry a lot of weight on my mid back. although my skin is relatively thick, my back has many folds and seems lax. If I pull the skin up, it seems to make my waist look nicer as well. I also carry weight on my upper arms- the lower half has lax skin while the upper part just seems thick and very slow to change despite exercising.
Answer: #BralineLift #Torsoplasty can be done to help back and bra rolls, along with an #Armlift Thank you for your question.Pictures would be nice and would help us to give you better answers.That being said, there is no doubt that a braline lift (part of the torsoplasty procedure) would help the midback rolls. But it depends how much and how many rolls you have and where exactly they are located. Many patients require both the braline lift and the lower body lift (an extension of your tummy-tuck procedure).There is a limit to lifting many back rolls without the lower body lift. Again, pictures would help.And yes, the Braline Lift can be combined with the armlift, and also with a breast lift.Look for an experience plastic surgeon as those procedures are still not common.Let us know if this information was useful.

Answer: Contours Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! An in person evaluation is needed to best answer your question. From your description it sounds as though you would benefit from both skin removal and liposuction to better define your curves. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Back Lift Bra Strap Lift Bra Strap Plasty Upper Body Lift Torsoplasty Horizontal Torsoplasty Vertical Torsoplasty A bra back lift also known as a horizontal torsoplasty could help with your waist and overall figure. Another option could be to get a vertical torsoplasty also known as an hourglass procedure where the incision goes from the armpit and down the side to either where the bra strap line is or down the side of the waist (if there is excess skin of the abdomen).

Answer: Lack of waistline Based on my 15 years of passion for body contouring I have found out that archiving a waist depends on many factors: our bone frame as the most important, if your bone is wide on your upper body, wide around the waist and narrow around the hips a tapeted waist will be more difficult to achieve but NOT impossible. For the ones who have a small upper body and wider lower body bone structure will be much easier to achieve a smaller waist. Then the saggy skin creates like a “tent” over the waist and then the fat a great cushion on top of the waist and finally a loose muscle (because of genetics, pregnancies or past obesity) will not allow to show the real or camouflaged waist. For the former reasons will be important to treat them all: tighten the skin, remove the fat and also create an internal corset with the muscle. So we have to figure out which is the reason you have no waist. If it is the 3 BINGO!!! We may create a nice and tapered waist. So most likely you will need all of them.Be encouraged!!! Just be sure your surgeon is an expert on After weight loss surgery and a passionate for curves. Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Upper Back Lift Improves the Waist You are absolutely correct. The upper back lift actually pulls redundant skin that otherwise can roll up on the waistline and smoothes it out. This allows the true waist to show through. I tell my body lift patients this all the time and remind them that without the upper back lift, they may not get the silhouette contour they want.Good Luck!
