Back Lift

Back Lift is a body contouring procedure that targets excess skin and fat in the upper or lower back, often caused by aging, weight loss, or lack of skin elasticity. It helps create a smoother, firmer, and more defined back contour by removing sagging tissue and tightening the remaining skin.

At Medixir Clinic, the Back Lift procedure is tailored to each patient’s needs and may focus on the upper back (bra line area) or the lower back and waist. It is ideal for those who have experienced significant weight loss or struggle with back rolls and drooping skin that does not respond to exercise or diet.

During the surgery, an incision is carefully made in a location that can be easily hidden by undergarments or a swimsuit. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the surrounding tissues are tightened to achieve a smooth, natural-looking appearance.

The Upper Back Lift, sometimes referred to as a Bra Line Back Lift, targets folds and rolls in the upper torso, while a Lower Back Lift focuses on the waistline, flanks, and upper buttocks for improved silhouette and balance.

Back Lift is often performed under general anesthesia and takes around 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of treatment. It can be combined with other procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or body lift for more comprehensive results.

Patients usually return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Recovery involves wearing compression garments, managing drains (if used), and avoiding strenuous activity for a few weeks. Most patients resume daily activities in 10 to 14 days.

Results are long-lasting, especially when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While scars are inevitable, they are placed strategically and fade significantly over time with proper care and sun protection.

Back Lift surgery not only improves physical appearance but also boosts confidence and comfort in clothing. It’s a transformative procedure for individuals seeking to eliminate back bulges, folds, or loose skin that affect their self-esteem.

At Medixir Clinic, our experienced plastic surgeons use precision techniques, artistic planning, and detailed aftercare to ensure optimal outcomes and high patient satisfaction in every Back Lift procedure.

Whether performed alone or as part of a body contouring plan, Back Lift surgery delivers smoother lines, enhanced posture, and a more youthful, toned appearance from every angle.
