Who Is a Good Candidate for an Upper Body Lift?
Anyone who finds that lax skin and unwanted fat give their upper body area—known as the thoracic region—a loose look instead of a trim appearance may be a good candidate for an upper body lift. Folds of skin can develop on the lateral chest and mid-back, hiding the contours beneath and even causing discomfort due to chafing.
Dr. Robyn Watts
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
Dr. Robyn Watts is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, and body contouring. Trained in Canada and the U.S., she leads plastic surgery at Richmond Hospital, practices at Cambie Surgical Centre, teaches at UBC, and is known for meticulous technique, compassion, and natural results.
What Can I Expect from an Upper Body Lift Procedure and Recovery?
An upper body lift takes about two to three hours to complete. Dr. Watts performs the surgeries at a private facility, with the patients under general anesthesia. Patients will need someone to be available to drive them home after the procedure.
For the upper body lift surgery itself, she diligently works to camouflage the necessary incisions so that they blend in with natural lines, contours, and creases on the body. This keeps any resulting scars as inconspicuous as possible—and the aftercare instructions further help to minimize their appearance.
Once at home after your upper body lift, you will need to take time to rest and recover while your chest and back heal. Plan for about two weeks of down time, after which you can get back to work and your other typical daily activities.
What Other Body Contouring Surgeries Are Available from Dr. Watts?
Anyone who could benefit from an upper body lift can likely benefit from other forms of body surgery as well. Extending out from the upper body, the arms are also features that can develop unwanted sagging. Tighten upper arm laxity with an arm lift.
Lower down, a tummy tuck gives the abdominal area a flatter look by reducing excess skin and fat, as well as repairing abdominal muscles that may have separated. For patients with more sagging than just their belly, a lower body lift also targets the sides, thighs, and buttocks.
Sagging due to weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can also greatly impact the breasts. If a patient is tightening chest skin, why not also elevate sagging breasts with a breast lift? Other breast surgery options include an augmentation and lift that adds volume in addition to elevating the breasts, or a breast reduction that reduces the weight and heft of overly large breasts, which minimizes their downward pull.
The goal of all these procedures is to help patients get the look they want. Virtually any of these surgeries can be combined in customizable ways so they can achieve truly customized results.
