Six Weeks Post LBL Photos
Gongrats. You look great!! With your upper body lift did they go all the way around with the incision (like to remove back fat?) If so do you have any before/after pictures of that area? I have so much back fat, I have love handles even after my LBL, so I can't wait.

I had some toro plasty done with the upper body lift. You can see the incisions in one of my side photos where I'm raising my arms. Basically the doctor cut underneath the breasts and extended the incision to the back of my armpit. With the brachioplasty he extended that incision down the armpit and the two meet at my back forming one long continuous incision on each arm/breast. You can see the scar a little from the back if I were to wear a spaghetti strap dress or bathing suit that is cut low in the back, but for now I'm able to find clothes I like that can hide that scar.
From the back toro area the doctor did do some lipo to remove some back fat, but I really didn't have that much.
