Back Lift

Has anyone had their upper back lifted (above the waiste below the bra line)?  how were your results?  what was the recuperation time?  I had an LBL and upper thigh lift last year and did well with that.  the upper thigh lift was definately more uncomfortable than the LBL.

 Hey there....

I just had one....my doc called it excision of flank skin, but it got rid of my messy, fat back rolls. I have pics on my profile under June 25. It is getting less swollen every day!

Your before pictures look just like my back.  how was the recovery?  easier or harder than the LBL?  did you need any special clothes like with the LBL?  Do you wear a back support after surgery?  how long did you take off from work?  etc.

 Hi Beth,

I have never had a LBL so I can't compare. I have only had a tummy tuck and arm lift. I don't have any special clothes. I am not wearing any back support or anything. I am of for the summer, I do know that it has been 5 full days and I wouldn;t be able to work. I would say at least 2 weeks off. 

Ask away...

I know of a couple of folks who have had the back lift you are talking about. I know purpletb is one of them and she has been pleased with her results. I may consider doing it in the future. I sure wish I would have done it when I had my arm lift but I just couldnt deal with having another scar going across my back after I had m LBL. All the results I have seen with the bra line lift has been impressive. The back area is something that the LBL won't take care of if your back skin is excessive. I even had the anchor cut.

My upper body lift included my brests with auto-augmentation and my back.  I was cut completely around and the whole scar is covered by my bra.  It was much easier than the lbl.  My back was not hard to lay or sit against.  The only garment that I wore was a regular bra.  I was bandaged under the bra for several days and did have drains for those days but I did have my breasts done.  My results were fabulous.  I am big busted but am small around.  I love having a smooth back.  I have no lines puffing above my bra or pudge showing through my clothes and I am not a skinny Minny.  I am not shy about taking pain pills, but from what I hear about thigh lifts this will be so much easier.  Loris
