Upper Body Lift

Enhance Your Upper Body Shape with Dr. Salvador Medina

If you have loose skin on your upper body due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy, an upper body lift can help you achieve a firmer, more toned appearance. Dr. Salvador Medina offers upper body lift surgery to remove excess skin and fat, giving your chest, back, and arms a smoother and more youthful look.

What is an Upper Body Lift?

An upper body lift is a surgery that focuses on removing loose skin and fat from the upper body, including areas like the chest, upper back, and arms. This surgery is especially helpful for people who have lost a lot of weight and are left with sagging skin. The goal is to improve the overall shape and contour of the upper body.

Benefits of an Upper Body Lift:

  • Tightened Skin: Removes sagging skin for a firmer and smoother upper body.
  • Boosted Confidence: Helps you feel more comfortable in fitted clothing and improves body shape.
  • Long-Lasting Effects: The results can last for many years with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

How the Surgery Works:

During an upper body lift, Dr. Medina will make incisions in key areas, such as the chest, upper back, or arms, depending on your specific needs. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a more toned look. The incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring, often hidden in natural body folds. Sometimes, liposuction may be used to remove stubborn fat pockets.

Recovery:

Patients usually return to light activities after about 2 weeks, but it’s important to avoid heavy lifting or exercise for about 6 weeks. Dr. Medina and his team will provide clear instructions on how to care for your body after surgery, ensuring a smooth recovery process.

Who is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for an upper body lift if you have loose or sagging skin on your upper body and are in good overall health. This surgery is ideal for people who have experienced significant weight loss or aging-related skin changes and want to improve their body’s shape.
