What Happens During Upper Body Lift Surgery?

Dr. Hagopian performs this surgery while you are under general anesthesia. He will carefully trim the excess skin and remove unwanted fat from your upper back, arms, and chest. If necessary, he will also raise your breasts and nipples to a more youthful position. Once he has given you shapely, flattering contours, he will close your incisions.

Can I Combine an Upper Body Lift With Other Procedures?

Many patients may choose to enhance their surgery with a skin tightening procedure or breast implants. If you are interested in a drainless tummy tuck, Brazilian butt lift, or lower body lift, Dr. Hagopian typically stages these surgeries over two procedures.

How Long Is Upper Body Lift Recovery?

Dr. Hagopian will ensure that you are fully prepared for your recovery. You can expect to take 2 to 3 weeks off work, and you will need to wait 4 to 6 weeks before they can start reintroducing more strenuous activities. Dr. Hagopian uses several ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) protocols to keep your recovery as smooth as possible, including lymphatic drainage massage for optimal healing.

What Do Upper Body Lift Scars Look Like?

During your surgery, Dr. Hagopian takes great care to keep the incision lines as thin and inconspicuous as possible. He understands that scarring can be a significant consideration for his patients. To help you achieve the best cosmetic outcomes possible, he offers multiple scar therapy options, including steroid injections, microneedling, and Silagen® scar refinement products.
