Though loose skin on your stomach may be most obvious, excess skin can also appear on your back post-weight loss. Excess flesh on the back can make it difficult to fit into clothes and make wearing a bra extremely uncomfortable. With a special technique called a back lift, our doctors can help correct these

Restore Confidence with a Back Lift

This procedure is designed to correct issues such as:

• Loose back skin
• Persistent back fat
• Prominent flanks or “love handles”

Candidates are healthy men or women who have back fat associated with aging, sun damage, or weight loss. If you are dealing with pockets of sagging fat on the back or around the “bra line”, a back lift may be able to help.

What is Back Lift?

Though you may first notice loose skin on the front of your body, especially after losing a large amount of weight, your back may exhibit the same issue. Just like your thighs and abdomen, your back has lost weight, and if gravity has also played a role, it may now appear loose. This can result in skin bunching around your bra area and above your waistline, the much-despised “back rolls.” For men and women, a back lift can help to offer a more proportionate body silhouette.

Am I A Candidate For Back Lift In Bloomfield Hills, MI?

You may be a candidate for a back lift if you are bothered by loose or sagging skin on your back, particularly around the bra line or waistline. Many patients seek this procedure after weight loss or due to age-related skin laxity that does not improve with diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are at a stable, healthy weight, in good overall health, and are non-smokers. Persistent pockets of fat along the back or flanks may also be addressed during the procedure. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your concerns and determine if a back lift is the right option for your goals.

How Is Back Lift Performed In Bloomfield Hills, MI?

A back lift surgery in Birmingham, MI, is an outpatient procedure performed in a similar manner to a tummy tuck. The procedure usually takes 1-2 hours to complete, and general anesthesia will be used. Most often, our doctors will make two careful incisions across the center of your back, near the bra line. The loose skin between these two incisions will be removed. When the intended result is achieved, our doctors will close the incisions with sutures and cover them with a surgical dressing. In some cases, our doctors may also use liposuction to remove fat from the area.

What Will My Aftercare Steps Be Following Back Lift?

When you leave her practice, our doctors will ask you to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and maintain the new contours of your back. Your activity will need to be limited after surgery, but you will be able to walk. Any swelling you experience will subside, and discomfort can be managed with medication. Recovery time varies from patient to patient, though it typically lasts about 2 weeks.

As with any surgery, some scarring will be present. The visibility of scaring will vary by patient, however. In the case of a back lift, our doctors will take care to hide the incisions within the natural contours of your body, under your bra strap. Your scars will fade over time, and you should be able to conceal them easily. 

I love Dr. Ellen! She is truly the best. Super professional, transparent & compassionate. Everyone at the hospital had amazing things to say about her which made me more confident in my decision. I'm so glad I chose her for my breast reduction, arm lift, and thigh lift. Her staff is elite, they are attentive with positive energy that makes you feel so much more comfortable about doing the procedure. If you're thinking of choosing Dr. Ellen, please do! You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Boston exceeded every expectation I had for my surgery. My results are natural and was exactly what I was hoping for. She has an exceptional eye and skill as a surgeon, and it truly shows in her work. Dr. Boston is also one of the kindest and most compassionate people you will ever meet. She takes the time to listen, makes you feel comfortable, and genuinely cares about her patients. I am beyond grateful for my experience and my results.

I had a breast lift, implant and liposuction done a little over a week ago. The whole process from my first Google search and phone call until today, 8 days post op has been so professional and nice. I never once felt like just another patient. I did have a few other consults in the Bloomfield hills areas (2 others) and chose Dr. Ellen.
All the staff is welcoming and friendly, quick to answer your questions. I’m very happy with my results so far.

How Long Will Back Lift Results Last?

Back lift results are long-lasting, particularly when you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. The removal of excess skin provides a permanent improvement in contour, though natural aging will continue over time. Maintaining your results depends on consistent weight management and overall health. Most patients enjoy a smoother, more proportionate back profile for many years.
