An upper back lift, also known as a bra line lift, is a surgical procedure performed to correct drooping or sagging skin in the upper back region. The procedure is often performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures, such as a breast lift or abdominoplasty, but it can be a standalone procedure.
If you are considering an upper back lift in Troy, Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell will help you determine whether this is the right body sculpting procedure for you during a consultation. She will assess your medical history, current health, and aesthetic goals before developing a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results. To learn more about your surgical options for getting the body you want, call today.
Before undergoing any type of surgery, you will be scheduled for a pre-operative appointment at our office in Troy. This is an important appointment, as it allows you to ask any questions you may have about the procedure. Dr. DeLuca-Pytell will also go over the risks and benefits of the surgery with you, and have you sign a consent form for the procedure. Photographs will be taken at this time.
Dr. DeLuca-Pytell will answer all of your questions and explain how to prepare for the surgery. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully, as they are crucial to a safe and effective surgery and recovery. Once you have completed your pre-operative appointment, you are one step closer to having your surgery.
Most upper back lift procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, which means you go home the same day. During the procedure, Dr. DeLuca-Pytell makes incisions along the length of your upper back, removes any excess skin and fat, and then tightens the remaining skin. Finally, the incisions are closed with dissolvable stitches followed by surgical tape.
After the procedure, you may experience some swelling and bruising. This procedure is done with a DRAINLESS technique to increase post-operative comfort. Any swelling should lessen within a few weeks.
The exact price of a back lift depends on a number of factors, including the extent of the procedure. Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of plastic surgery, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. However, the long-term benefits of a slimmer contour are more than worth the investment.
The most common risks include infection, bleeding, and scarring. Additionally, there is a small risk of nerve damage and wound healing delays. While the risk of serious side effects is minimal, Dr. DeLuca-Pytell will go over all potential risks of a Troy upper back lift with you and help you determine whether this procedure is right for you given your unique goals, medical history, and more.
An upper back lift could help boost your confidence and improve your appearance. If you are considering this procedure, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to see if it is right for you.
