The Upper Body Lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure for individuals, often after massive weight loss, who experience significant skin laxity and excess fat in the upper torso. It combines arm lifts, upper back and lateral chest skin removal, and breast reshaping to achieve a more sculpted and harmonious upper body aesthetic.
