Elevate Your Appearance with Back Lift Surgery

Back lift surgery also known as a body lift, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the back, resulting in a more contoured and toned appearance. Whether you're dealing with sagging skin due to significant weight loss or looking to improve the contour of your upper body, this procedure can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Meegan Gruber, a renowned board certified plastic surgeon at Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa, specializes in performing awake back lift procedures, including upper back lift and bra line back lift surgeries, to help you achieve a smoother, firmer back. This surgical procedure uses advanced techniques to target and remove excess skin and fat, ensuring long-lasting results. During the back lift surgery, a small incision is made across the upper back or around the bra line to remove excess skin and fat, and liposuction may be used to contour the upper body further. The procedure can be done awake using local anesthesia or under general anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference. Following surgery, patients can expect a recovery time that allows them to return to work and daily activities within a few weeks, with full recovery and final results visible after a few months. Dr. Gruber's expertise ensures personalized care and optimal body contouring results. Schedule a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and see if you are a good candidate for this cosmetic procedure.
