Back Lift
People who are bothered by both fat rolls and the loose, saggy skin on their back are typically good candidates for back lift surgery. Skin laxity and back fat can develop with age, and sagging skin can be particularly problematic for people who have had significant weight loss following bariatric surgery.
Back lift surgery is a major procedure with a long recovery time, so patients should be in good general health and have a BMI (body mass index) below 30. If you smoke, you should stop using all nicotine products for the month before and throughout your recovery to help your body heal and avoid complications.
Lower back stretching is typically combined with a tummy tuck, so you may need to take at least two weeks off work. Surgical drains can be applied for 5-6 days to reduce the possibility of fluid accumulation. For upper back stretching, most patients return to work with restrictions after 7 to 10 days, but the total recovery time is four to six weeks for most patients.
In the first few days after surgery, bruising, swelling, numbness and moderate pain at the surgical site are common. Patients are prescribed pain relievers to help them relax.
