Back Lift

Back Lift (Dorsalplasty) Procedures

• Consultation and Evaluation

  The plastic surgeon evaluates the patient's general health status and overall aesthetic goals. Surgical options, expectations and possible risks are discussed.

• Anesthesia

  The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, but sedation may be used depending on the situation and the surgeon's preference.

• Incision Sites

  The incisions for a back lift are usually located in the lumbar region. The length of the incision may vary depending on the excess skin and sagging of the back.

• Skin and Fat Tissue Removal

  Excess skin and fat tissue on the back is removed.  The skin is lifted to create a tight appearance.

• Sutures

  After the skin is closed, it is closed with sutures. Suture placement is planned to ensure minimal scarring during the recovery process.

• Recovery Process

  The recovery process varies from person to person, but you can usually resume normal activities within a few weeks. There may be swelling, bruising and mild pain in the first few days.

Who is this procedure recommended for?

• Sagging Skin After Weight Loss: It is especially suitable in cases of sagging skin in the back area, especially in individuals who have experienced major weight loss.
• Aging Process: Backlift may be considered for those who lose skin elasticity during the aging process.

Advantages and Considerations

• A More Esthetical and Firmer Appearance: A back lift can give the back area a more aesthetic appearance by removing sagging skin and excess fat tissue.
• Possibility of Scarring: There is a possibility of scarring after surgery, but these scars usually diminish during the recovery process.
• Recovery Process: There may be some discomfort in the first few days and full recovery may take several weeks.

Back lift should be performed by a specialized plastic surgeon. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendations before and after the procedure to optimize the recovery process. The patient should be informed in detail about possible risks and side effects.
