Upper Body Lift

What is Upper Body Lift surgery ?

An Upper Body Lift consists of multiple procedures, such as a Bra Line Lift and a Reverse Tummy Tuck. An Upper Body Lift creates a tighter, smoother body contour and improves the patient’s profile.

Aging or excess weight loss caused by pregnancy or Bariatric Surgery can result in excess skin and fat around the upper body and an Upper Body Lift Lift surgery is often the best option.

Why is Upper Body Lift performed?

Bra Line Lift:

Bra Line Lift, also known as Torsoplasty, is recommended to patients who have fat pockets and stretched skin on their upper and middle back.

An incision is made horizontally across the back to create new contours for the upper back.

Reverse Tummy Tuck:

A Reverse Tummy Tuck is recommended to patients who have loose skin in their upper abdomen, who generally do not have a full diastasis affecting the lower abdominal contour, and have excess fatty tissue in the lower abdomen without excess skin.

What are the conditions for Upper Body Lift surgery?

Bra Line Lift:

A Bra Line Lift is an extensive surgery. As such, it is best performed when the patient does not intend to lose additional weight or who has considerable loose skin that cannot be reduced otherwise. It is recommended to patients that have sagging skin on the upper part of their back

are over 40 as the skin starts to lose elasticity with age. However, it can also be done on younger patients who have lost a significant amount of weight in a very short time and their skin hasn’t been able to keep up with their body shape.

Reverse Tummy Tuck:

A Reverse Abdominoplasty is targeted towards patients that have excess loose skin on the upper abdomen.

Both surgeries require the patient to be able to safely undergo anesthesia and to not have any health conditions that might impede the healing process after the surgery.

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Upper Body Lift?

Before Upper Body Lift, patients should:

  • Be at the hospital a day before their surgery for pre operative tests to be performed.
  • Stop smoking and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the surgery to alleviate the risk of a blood clot.
  • Avoid medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) for two weeks before and after surgery. As these medications may increase the risk of internal bleeding. Patients should confirm each medication and supplement they wish to take with their Patient Coordinator.
  • Stop taking Multivitamin supplements 7 days prior to the surgery, and if it contains vitamin K should not be used for 30 days following the surgery.
  • Stop taking oral contraceptives 30 days before the surgery.

Also, the patient's body will be examined and measured, and the surgeon might have photographs taken so that the patient can compare the appearance before and after the Upper Body Lift.

How is the Upper Body Lift performed?

Bra Line:

The patient is marked while wearing their underwear to make sure that the final incisions are concealed underneath the bra. The patient then undergoes general anesthesia and the surgeon makes the incisions according to the previously made marks.

Excess skin and tissues are removed through the incisions, which are then pulled tight and sealed with sutures. Liposuction might also be administered if needed. The surgery, approximately, takes 2 hours.

Reverse Tummy Tuck:

Incisions are made that go through the lower breast fold and then connect the sternum to the both sides of the upper abdomen. The excess skin is removed, and then the remaining skin is stretched down and set in place using sutures. Likewise Liposuction might also be administered if needed. The resulting scars can be hidden beneath underwear or even two piece swimsuits.

What are The Things To Be Considered After Upper Body Lift?

Patients are recommended to take the provided medicine as instructed by their Plastic Surgeon.

Bra Line Lift:

For the first 2 weeks following surgery, the patient is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and to not wear a bra or any similar garment that supports the upper body.

After two weeks, the patient needs to wear a loose-fitting bra for a month. This bra should be made of soft and breathable loose fabric with no underwire, and have a wide horizontal strap.

Reverse Tummy Tuck:

Recovery period of Reverse Tummy Tuck takes, on average, two weeks, during which post surgery bruising, swelling and tenderness will slowly decrease. To support the abdominal counter, surgical bandages provided at the hospital must be worn for several days.

What Are The Risks of Upper Body Lift?

Risks of an Upper Body Lift include but are not limited to:

  • Persistent swelling and bruising
  • Seroma, also known as fluid collection
  • Thick, visible scars
  • Temporary numbness of the area
  • Bleeding
  • Hematoma
  • Damage to the surrounding tissues
  • Infection
  • Adverse Reaction to the anesthesia

Georgia Harley reviewed What an amazing experience

What an amazing experience. Like most, the idea of travelling to another country for a medical procedure was nerve wracking at first however, my amazing care co ordinator Sean was there every step of the way! I arrived on the 31st December and everything from my booking experience, hospital stay, pre op tests, gastric sleeve surgery , transport home and post op assistance has exceeded alp expectations. I am from the UK and all of the care far surpassed anything that I have recieved in the UK. Sean has also been there post me returning to the UK to check in and respond quickly to any post op questions that I have had. Would 100% reccomend

Had a bit of a mix up but this was easily fixed and my feedback taken onboard for future patients 😊 The hospital is immaculate with very friendly and caring staff. I was very well looked after before and after surgery. After surgery nurses would check on me every 1.5/2 hours and if I rang the bell they would come instantly. Translators were brilliant and the staff who didn’t speak much English was very good with google translate 😊 The care and the cleanliness at the hospital I went to Medistanbul was out of the world. Puts the UK hospitals to shame honestly! Had so many family & friends telling me don’t go abroad for surgery but it’s the best thing I ever done! My coordinator Rick Miller was so quick at responding, always kept me up to date and was very helpful throughout the whole process. My surgeon was Prof Dr Kagan Katar who was very professional, he came to see me before and after operation Also the transfer driver Orhan was amazing he was so helpful with our bags in the huge airport and sorted us out with wheelchairs Had a brilliant experience

customer reviewed Dr Ahmet - arm lift and Sr Emre - face, neck, eyes. First class

I had arm lift surgery with Dr Ahmet on 8 October 2024. David Turker was my co ordinator. From the collection at the airport to dropping be off ;I also had dental implant and my partner has a hair transplant) everything went smoothly. They’re organised and efficient. There are several interpreters and staff who work for Booking Surgery who are resident at different times in the ward of the hospitals. On 30/1/24 I returned to finish off my tooth implant and to have a deep plane facelift, a neck lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Again everyone was fantastic. My only critique is the hospitals’ food, which, similar to UK is not great but I knew that prior to going and found out where the nearest shops were. I also ordered in pizza via the helpers and they got me stuff from the shop. They also got me a soft pillow as the pillow on my hospital bed the second time was like a boulder with wee pebbles in it LOL. But this is a minor thing and plenty of cheap pillows for sale nearby. I felt that my treatment in Istanbul was better than any I’d ever received in the UK and I’ve had over 5 operations in Scotland. The nurses in Turkey are so kind and compassionate. Any medication you need for any ancillary issues that arise is readily prescribed to you. The surgeons are lovely too and experienced and professional. I had Dr Emre Koçman for my face etc., ab older guy in his 60s with great experience. I’m not 10 days post op and pleased Ruth progress. I’m 65 and once healed I'm going to look 45. That wasn’t my aim but I’ll take it LOL ! Thank you booking surgery. You’re the best. Maxine
