WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
A continuous torso,
free of folds.
A back lift works the dorsal area and the waist to remove excess skin and fat that accumulates on the back, often with folds marked by the bra or by major weight loss.
The goal is to restore a continuous surface: eliminating the "step" effect and returning a fluid line to the torso that looks good from the front, the side and behind. It is often combined with back and waist liposuction to refine the contour.
The surgical design is planned so the scar sits in a discreet position, covered even by a swimsuit.

Back Lift (Dorsoplasty) is a body plastic surgery procedure performed by Santelly in Tijuana, Mexico, for patients from Mexico and California. We firm the back and waist to remove folds and restore a continuous, sculpted torso.
Does a back lift include liposuction?
Frequently yes. Combining skin removal with back and waist liposuction refines the contour and prevents abrupt transitions.
Where is the scar?
The design seeks a discreet position, hidden under underwear or a swimsuit. The exact location is defined during pre-operative marking.
When can I sleep normally?
During the first days, sleeping on your side or stomach is recommended. Normal positions resume gradually as swelling settles.
