## What does it involve?

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.

## What it corrects

- Skin folds in the mid and lower back
- Excess skin after weight loss
- Fat accumulation on the back and waist
- Bulge above the bra line
- Lack of definition in the posterior torso

## Is it for you?

- **Folds on the back**: The volume or folds on your back bother you more than any other area.
- **Stable weight**: Your weight has been stable and there are no plans for major weight loss.
- **Aftercare**: You can use the garment and follow the indicated check-ups and drainage sessions.

## FAQ

### 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.
