The goal of a back lift is to improve the contour of the back and tighten the skin – individually adapted to the needs of the patient. Excess skin is often removed and liposuction is performed to achieve a smooth, defined appearance. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure in which fat tissue is selectively removed through fine cannulas and only a few millimeter-sized incisions. The skin incisions for removing excess skin are placed so that they later lie inconspicuously in the area of the bra line. If there is only little fat and the skin is still elastic, liposuction alone may be sufficient to achieve the desired result.

In the first days after the procedure, swelling, bruising and a feeling of tightness are normal. Your mobility may be temporarily limited, so physical rest is essential. Wearing a compression garment or special bandage supports healing and helps improve the scar appearance. Avoid physically strenuous activities as well as sun, sauna or solarium in the first weeks. Cooling applications and a balanced diet promote the healing process and help you maintain the aesthetic result long-term.
