Back Lift

Upper Back Contouring with Dr. Puyana

Back Lift Designed to Smooth, Tighten, and Refine the Upper Back

Excess tissue and skin laxity in the upper back are common concerns, especially after weight changes, aging, or genetics. This area can be difficult—often impossible—to improve with exercise alone, and it may remain noticeable even at a healthy weight.

A back lift is designed to remove redundant upper-back tissue, smooth contour irregularities, and restore a more streamlined appearance—while keeping the incision strategically hidden along the bra line.

Plastic Surgery

Dr. Salomon Puyana approaches back lift surgery with precision and discretion, focusing on natural contour improvement and thoughtful scar placement.

What Is a Back Lift?

A back lift is a surgical procedure that:

  • Removes excess skin and tissue from the upper back
  • Smooths bulges or rolls that persist despite weight stability

  • Restores a firmer, more contoured upper-back profile

The incision is placed along the bra line, allowing it to remain concealed under clothing for most patients. This makes the back lift an excellent option for individuals concerned about visibility while still seeking meaningful improvement.

Why Choose a Back Lift?

Patients choose a back lift to:

  • Address stubborn upper-back tissue redundancy
  • Improve fit and comfort in clothing and bras
  • Achieve a smoother, more refined silhouette
  • Restore confidence in fitted or open-back garments

A back lift is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or who notice excess upper-back tissue that does not respond to lifestyle changes.
