Upper Body Lift
An "Upper Body Lift" addresses the excess skin of the upper back and the areas commonly referred to as "banana rolls" While a "lower body lift" is a powerful way to improve the area of the lower back and buttocks, it does nothing to improve the upper back area.
The excess skin is removed and the incision is carefully placed in an area hidden beneath a bra or bathing suit.
