Back extensions

Surgical treatment of excess skin on the back.

About the treatment

A back lift is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at removing excess skin on the back and improving skin elasticity and body contour.

In some individuals, the skin on the back can become loose or sagging. This can occur after significant weight loss, with advancing age, or due to the skin's natural elasticity.

When the skin loses its elasticity, it can form skin folds that do not disappear despite exercise or weight loss.

When the problem is primarily due to excess skin and not fat accumulation, a back lift is often the most effective treatment.

After a back lift, a smoother back contour is often seen with reduced excess skin, improved body silhouette, and tighter skin.

When is liposuction not enough?

Liposuction is a treatment that removes fatty tissue, but it cannot remove excess skin.

If the skin's elasticity is limited, liposuction can sometimes even make the skin looser as the volume under the skin decreases.

When the issue instead is loose skin, a back lift can be the most effective treatment because the surgery directly removes the excess skin.

Placement of scars

The incision for a back lift is usually placed in the upper part of the back, often along the bra line. The placement is planned so that the scar can, in most cases, be hidden under underwear or a bikini.

The scars gradually fade during the healing process and usually become less visible over time.
