Upper Body Lift in Abu Dhabi
Refine your upper torso with a comprehensive upper body lift by Dr. Bravo — restoring harmony to the chest, back, and upper arms following weight loss or skin laxity.
What Is an Upper Body Lift?
An upper body lift is a comprehensive contouring procedure that addresses excess skin and soft tissue laxity in the upper torso — particularly the upper back, lateral chest wall, and bra-line region, and in many cases, the upper arms and axillary folds.
It is most commonly performed on post-weight loss patients, where significant skin redundancy affects comfort, mobility, and appearance. Dr. Bravo performs upper body lift surgery to tighten and smooth the entire upper trunk, often in combination with procedures such as arm lift (brachioplasty) or breast reshaping for balanced, full-body improvement.
