What Is an Upper Body Lift?
At HGH Plastic Surgery, we offer upper body lift surgery as a solution for sagging skin and stubborn fat above the waist, including areas like the arms, back, and chest. An upper body lift combines a number of treatments, including loose skin removal, liposuction, and skin tightening, to create a slimmer, firmer physique. This body contouring procedure can help those who've lost significant weight attain the slimmer, tighter figure they've worked hard to achieve. To learn more about upper body lift surgery, contact our team of plastic surgeons in Birmingham, AL.
How Is an Upper Body Lift Performed?
An upper body lift is performed with the patient under general anesthesia. Incisions are made in targeted areas, such as along the bra line, under the arms, or around the chest. Through these incisions, excess tissue is removed to create a more contoured and toned appearance. The remaining skin is tightened to achieve a smoother, more lifted look. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incisions are carefully closed, and the areas are bandaged to promote healing.

- Creates a more contoured appearance around the arms, chest, abdomen, and back
- Reduces sagging that occurs due to weight loss or age

Upper Body Lift Reviews
After losing almost a hundred pounds, I was left with extremely loose, sagging skin, and after consulting with three plastic surgeons, I decided to go with Dr. Halka. He is exceptionally kind and patient with all my questions and concerns, and I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. He did my brachioplasty (arm lift) and breast lift 7 weeks ago, and I am thrilled with my results. My scars look fantastic, and I honestly can’t believe how wonderfully everything is healing. I’ve had zero problems or complications. Dr. Halka will be performing my next two surgeries, a lower body lift and a thigh lift, in the coming months, and I have no worries about my care and comfort in his hands. The nurses and staff at Hedden and Gunn have also all been extremely helpful and friendly. As nervous as I was to start this journey of skin removal and reconstruction, Dr. Halka and the entire H&G team have made it as easy and painless as it could be, and I am so grateful.
I have had three surgeries with Dr. Halka @ Hedden & Gunn. A lower body lift w/bbl in 03/2024 a breast lift w/ implants 07/2024 and an upper body lift 12/2024. I lost over 119 pounds with diet and exercise, I maintained the weight loss for two years and then started considering cosmetic surgery to remove the excess skin. My first consult was with a surgeon in Miami. I was nervous but paid a deposit then I thought perhaps I find a Doctor near where I live, which led me to Hedden and Gunn. I did a virtual consultation with Dr. Halka he was very thorough explaining every option in detail and even including photos of results from each surgery, He then recommended what he thought would be my best option. I then decided to meet with him in person and I could not be more glad that I did, with surgery there are many ups and downs but the care I have received by everyone at this facility has been beyond what I could have ever expected. I have said many times that I am so glad that I decided to have my surgery locally and not out of state (in my case) I am sure many surgeries go off without a hitch but to have the clinic and staff close by for any and every concern I have had has been the best option for me. I absolutely love my results, I could not have ever imagined better results even if I tried!
Dr. Halka and his staff at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, AL are AWESOME. After loosing 86 pounds, I had the lower body lift, arm lift, breast lift and augmentation procedures. Dr. Halka is a surgical sculptor who turned my body from a large ugly rectangle with lots of hanging skin; into a body with a beautiful shape and a waist. I am extremely happy with my body. I recommend Dr. Halka to anyone considering surgery. Again he is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Dr. Gunn is absolutely amazing! I researched for a whole year after losing a significant amount of weight and found him in a Facebook plastic surgery group. I booked a consult with him and half way through the appointment, I knew he was it! He did a lower body lift with fat transfer to buttocks. I can honestly say that I’ve never felt better in my life! I cannot think him and his entire staff enough.

Edit 8 months later- My lower body lift and thigh lift were both performed as scheduled, and just like with my first surgery, I’m extremely happy with my results. Again, thanks to Dr. Halka and everyone at HGH, I healed perfectly and had great recoveries!
