62-year-old female lost 165 lbs She had a brastraplasty backlift /upper bodylift*

After an incredible 165-pound weight loss, a 62-year-old woman was left with excess skin and stubborn fat on her upper and mid-back, causing bra bulges and discomfort. She always wore jackets to hide her back, even in summer, and struggled to find clothing that fit due to the size of her back. Additionally, wearing a bra was uncomfortable due to skin folds spilling over the straps. She consulted Dr. Katzen, a leader in post-weight loss skin removal, who recommended a horizontal torsoplasty (brastrap lift or braplasty) to eliminate excess back skin and fat, creating a smooth, toned look.Her outpatient procedure took four hours under general anesthesia with two drains placed for healing. Her transformation was dramatic—she now has a flat back, and her bra rolls are gone. Her horizontal torsoplasty scars healed well, giving her a natural, contoured appearance. She returned to work in just one week, diligently followed post-op care, and wore compression garments for six weeks to support healing. To reduce scarring, she used silicone scar treatments. Now, she enjoys fitted clothing, swimsuits, and warm weather without worrying about hiding her back. She is beyond thrilled with her horizontal torsoplasty results and grateful to Dr. Katzen for giving her a confidence-boosting back transformation.
