Upper Body Lift
Are you a fitness enthusiast who works out regularly and can now see your body slowly take an attractive shape? Have you lost a lot of weight and are now looking fabulous except for some excess skin on your arms, back and even chest/breast?
When a person works so hard on their body and doesn’t exactly get the dreamy model like results it is quite frustrating. Loss of fat in a short span of time can lead to loose, hanging skin and stubborn residual deposits of fat on the upper body. These make the otherwise attractive body look unattractive.
Understanding this issue and the frustration it brings to the person, Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Board-certified Plastic Surgeon and Director of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai offers a complete solution in the form of “Upper Body Lift” to tackle all of these issues at once.

What Is
vanity cosmetic clinic's upper body lift?
Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai offers the “Upper Body Lift” as a cosmetic procedure package to reshape and transform the upper body. The focus of these procedures is to remove the excess skin and fat from the upper body while contouring it to make it look more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing.
Generally, when people lose a high amount of weight in a small amount of time, they may notice extra skin sagging from their body which gives them a gaunt appearance. In such cases the upper body lift solution offered by Dr Santosh Bhatia, a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon works wonders.
Not just weight loss but ageing also causes the upper body to become a little loose and saggy. In such cases also, the Upper Body Lift can enhance your appearance and make you look younger, more toned and beautiful as ever.
The target areas of the Upper Body Lift are:
- The chest (male patients) and the breast (female patients)
- The upper arms (they tend to show flabby appearance with all the extra skin)
- The back (excess skin makes it look like there is fat hanging on to the body)
What
procedures fall under the upper body lift?
Since Upper Body Lift comes under the Complete Solutions umbrella of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai it covers different inter-related cosmetic procedures for the upper body.
Following are the cosmetic surgeries that are a part of the Upper Body Lift:
- Arm Lift: Brachioplasty/arm lift is a surgery that targets the excess skin from the armpit to the elbow and aims at eliminating the ‘bat-wing’ appearance.
- Breast Lift: Breast lift helps in changing the shape of the breasts by literally lifting them up to a higher position and restoring their contour and elevation.
- Male Breast Reduction: Male breast reduction/gynecomastia surgery involves removing excess breast tissue and skin from the patient’s chest. It also makes the chest look more contoured and masculine.
- Back Lift: Back lift is a procedure that targets the fat rolls and excess skin hanging from the back (love handles on the back). It removes the excess fat and skin and reshapes the back to be proportionate to the rest of the body and taut in appearance.
Dr Santosh Bhatia, a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon came up with this unique solution to help patients complete their upper body transformation and boost their self-confidence.

What to

In the case of Upper Body Lift surgery, the pre-surgery prep is not much for the patient. Dr Santosh Bhatia may ask you to undergo a couple of routine blood and urine tests in order to establish basic parameters for the surgery. He may ask you to discontinue a few medicines which might conflict with your recovery process later. And if you are a smoker, you will be asked to quit smoking in the weeks leading up to the surgery.
But other than that, no special preparation is required from the patient’s side.
How Is

Planning for every surgery in the package is vital and Dr Santosh Bhatia creates an extensive schedule of which surgeries can be performed together and which need to be done separately. Based on this schedule you will be asked to come in on different days for different procedures. If there is a gap between two procedures, you will be asked to follow certain diet restrictions and physical activity restrictions so as to ensure optimal recovery in the meantime.
The details of each procedure can be found on their individual pages.

After the surgery, you will have to remain at the clinic for a couple of hours. During these hours your vitals will be monitored and once, Dr Santosh Bhatia has ensured that your vitals are stable and you are fully alert, you will be discharged from the clinic.
Your body may have been bandaged at the site/sites of surgery. There may be drainage tubes attached to you. These need to be kept in place so as to remove any excess fluid from your body.
You may be prescribed compression garments. The compression garments need to be worn 24/7 till Dr Santosh Bhatia explicitly tells you to stop wearing them. Compression garments play a vital role in your recovery since they help in the settlement of the surgical area and better results. The swelling also subsides faster due to the compression garments.
