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.
What Are the Benefits of Upper Body Lift Surgery?
At Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery, we understand how frustrating it is to look in the mirror and see a body you aren't happy with. Upper body lift surgery from our Birmingham, AL team offers a number of benefits for those who struggle with how they look, including:
- Creates a more contoured appearance around the arms, chest, abdomen, and back
- Reduces sagging that occurs due to weight loss or age
- Improves self-image

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.
Dr.Halka performed a lower body lift with tummy tuck and muscle repair on me and I could not be happier. The transformation is so awesome and I’m not even done healing. It looks so good! Truly life changing for me. I highly recommend him. He is not only a great surgeon but he always comes in the room with a smile on his face and is ever patient to listen to anything you have to say or ask.
Dr. Halka not only met my expectations he exceeded them! I could not be happier with my lower body lift. Everyone that sees the before and after are amazed and tell me how lucky I am to have had a great surgeon. He is patient and answers all of your questions and it is evident he really cares. I would trust him with any procedure and recommend him to anyone. It feels so good to have my confidence back! Thank you Dr. Halka!
10/10 would repeatedly recommend - Dr. Stephen Gunn completely exceeded every expectation I had. I underwent a lower body lift, muscle repair, and fat transfer with him, and I can honestly say the entire experience was life-changing from start to finish. Not only are my results incredible, but my recovery was genuinely a 10/10 — far smoother and easier than I ever anticipated.What stood out most to me was Dr. Gunn’s skill, attention to detail, and the level of care he showed throughout the entire process. He made me feel comfortable, informed, and confident every step of the way. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. His bedside manner is exceptional, and his staff was equally kind, supportive, and responsive.
