"He is Doctor and Surgeon You Can Trust! - Dr Kasden will talk with you at length about what your goals are and how he can help you achieve them. He will give you honest advice on what to expect every step of the way. This is my second surgery procedure with Dr Kasden. My first was a neck lift with coblation on my face to get rid of fine lines. I am so happy with both results. I have also received Botox many times- always with natural results. He is a surgeon that will follow up on his patients much more than any other doctor I have ever known. He really cares! Sharon, who runs the office, is a joy as well as being professional and helpful. I am grateful to have found Dr Kasden and his staff!"

"Not only being very professional Dr.Aladdin paid special attention to every detail of repairing my ear lobe. He made me feel relaxed and I didn’t feel any pain. To top it off three weeks later he pierced my ear lobe so I could wear earrings again, and of course he followed up with another appointment to check up again. I would highly recommend Dr.Kasden"

"4 months post op - liposuction of abdomen - Dr. Kasden & his staff are AMAZING! Dr. Kasden answered all of my questions and allowed me to schedule multiple consultations prior to making a decision. There was absolutely no pressure. I felt like he actually tried to get to know me on a personal level which is always comforting when having any type of surgery. I had a few questions the day after my surgery & Dr. Kasden answered my call. He even called and checked on me himself a few days later. I've had monthly check ups and am happy with my results. I have already recommended Dr. K to some family and friends!"

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BACK LIFT SURGERY
During your initial consultation with Dr. Kasden, he will listen to your concerns and goals before helping you decide if you are a good candidate for back lift surgery. You may want a back lift if you would like to eliminate excess skin on your middle and upper back, which can create bulges and rolls along your bra line. Generally, patients who undergo this procedure have lost a significant amount of weight, but you may also have excess skin in your back after pregnancy or from natural aging. You should be in good general health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations.
SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR BACK LIFT
Prior to your surgery, Dr. Kasden will perform a full examination and create a custom treatment plan for your back lift. A back lift is usually performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility as an outpatient procedure. Generally, horizontal incisions will be made across your middle or upper back. The excess skin and tissue will then be removed before Dr. Kasden stitches the remaining skin together. The length of the surgery will vary depending on the amount of skin being removed and if you are combining a back lift with another procedure.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BACK LIFT SURGERY
After your surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area for care and monitoring. Before you are discharged, a compression bra or chest strap will be carefully placed to help hold and protect the surgical area. You will also be given post-surgical care instructions to encourage proper healing and keep you comfortable. A feeling of tightness and some pain is normal, but these symptoms should fade. Please schedule and attend all follow-up appointments with Dr. Kasden so he can assess your healing. While you should see some improvements soon after surgery, you may need to wait several months to see your optimal results once the inflammation from surgery is gone.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BACK LIFT SURGERY
How much does a back lift cost?
The cost of back lift surgery will vary based on the amount of skin removed and several other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Kasden will listen to your concerns and goals before creating your custom back lift surgical plan. After that, he can better estimate costs and also discuss payment methods.
Can I combine a back lift with other procedures?
A back lift is most commonly needed after significant weight loss (achieved through either natural methods or bariatric surgery) so you may have excess skin in other areas of your body as well. A back lift is often combined with an arm lift (brachioplasty) and/or a breast lift (mastopexy) for an upper body lift. A back lift can also be combined with other body contouring surgeries like a thigh lift (thighplasty) or tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in a custom after weight loss treatment plan. Tell Dr. Kasden about all your areas of concern so he can create a comprehensive treatment plan that fits all your goals.
Will a back lift leave a visible scar?
During your consultation, Dr. Kasden will discuss where the incisions for your back lift surgery will be placed. Typically, the incisions are made across the back leaving a thin line along your back. For female patients, scarring can be easily concealed with a bra. Most patients consider the small, thin scar a small drawback in comparison to the discomfort of the loose, excess skin they had before the surgery.
When should I get a back lift?
After you lose a larger amount of weight, you should give your body time to adjust and recover before considering surgery. You should give your skin some time to shrink and contour to your new body shape to minimize the amount of skin that needs to be removed. You should also be at a healthy, stable weight before your back lift so it is easier to maintain your results after surgery.
How long will the results of a back lift last?
If you maintain a steady weight after your back lift surgery, your results should be long-lasting. Your skin will continue to age naturally, which may cause an increase in skin laxity over time. During your follow-up appointments with Dr. Kasden, you can ask for recommendations to maintain your results and keep your back toned.
