Torsoplasty in Houston, TX

For individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, loose skin along the upper back and bra line is often a lingering concern. This stubborn area usually does not respond to diet, exercise, or non-surgical treatments. In these cases, Dr. German Newall performs a specialized surgical procedure called torsoplasty. It’s a solution that helps patients finally address upper excess back skin and complete their body transformation.

What is Torsoplasty? 

Torsoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that removes stretched, redundant skin from the torso (upper back and sides of the chest), specifically targeting the lateral and posterior chest wall. These areas are commonly affected by skin laxity after significant weight fluctuation or aging. The procedure aims to create a smoother, more contoured upper-body appearance.

Who Benefits From Torsoplasty? 

Torsoplasty is ideal for individuals who have successfully lost weight but struggle with loose, sagging skin in the upper back and bra line area. The procedure treats stretched skin—not excess fat—that can be difficult to address with diet, exercise, or non-surgical treatments. 

You may be a good candidate for torsoplasty if you: 

• Have maintained a stable weight after significant weight loss 
• Experience sagging or redundant skin along the upper back, bra line, or flanks 
• Feel limited in your clothing choices due to bulging skin or poor fit 
• Are not a candidate for liposuction alone
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for surgical results

In addition to physical improvements, patients report feeling more confident, comfortable, and free in their everyday lives following the procedure. For many, torsoplasty is the final, empowering step in completing your weight loss transformation. 

Your Personalized Torsoplasty Procedure 

A renowned, board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive body sculpting expertise, Dr. Newall tailors each torsoplasty to suit patients’ unique contours and needs.

• Comprehensive consultation: He begins by assessing the extent of skin laxity and gaining a thorough understanding of your goals. 
• Meticulous surgical technique: Excess skin is removed through discreet incisions, which can often be hidden within the natural bra line. 
• Firmer, smoother contours: Results balance and enhance your silhouette, allowing clothes to fit more comfortably. 

In some cases, Dr. Newall combines torsoplasty with liposuction or advanced technologies like BodyTite to refine the surrounding areas further. This approach is particularly helpful for patients with small pockets of residual fat or mild skin laxity, allowing for even more impressive results. It’s also common among patients undergoing a body lift and other post-weight loss procedures.

What to Expect From Recovery 

Recovery after torsoplasty typically involves wearing compression garments to minimize swelling and support healing. Patients are advised to take time to rest and follow Dr. Newall’s postsurgical instructions closely. While healing experiences vary, most patients find the recovery manageable and well worth the outcome. 

Dr. Newall and his team provide detailed guidance and attentive follow-up care to ensure a safe, smooth recovery every step of the way.
