Hello all!!! I'm having a tummy tuck with anchor cut March 20 and was wondering does this help with back fat on your sides????? I asked my doc and he said a little but was wondering what everyone else thought

I had the Anchor Cut TT and LBL and will be returning for an Upper Body Lift in the fall to get that upper back fat and excess skin removed.  the assistance from the TT is very minimal for the back issues.

I had the same surgery last May and I can tell you it did not remove the back fat or side fat.  I am having the back side lifted and outer thighs lifted next month to complete the entire LBL.  Dr. said this will take care of all other sagging skin problems.

Is there a reason you havent looked into a full LBL, or that your surgeon hasnt recommended one?  That will address many of the issues you mentioned (tummy, lower back, love handles) and also your outer thighs and butt.

I had a LBL and it did address the lower love handles, slightly, but I will say my back looks amazing (I never realized just how fat & lumpy it was) after th e UBL.  I had it in December and just the other day put on a fitted shirt and thought, holy cow!  My Mom thinks that I grew from the surgery.  She swears I am taller. :-)

I may have had a few extra potholes along the way, but the journey has been good!

I totally agree Amy!  The UBL just finished off the upper back and side boobs.

The LBL pull down on the lower back, up on the butt, up and down on your outer thighs and up/down on your front.
