Does A Vertical Backlift Complement Rib Removal Surgery?

Q: Dr. Eppley, mTo complement rib removal surgery, I would like you to perform resections of the dorsal muscles, liposuction, and a corset-style back lift to amplify the effects of the surgery.

A: The vertical backlift to which you refer can be done provided one has adequate lax back skin to make it effective without creating undue tension on the mid line resultant back scar down the center of the spine.
