A Back Lift, sometimes referred to as a bra line back lift, upper body lift, or back lipectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the upper and mid-back area. This procedure is ideal for those who have experienced significant weight loss, aging-related skin laxity, or a genetic predisposition to excess back tissue. This procedure focuses on specific areas such as the bra line, upper back, and sides of the torso to improve contours and create a smoother, more toned appearance.
The choice between a Back Lift vs. liposuction depends on each individual's specific concerns, desired outcomes, and candidacy for each procedure. A Back Lift is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions along the bra line or upper back to remove excess skin and fat and tighten underlying muscles if necessary. Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the suction of excess fat deposits through small incisions using a cannula. A Back Lift provides more comprehensive results by addressing both excess skin and fat, while liposuction primarily targets fat reduction.
A Back Lift can enhance the overall aesthetic of the back area and boost confidence for an incredible improvement in overall quality of life. You can wear swimwear, lingerie, and formal attire you've been avoiding with a smooth and sculpted back area. Our patients see outstanding benefits that include:

When performed by a qualified professional, Back Lift surgery is typically not associated with serious risks. Possible rare risks that are present with many surgeries could include infection, anesthesia complications, or bleeding.

While the procedure does involve the removal of loose skin and excess fat pockets, it is not considered a weight loss method, and patients will not see considerable changes on the scale after this procedure.
