Would I be a good candidate for the bra line back lift? Loss 60 lbs then became pregnant right after. Even when I was size 8 I still had back rolls. Would the bra line back lift smooth my back?
Answer: Bra Line Back Lift?
I would start with liposuction of these individual rolls to debulk them. Some the rolls will be vastly improved or removed with liposuctioned. The remainder can then be removed with the back lift. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction and body contouring procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

CONTACT NOW Answer: Look back at it! Thank you for your question and for uploading photos! Although my exam is limited, it appears from the photo you uploaded that you have a combination of excess fat and a significant amount of loose skin, which is leading to all the rolls on your back. In order to have the best results, you will need to address both of these things with liposuction of the back along with a back lift. The liposuction would remove all of the excess fat, and the back lift would remove all of the excess skin and leave you with a horizontal scar in the bra line area. This procedure would give you a smooth and flat back. Less invasive options including liposuction and skin tightening (with bodytite or laser) would provide improvement, however in a patient with significant excess skin this option would not give you a smooth back even with multiple treatments. Please make sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Considering a Bra-Line Back Lift? Thank you for your question about the possibility of a bra-line backlift. After evaluating your provided history and pictures, I believe you would indeed significantly benefit from this procedure, also known as a Horizontal Torsoplasty, bra strap plasty, or bra plasty. In a bra-line back lift, the incision is made across your back, towards your buttock, allowing excess skin and fat removal, generally in a butterfly shape. The incision is then closed in multiple layers using sutures, resulting in a smoother, flatter back. In my professional opinion, the bra-line back lift or horizontal Torsoplasty would achieve optimal results for your case. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: The Treatment Of Upper Back Fat Although it's difficult to formulate a treatment plan without a physical examination, your history and posterior view picture suggests that you would be a good candidate for a bra line back lift. Unfortunately, without further information, it's difficult to know if this should be your primary procedure. Your picture also demonstrates what looks like significant amounts of redundant lower back skin and your clothing may obscure buttock sag as well. Under these circumstances, you may also be a candidate for a lower body lift procedure.If this is the case, a lower body lift should be performed first. This could be followed at a later date by a bra line back lift to remove residual skin and fat. This procedure is designed to place the incision in the bra strap area. The procedure removes excess skin and lifts the back skin in an upward direction.If you're considering treatment of this condition, it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to perform an evaluation and formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.
