I have seen the scars of this lift and of all the scars I will have from getting skin removed all over my body this is one I really don't like. But from pinching my skin I think an extended TT that goes a little more into the sides and a simple cut and skin removal just under my arm should be enough to take some of those folds away. It wouldn't be as tight as a full cut going towards the center of my back but that is fine for me. I have a lot of muscle I need to restore. Thoughts?

Answer: Bra Line Back Lift Options It's important to understand that no two patients are ever exactly the same. For this reason, it's important to tailor procedures to meet patients individual needs. This will depend upon their anatomic findings and aesthetic goals.In this particular case, it's reasonable to perform an abbreviated bra line back lift. This procedure should be able to remove excess fat and skin without excessive scars and, hopefully, still accomplish your aesthetic goals.If you're considering this type of surgical procedure, it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Modified Back Lift Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) If you are willing to accept the scars of a skin excision just under the arms, doing a limited excision may be reasonable. A physical exam is still necessary to confirm that you are a candidate for such a procedure. If you decide to pursue surgery it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic goals. Best of luck! Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D.
