Good Morning, I had a tummy tuck almost two years ago and am now trying to address excess skin in my back. However, unlike a tummy tuck which is pretty standard and the information is easily accessible; I have found it difficult to find distinctions and similarities between many of the terms or procedures completed to resolve this problem. Due to the scar placement I am inclined to feel that a Bra Line lift is right but I have also read that its close to 10k in cost and I'm able to spend about 6

Answer: Braline Backlift for excess back skin Thanks for your question and as always I recommend being evaluated by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making any decisions on surgery. Based on your photos I think you could do very well with a braline backlift. It's an operation that is really designed to remove stubborn excess skin and fat on the upper back and what's really great about this procedure is that it can also lift up loose skin on the lower back as well. The incision heals very nicely with time and the procedure can be combined with others (such as a tummy tuck or breast lift) to create a very dramatic difference in body contour. Spend some time looking for surgeons in your area who do this procedure-- it's one that can really change how your clothes fit and feel!

Answer: Bra Line Lift Although it's difficult to formulate a treatment plan without a physical examination, your history suggests that your loose skin primarily involves your upper back. Under these circumstances, a Bra Line Back Lift might provide an excellent result. 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.
