If I had lipo on my back in May 2023, can I just get the bra back roll removed? (Photo)

Hello, it depends on the technique that each surgeon has for the back lifting procedure, in my case I perform liposuction first and then remove the excess skin, but if your question is if the skin can be removed, if it is possible.

Hi Glorious438965, Thank you for your question regarding "If I had lipo on my back in May 2023, can I just get the bra back roll removed?" Yes, you can have your bra back roll removed. This upper back lift/reduction procedure is common for weight loss patients. During the horizontal torsoplasty, an incision is made across the upper back. With the horizontal torsoplasty, the incision follows the bra-strap and the resulting scar usually is hidden under your bra. A butterfly-shaped area of upper back skin and fat is removed. This procedure takes about 4 to 5 hours to complete. With a vertical torsoplasty, an incision is made on each side from your armpit down your sides to the top of your hip. A large ellipse of excess skin and fat is removed from each side. The vertical torsoplasty takes about 4 to 5 hours to complete.
Both the horizontal and vertical torsoplasty are performed under general anesthesia and are out-patient surgeries. Usually, drains stay in place for about two weeks. Plan a two to three recovery. The horizontal and vertical torsoplasty procedures are not covered by insurance.
I hope that I have answered your question regarding whether you can get your bra back roll removed. Good luck with your upper back skin abd fat removal surgery. Sincerely, Dr. J.T. Katzen.

From your photo it appears you would benefit from a bra line lift as well as further liposuction. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals for surgery. Together you can determine the appropriate surgical plan to match your desired outcome.
