I am a 44 year old female. I may have to have a spinal fusion due to severe scoliosis. Would it be possible to have a bra line back lift after my procedure? Should I do the back lift procedure first?
Answer: Should be possible if they only worked through a vertical scar (and is fully healed) Often times an upper back-lift/bra-line scar doesn't need to connect in the midline/over the spine (unless truly redundant tissues there as well), but the scars need to be carried fairly anteriorly into the axillary/underarm areas to adequately address "bra rolls".

Answer: Health first I consider you should get done the back fusion surgery first and 6 months later the back lift because the back surgery may ruin the plastic surgery results.

Answer: Can I have a bra line back lift after a spinal fusion back lift expert torsoplasty brastrap lift bra lift horizontal torsoplast Hi Celticangel1980, Thank you for your question regarding "can I have a bra line back lift after a spinal fusion?" Thank you for your history. The answer is "yes, you can I have a bra line back lift after a spinal fusion". Most plastic surgeons would suggest that you have functional problems corrected before elective plastic surgery procedures. Therefore, have your scoliosis surgery first and then, consider a back lift. The medical term for a back lift is torsoplasty. There are two main types of backlifts or torsoplasties: horizontal and vertical. During a horizontal torsoplasty, an incision is made across the back and a butterfly-shaped area of upper back skin and fat is removed. The incision is horizontal and across the back. Usually, the horizontal torsoplasty scar is hidden under a reasonable bra. The benefit of the horizontal back lift over the vertical torsoplasty is that more skin and fat can be removed and that the scar is hidden. The other type of back lift is the vertical torsoplasty. During a vertical torsoplasty, an incision is made from the armpit towards to top of the hip. A large elliptical area of skin and fat is removed from side. The benefit of the vertical torsoplasty as opposed to the horizontal torsoplasty is that the vertical torsoplasty can create more of an hour-glass (or Coca-Cola) body shape and helps to flatten the abdomen.

Answer: Am I a candidate? As you are planning surgery for your scoliosis you should proceed with that first. Once you are fully healed and have received clearance from your surgeon you can schedule a consultation for the back lift. Best wishes!
