Will a bra line back lift remove skin that was missed during a tummy tuck? (Photos)

A bra line lift will address the upper portion of the back. It will not impact the hip/flank area. f you are having a standard tummy tuck you may wish to incorporate liposuction of the hips and flanks to further define and sculpt your curves.

"Thank you for your question. If you're considering between a standard tummy tuck now and an extended tummy tuck, it's often better to wait until you can afford the extended tummy tuck. This approach typically yields more comprehensive and cohesive results, especially if you're looking to address excess skin and fat around the abdomen, sides, and lower back. Waiting to have the procedure that best aligns with your aesthetic goals is usually more satisfying in the long run.

Thank you for your question and pictures. Whether you do a standard TT or an extended TT, this will not fully resolve the excess back skin/rolls and you would need to have a bra line lift in the future to fully correct this excess skin. So, I think that a standard TT will be fine and at later date the bra line lift.
Be sure to see a Board-Certified PS for your consultations.

Regardless of the type of tummy tuck you have that back roll will not be improved. It will require excision by a scar on your back.

In my experience, Vaser ultrasound liposuction of the bra/back area removed stubborn fat and tightens skin, usually avoiding back lift scars.

This can be performed with a tummy tuck to improve 360 contour of the bra/back.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations.
