Bra Line Back Lift™

Excess fat along the bra line is a common concern for women, even if they are at their ideal weight. Excess skin along the armpit and upper back can bulge out of the bra and show in certain clothing. The back fat roll above or below your bra line typically occurs as we age, and in many cases, it can’t be reduced with exercise.

What is a Bra Line Back Lift™?

A Bra Line Back Lift™ is a surgical procedure that is designed to create a tighter, more toned back contour. During this procedure, Dr. Repta removes excess fat and loose skin along the bra line to achieve a slim, sculpted appearance that provides an attractive look in a fitted bra, strapless dress, or otherwise figure-hugging clothes.

Benefits of a Bra Line Back Lift™

A Bra Line Back Lift™ is an ideal treatment for women because it can provide many benefits, including restoring confidence. Benefits include the following:

A more contoured, appealing upper back
Youthful rejuvenation
Excess skin and tissue that roll over the bra strap are removed
A smooth, uniform contour from the upper to the lower back is created
The scar is a thin line that is easily hidden beneath the bra
Improved self-esteem
Short recovery time
Procedure is low-risk
Achieves a more elegant, sculpted fit in bras, bikinis, and lingerie
Chafing and irritation from rubbing skin are eliminated
The procedure can be performed with local anesthesia
Results are long-lasting

The Bra Line Back Lift™ Procedure

A Bra Line Back Lift™ is typically performed under general anesthesia, but this procedure may also be performed under local anesthesia.

Once the anesthesia takes effect, an incision is made across the back. Dr. Repta will use liposuction to remove any bulging fat and then remove excess skin and tissue. He will pull the remaining skin taut to achieve a smooth, tight contour. This incision is then sutured shut with special care, ensuring your scar can be easily hidden beneath a bra or bathing suit.

Recovery

After your procedure, you will wear compression garments to help minimize swelling and to aid in shaping your torso attractively.

Avoid wearing a bra for 1-2 weeks, and do not raise your arms above your head, take a bath or sit in a hot tub. You may shower within 24 hours after your surgery. Do not engage in strenuous exercise for several weeks.

After two weeks, you may wear a comfortable bra again and begin to slowly increase your activity level.

Who is a candidate for a Bra Line Back Lift™?

Ideal candidates for this procedure are individuals who are experiencing sagging skin or fat bulging around the bra line. This is often caused by the natural age progress or significant weight loss. While candidates are typically women, men can be candidates as well if they would like to remove back fat rolls or sagging skin in the area. Candidates should meet the following general requirements:

Are generally healthy
Do not smoke
Are at a healthy weight they feel they can maintain
Are not taking or can stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements
Have reasonable expectations about what this procedure can accomplish
