Our Location

What is a bra line back lift? This is a procedure where excess rolls of skin and fat that are present in the upper back and lateral chest are surgically removed and sutured together with a resulting scar hidden in the bra line. This condition of excess skin in the bra roll and back is very common with massive weight loss patients but also with aging and lesser degrees of weight loss. Women typically have this procedure because they are tired of the excess skin that accumulates and prevents them from wearing certain types of clothing and bathing suits. Excess skin protrudes over the bra straps and is unsightly. It is very commonly combined with a mastopexy or breast lift where the incision goes entirely around from the back to the front. Although the scar that results after the incision never goes away it usually can be hidden by most bathing suits or bras. The procedure can be performed without mastopexy but typically the incisions are carried around to the front of the chest since most patients have loose skin that extends from the lateral part of the breast all the way to the back.

This 39-year-old woman had undergone a duodenal switch about 10 years ago losing over 200 pounds going from 360 lbs. down to 155 pounds. Dr. Lyle performed abdominoplasty several years ago and she underwent brachioplasty with breast lift (she did not want implants) and bra line back roll lift. She was very pleased with her new figure.
