What Causes Unwanted Fat?
While putting on weight or undergoing severe weight loss from bariatric surgical treatment can affect the fat levels on your upper and middle back, aging is also associated with this problem. The excess soft tissue or fat rolls in these areas are stubborn and challenging to rectify, even with proper diet and exercise.
A Bra-Line Back Lift is a perfect solution for this issue as it:
- Removes fat rolls and bumps in the bra-line area
- Revitalizes lax upper and middle back tissue
- Produces a smoother, more attractive outline
If you’re considering a Bra-Line Lift, set up a consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons. They can evaluate your candidacy and recommend any necessary additional Body Lift procedures that may enhance your results.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Anyone with lax skin in the upper backside can undergo the procedure. You should be in good health and ideally a non-smoker. If you smoke, it is essential to quit before the treatment. You should also not suffer from severe health conditions like high blood sugar or hypertension, which can lead to complications.
If you are pregnant or nursing a baby, you may need to wait for a later time. You must discuss your medical history with your surgeon at length to avoid last-minute surprises.
Consultation with a Surgeon
All important aspects regarding the Bra-Line Back Lift will be discussed during your consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons. You’ll be provided with pre- and post-operation requirements, and all details about the surgery will be explained. You can ask any questions to ensure that you are fully aware of all aspects of the procedure.
Pre-Procedure Care
- Maintain a healthy diet.
- Quit smoking at least a month before the procedure to avoid healing problems.
- Stop taking blood thinners, certain vitamins, and herbal supplements a few weeks before the surgery.
The Procedure
Your doctor will mark your skin as a guide for incisions. General anesthesia will then be administered to begin the surgery.
During the operation, the surgeon will make an incision across the marked area to remove excess sagging skin. The surgeon will then reconnect the back skin in a tighter manner. The entire operation usually takes about 90 minutes to complete.
Results of Bra-Line Back Lift
The results of a Bra-Line Back Lift are impressive and long-lasting. However, they take time to become visible, as the wounds need to heal completely and the muscles must recover properly.
This is a long-term, safe, and effective technique to target excess fat in the back, particularly along the bra line. After the procedure, your back will appear smoother and flatter.
Keep in mind that maintaining your post-op weight is essential to preserving your Bra-Line Back Lift results. Even slight weight gain or loss could affect the outcome.
