Contour Your Back After Weight Loss

After losing a significant amount of weight, it’s common to struggle with excess back skin and fat. If these tissues persist despite diet and exercise, a bra-line back lift with Dr. Wingate can create a dramatically tighter and more streamlined contour. With a bra-line back lift, Dr. Wingate can: 

  • Remove back rolls around the bra line
  • Excise sagging skin due to significant weight loss
  • Contour a slender torso
  • Create a smooth, firm, and fit-looking back

The Surgery  

Dr. Wingate will perform your bra-line back lift under general anesthesia. Once the medication has taken effect, he will create a horizontal incision right where your bra line would typically sit. This ensures that the resulting scar will be hidden with a bra or bathing suit.
 
Through that opening, Dr. Wingate will first perform liposuction to extract any excess fatty deposits. Then, he’ll surgically remove excess skin to create a tight and slim body contour. To complete the procedure, he will smooth your skin and close the incisions with sutures.

The Recovery + Results

You can expect a recovery of one to two weeks after your bra-line back lift. Your initial results will be visible immediately, but it will take several months for all the residual swelling to subside.  

Bra-Line Back Lift Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have visible scars?

A bra-line back lift will leave a horizontal scar along your back. However, it will be hidden when you’re wearing a bra or a bathing suit.

Am I a candidate for a bra-line back lift?

You may be a candidate for this surgery if you have a BMI under 30, your weight is stable, and you want to remove excess fat and skin around your bra line.
