Back Lift
Back lift or bra line excision is a procedure that removes the excess skin and fat of the upper back. Similar to other procedures performed following weight loss, the bra line excision can eliminate this problematic area that can make wearing a bra difficult. This procedure is often combined with liposuction for additional contouring.

Procedure Overview
A back lift addresses loose, sagging skin along the bra line or lower back, creating a smoother and more defined upper body contour. By removing excess tissue and carefully reshaping the area, the procedure enhances overall body proportions and clothing fit.
Your back lift consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Griffin will evaluate the degree of skin laxity, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. Incision placement, recovery timeline, and potential combination procedures will be reviewed so you can make an informed decision about surgery.
What to expect
Back lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are strategically placed to be concealed within natural creases or bra lines whenever possible. Swelling and bruising are expected during early recovery. Most patients return to light activities within a few weeks, with continued improvement as healing progresses.
