At Evolve Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in back lift and bra roll skin removal procedures. These surgeries target excess skin and fat in the upper back, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Remove Bra Rolls and Elevate
Upper Back Contours

Back lift and bra roll skin removal are specialized cosmetic procedures designed to address excess skin and fat deposits in the upper back area, often referred to as “bra rolls.” These procedures aim to smooth and contour the back, creating a more toned and youthful appearance. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or those with skin laxity due to aging.

During the procedure, our board-certified plastic surgeons make precise incisions to remove excess skin and fat. The remaining skin is then tightened and sutured to create a more streamlined look. The result is a smoother back profile with reduced bulges, enhancing your overall silhouette and boosting your confidence. As with any surgery, a consultation with our experienced team is essential to determine the best approach for your individual needs.

Your Back Lift/Bra Roll Skin Removal Journey:
Before, During, and After

Before Back Lift/Bra Roll Skin Removal

Before your back lift or bra roll skin removal procedure, you’ll have a detailed consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this meeting, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Our surgeons will conduct a physical examination and develop a personalized treatment plan for you. Pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications and quitting smoking, will be provided to ensure the best possible results.

During Back Lift/Bra Roll Skin Removal

Your back lift or bra roll skin removal is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Our surgeons will make horizontal incisions across the targeted area, typically along the bra line, to minimize visible scarring. They will use advanced liposuction techniques to remove excess fat and trim away surplus skin. The remaining skin is then lifted and sutured for a tighter, smoother contour. The procedure usually takes 2-4 hours.

After Back Lift/Bra Roll Skin Removal

After your back lift or bra roll skin removal, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. You’ll need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the healing tissues. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but full recovery may take several weeks. It’s important to follow post-operative care instructions and attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. Avoid strenuous activities until your surgeon gives you the go-ahead.

  • Reduction of bra line bulges for a more flattering fit in clothing
  • Long-lasting results with proper maintenance
  • Customized treatment tailored to individual needs
  • Minimal visible scarring with advanced surgical techniques

Back Lift/bra Roll Skin Removal FAQs

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The duration of the back lift or bra roll skin removal typically ranges from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of correction required.

Will There Be Visible Scars?

Incisions for back lift/bra roll skin removal are strategically placed along the natural folds of your back, often along the bra line, to minimize visible scarring. While some scarring is inevitable, it typically fades over time and can be easily concealed with clothing.

What is the Expected Recovery Time?

Initial recovery usually takes about one to two weeks, during which you may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but full recovery, including the resumption of strenuous activities, may take several weeks

When Can I See the Final Results?

You will notice an immediate improvement in your back contour after surgery, but it may take several months for the swelling to subside fully and for you to see the final results. Regular follow-up appointments will help monitor your progress and address any concerns.
