Over the years, many people in Charlotte experience unwanted changes to their bodies, even if they work hard to keep fit and stay in shape. Sagging skin or bulging areas of excess fat can lead people to avoid certain clothing choices or wearing a bikini at the beach. Despite exercise, those pockets of fat in specific areas may remain persistent. One of the most common trouble spots for many people is the bra-line area of the upper back. With aging, sagging skin and rolls may occur in this area and persist over time.

At Queen City Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Enam Haque offers the bra-line back lift procedure, a surgical option that can remove those lumps, bulges, and sagging skin from the upper back area. This procedure can be completed on its own or combined with liposuction for fat reduction. With a well-hidden incision, this procedure can produce a beautiful contour and a more youthful-looking back area. Many people report increased body pride and confidence as a result of this procedure. A bra-line back lift in Charlotte can create a slimmer, smoother line that can enhance your appearance in any situation. Dr. Haque can provide you with a detailed and individualized program of treatment that can help you to rejuvenate the look of your back and body.

What is a Bra-Line Back Lift?

This procedure may be a good option for people in Charlotte who want to see the skin in the area around the bra line to be tightened or lifted. A bra-line back lift may be a good fit for people with loose or sagging skin in the back area; this type of skin can develop over time with aging or after significant weight loss. Folds of the skin may also be found below the shoulder blades. Dr. Haque may advise combining this procedure with liposuction for maximum effect.

In most cases, this procedure is most appropriate for women, as women, in particular, tend to develop sagging skin in this area due to sun exposure and aging. However, there is a range of body contouring procedures that can help people of all genders in Charlotte to rejuvenate their appearance and reduce the signs of aging or the sagging skin that may remain after significant weight loss.

What are the Benefits of a Bra-Line Back Lift?

This procedure can eliminate sagging skin, fat rolls, and excess bulges in the area around the bra line while rejuvenating the overall appearance of the upper back. It can produce a smooth, slim contour for an attractive appearance in a bra or bikini or under clothing. The incision and any remaining scarring will typically be a thin line that normally sits beneath a bra or a bikini.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Bra-Line Back Lift?

A bra-line back lift may be a great option for generally healthy adults who are dealing with unwanted sagging skin or back fat in the bra-line area. In most cases, this procedure is recommended for non-smokers, as smoking may increase the risks associated with surgery. Dr. Haque will review your medical history and provide specific recommendations about how the bra-line back lift may work for you.

What is the Procedure Like?

Dr. Haque performs this procedure in a conveniently located surgery center. In most cases, the procedure takes around two hours to complete. Using an incision at the bra-line area, Dr. Haque will remove excess folds or bulges of skin and then close the incision for a smoother, tighter contour. You can expect to fully enjoy the results of your procedure in six months to a year after the surgery.

What is the Recovery Period After a Bra-Line Back Lift?

Dr. Haque and his staff at Queen City Plastic Surgery will provide you with detailed, specific guidelines for your recovery. Typically, you may return to wearing a bra of your choice in the second week after your surgical procedure, although a comfortable bra with a wide strap may help to support your recovery. Dr. Haque will provide guidelines for when you may return to exercise, heavy lifting, baths, or raising your arms above your head. In most cases, you may return to greater levels of physical activity after around two weeks of recovery.
