A bra line upper back lift may be performed in combination with liposuction to further enhance the waistline and profile. This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia in approximately two hours. An incision is made across the treatment area, through which excess fat is removed and excess sagging skin is excised. Back skin is tightened, and the incision is closed with sutures.
You may return home after surgery, but you will need someone to drive you and assist you for the first part of your recovery. You will need to abstain from strenuous activity and may experience limited upper body movement. You will not be able to wear a bra for the first two weeks, and only a loose-fitting bra for the following two weeks. Some bruising, swelling, or numbness is to be expected and should subside in time. You will likely feel well enough to return to work in approximately two weeks after surgery.
Despite its name, the bra line upper back lift is not intended only for women. Anyone who has sagging back fat in the bra line area may be a candidate for this procedure. Significant weight gain, dramatic weight loss, and aging can all contribute to sagging skin and excess fat in the mid-back region. A bra line upper back lift may be recommended for men and women who want the following:

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.
Because he believes that listening is the most critical aspect of the patient-doctor relationship, Dr. Savalia will take the time during your initial consultation to make sure all of your questions and concerns get answered. Consultations with Dr. Savalia are relaxed and informative, never rushed or impersonal.
