Back Lift Surgery
Why Choose
A smooth, defined back. No more bra rolls. Complete upper-body confidence. The back is one of the most overlooked areas in body contouring — yet excess skin and fat on the back and sides can cause significant distress. 'Bra rolls' (bulges of skin and fat that push over the band of a bra), posterior waist skin excess, and loose skin across the upper or lower back are common concerns — particularly after significant weight loss or with ageing.
A back lift surgically removes this excess skin, tightens the tissue, and creates a smooth, defined back contour. It is frequently combined with arm lift or lower body lift as part of an upper or full-body post-weight-loss contouring plan.

Types of Back Lift
Upper Back Lift (Bra Line Back Lift)
Removes excess skin and fat from the upper and mid-back — specifically targeting the bra-line rolls. The scar is placed precisely along the bra band line — hidden under any bra or bikini top. One of the most intelligently hidden scars in body contouring surgery.
Lower Back Lift Removes excess skin from the lower back. Often incorporated into a lower body lift or extended tummy tuck to address the posterior waist. Full Back Lift Addresses the entire back from bra line to waist. For patients with significant circumferential skin excess following massive weight loss.
Back Liposuction For patients with excess fat rather than excess skin — and good skin elasticity — liposuction alone effectively removes bra rolls and back fat without the need for skin excision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the back lift scar show in everyday clothing? The bra-line back lift scar is placed to align exactly with a standard bra band — making it invisible in all bras, bikini tops, and most everyday clothing. The lower back scar is placed within the underwear line.
Do I need a back lift or just liposuction?
Patients with good skin elasticity and primarily fatty back rolls may achieve excellent results with liposuction alone. Patients with poor skin elasticity or significant skin excess after weight loss will need skin excision for an optimal result. A clinical assessment determines this.
