Removes excess skin, enhances upper back contour, and improves self-esteem.
A bra line lift, also known as an upper back lift or bra line back lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper back, particularly around the bra area. This procedure tightens and smooths the skin, eliminating back rolls and creating a more sculpted appearance. It’s especially popular among male and female patients who have lost a significant amount of weight or are looking to address sagging skin in the area where the bra line falls on women.
Dr. Carpin customizes each bra line lift to ensure the final result aligns with your aesthetic goals, enhancing both your appearance and confidence.
Your experience begins with a thorough consultation to identify your goals and create a personalized surgical plan tailored to your needs. Dr. Carpin will take the time to learn about your needs, answer all of your questions, and help you understand the expected results. On the day of surgery, general and local anesthesia are administered for your comfort. Dr. Carpin makes precise incisions along the bra line, strategically placed to ensure scars are concealed within clothing or swimsuits.
Excess skin and tissue are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to achieve a smooth, contoured appearance.
If needed, liposuction may be incorporated to address excess fat deposits. Once the lift is complete, the incisions are carefully closed, and compression garments are applied to aid the healing process and reduce swelling.

Dr. Carpin’s meticulous attention to detail ensures that each patient achieves a natural and seamless outcome. A bra line lift offers both aesthetic and emotional benefits:
The ideal candidate for a bra line will be in good general health and at a stable weight, as weight fluctuations can influence your results. It's important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. This procedure is especially suitable for those who have excess skin on the upper back due to significant weight loss or aging.
Patients planning further weight loss or those with certain medical conditions may not be ideal candidates. Dr. Carpin will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine the best treatment plan for you.
Recovery from an upper back lift typically takes a few weeks. Patients can generally return to light activities within 1–2 weeks and can resume exercise and strenuous activities after 4–6 weeks. Wearing compression garments during the initial healing phase helps reduce post-procedure swelling and supports the skin.
Pain medication may be prescribed to manage discomfort, and follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and monitor progress. Dr. Carpin provides personalized aftercare instructions for the best results.
The results of a bra line lift are transformative and long-lasting. Patients enjoy a smoother, more defined upper back, with scars concealed under clothing or bathing suits. As swelling subsides over several weeks, the full effects of the lift become apparent, revealing a rejuvenated and contoured silhouette. Maintaining a stable weight ensures these results remain permanent.
