Say goodbye to back fat

Say goodbye to back fat

April 17, 2017

With warmer weather comes lighter clothing. And for some women, that means open-backed dresses and swimwear. And the back is also where fat can accumulate. There’s a relatively new procedure to remove the excess back fat, it’s called the bra-line back lift.

In this procedure, the plastic surgeon removes a band of excess tissue 8 to 10 inches wide across the back. The incision is made where the bra strap runs across the back, so any incision scar will be hidden. The result is a natural looking, toned back.

In one review of the procedures, researchers write that "the low complication rate, brief recovery time, and high level of patient satisfaction make this a desirable procedure for surgeon and patient alike."
