Braroll Excision (Upper Backlift)

---

An upper back lift removes excess skin and tissue of the upper, mid, and lower back to

eliminate bra roll fullness and restore a smoother, more defined contour. This procedure is

especially beneficial after weight loss or aging when skin laxity persists despite exercise,

improving overall back contour and upper body proportion.

It is called a bra roll excision because the incision is strategically placed within the bra line

across the mid back and extends laterally beneath the breast. This allows the incision to

remain hidden when wearing a bra or bikini while achieving optimal contour improvement.

During consultation, your surgeon will assess skin laxity and determine the precise amount

of tissue removal and optimal incision placement required.

Recovery:

• 1 week resting at home

• Minimal postoperative pain is expected

• No drains are required

• A compression vest with sleeves is worn to support healing and reduce swelling

• Sleeping on your back is required to protect the incision and optimize healing

• Avoid raising arms above shoulder level for 4 weeks

• Avoid excessive upper body strain during early recovery

• Full recovery at 6 weeks.
