Upper Back Lift in Houston Texas

An Upper Back Lift helps to remove excess skin of the upper back for a slimmer contour, free of skin rolls.

The Oaks Plastic Surgery

What is an Upper Back Lift?

An Upper Back Lift, or bra line lift, is a surgical procedure that treats excess skin of the upper back regions. At The Oaks Plastic Surgery (TOPS), our patients often complain of excess skin in this area after weight loss or with age. As with many plastic surgical procedures, the surgical technique used to address this area depends on the severity of the excess skin. In mild cases, certain non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures can be performed to help tighten and lift the excess skin and fatty tissue. In other cases, surgery is required to achieve maximum results. Extensive measures are taken by Dr. Danielle Andry or Dr. Nandi Wijay to conceal these scars as best as possible and use aggressive scar management techniques to keep the scars as light and inconspicuous as possible. The techniques used by The Oaks Plastic Surgery will keep the scar hidden behind the bra line.

What do you want from an Upper Back Lift?

Upper Back Lift procedures are often a careful balance between scarring and contour. While everyone’s goal is to maximize contour and minimize scarring, sometimes a trade off must exist. At The Oaks Plastic Surgery we take care to place the scar behind the brassiere. The surgeons at The Oaks Plastic Surgery want to work with you to achieve your specific goals.

Why to have an Upper Back Lift at The Oaks Plastic Surgery in Houston, Texas?

Many of our patients who have undergone massive weight loss or have developed excess back skin with age are very self-conscious about this area. They complain that clothes don’t fit correctly and are bothered by excess skin rolls. Patients also have problems with excess moisture under the skin which causes hygiene issues. Some patients simply desire a sleeker, tighter looking back in a dress or swimsuit. An Upper Back Lift can help you achieve this sleek contour and help you feel better about your arms in clothing and swimsuits.

Upper Back Lift procedures are often a careful balance between scarring and contour. While everyone’s goal is to maximize contour and minimize scarring, sometimes a trade off must exist. At The Oaks Plastic Surgery we take care to place the scar behind the bra line brassiere. The surgeons at The Oaks Plastic Surgery want to work with you to achieve your specific goals.

What procedures are often performed along with an Upper Back Lift?

Many patients seeking an Upper Back Lift have undergone massive weight loss and require removal of excess skin from several areas of the body including the arms, abdomen, thighs, breast, and face. Dr. Danielle Andry and Dr. Nandi Wijay spend a large part of their training working with one of the innovators in body contouring surgery after massive weight loss. They have experience in both staging and combining many of these massive weight loss body contouring procedures and can counsel their patients on the timing and progression of these surgeries.
