Bra Line Lift in Long Island, NY
Stubborn back rolls can detract from your appearance, making certain clothing look less than ideal. What’s worse is this is often an unfortunate side effect of losing weight: your skin doesn’t retract enough, leaving loose folds. While diet and exercise have little effect on the skin, a bra line lift is a surgical procedure specifically designed to target this issue with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Am I a Candidate for a Bra Line Lift?
Patients with excess skin and lax tissues throughout the upper back might benefit from a bra line or upper back lift. These issues are typically not solved by exercise, but surgery can provide remarkable results. Candidates for a bra line lift:
- Exhibit loose skin and/or loose tissues in the upper back
- Are bothered by rolls of skin and tissue
- Want a smooth, contoured back
- Are nonsmokers, or are willing to quit
- Have reasonable expectations for results
Upper back lifts are particularly beneficial for post-weight loss patients, as weight fluctuations are a primary cause of excess skin. This procedure can also be paired with other body contouring procedures for a more cohesive result.
If you’re tired of loose skin detracting from your appearance and affecting your clothing choices, you may be a candidate for a bra line lift. Call Daniel Bienstock, MD, FACS, today at (516) 776-9988 or fill out our contact form to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bienstock.
What Are My Bra Line Lift Options?
Losing weight for your health and self-confidence is a wonderful thing—there’s no reason loose skin and tissues should detract from all your hard work. Through a simple incision across the back, Dr. Bienstock can tighten loose tissues and remove excess skin for a long-lasting result. The resulting scar is easily hidden under a bra strap or bathing suit.
Dr. Bienstock often combines upper back lifts with other procedures for a complete, cohesive revision. Some popular combinations include the following.
Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift, sometimes called a belt lipectomy, removes excess skin and tightens muscles throughout the lower body (buttocks, thighs, hips, lower abdomen), usually to the benefit of post-weight loss patients.
Breast Lift
Due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or even weight loss, the breasts can begin to sag and become misshapen. A breast lift removes redundant skin and tissue to eliminate sagging, lifts the breasts higher on the chest, and can also reposition the nipple-areolar complex for a more youthful, pleasing shape.
Are There Alternatives to a Bra Line Lift?
Not every patient needs or wants to undergo surgery for their excess back skin, which is why Dr. Bienstock sometimes recommends an alternative treatment for patients with milder concerns.
Through a combination of liposuction and Renuvion® skin tightening, he can create a smoother, more youthful contour without the need for more invasive measures. Another benefit to this procedure is limited scarring, as incisions for liposuction are very small and can also be used for the Renuvion® step.
How Much Does a Bra Line Lift Cost in Long Island?
The cost of a bra line lift in Long Island depends on the specifics of your surgical plan, including the level of necessary revision, anesthesia, and facility fees, and whether you have combined your procedure with any others. Once you meet with Dr. Bienstock during your consultation, he will create a customized plan for you and provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
