Are you tired of dealing with back rolls under layers of compression wear? Instead of hiding the problem, remove it. At Northwest Face & Body, our Bra Line Back Lift re-sculpts the mid-back through a single, bra-concealed incision, replacing bunching fabric with a permanently sleeker silhouette that moves as freely as you do.

What Is a Bra Line Back Lift?
A bra line back lift, also known as “bra-roll lift” or “upper-back lift” is a body-contouring procedure that removes the loose skin and stubborn fat that collect along the mid-back, just beneath the shoulder blades. During surgery, the surgeon excises a narrow, horizontal ellipse of tissue and closes the incision so it sits precisely within the line of a standard bra or swimsuit strap. The result is a smoother, flatter back profile with a scar that stays hidden under everyday clothing.
Key Benefits
- Smooth, uninterrupted back profile no rolls above or below the strap
- Better posture comfort as excess weight and skin pull are relieved
- More clothing options without compression garments or high-rise shapewear
- Discreet scar placement fully covered by bras, swimsuits, and sports tops
- Long-lasting results when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle
Who is an ideal candidate for a bra line back lift in Bellevue?
- Stable weight for at least six months after major weight loss or pregnancy
- Noticeable loose skin or “folding” along the upper-mid back (below the shoulder blades)
- Good overall health, non-smoker or willing to quit six weeks before and after surgery
- Realistic expectations about scar length, healing time, and maintenance
Consultation at NW Face & Body
Your journey starts with a personal consultation in our Bellevue or Kirkland office, where we review your health history, medications, and weight-stability to confirm candidacy; use Vectra® 3-D imaging to simulate scar placement and refine how much skin to remove; and talk through your wardrobe preferences, activity level, and recovery timeline so the surgical plan fits your life as well as your body.
Before you leave, you’ll receive a transparent, all-inclusive quote and a clear outline of next steps, ensuring you know exactly what to expect from scheduling to final results.
Bra Line Back Lift Surgery at The NW Face & Body
At NW Face & Body , the procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia and takes about two to three hours. Our surgeons work through a slim horizontal incision that sits exactly where a standard bra or swimsuit strap will cover it. After you are comfortably anesthetized, the lax skin and any stubborn fat are trimmed away, the underlying tissues are gently tightened, and the incision is closed in layered sutures to help the scar heal flat and secure. A light compression wrap is placed before you leave the operating suite, and most patients head home the same day with simple instructions for walking, showering, and garment care.
Recovery & After-Care
The bra line back lift is an outpatient procedure, so you’ll head home the same day with a light compression wrap and clear instructions. Expect mild soreness and swelling, but most patients are back to desk work within a week.
- Days 1–7: Keep the wrap on full-time, take gentle walks, and avoid lifting your arms above shoulder height.
- Weeks 2–3: Stitches dissolve; bruising fades. You can switch to a soft sports bra and resume light daily activities.
- Weeks 4–6: Gradually return to full workouts while continuing to wear compression during exercise.
- Months 3–12: Massage the scar with silicone gel, protect it with SPF, and maintain a stable weight for long-lasting results.
Results & Longevity
A noticeably smoother back line starts to emerge once swelling settles usually around four to six weeks while the final contour becomes evident by the three-month mark. As the scar matures over the next 12–18 months, it fades to a thin, skin-toned line that stays hidden beneath a standard bra or swimsuit strap. Because the excised skin cannot “grow back,” results can last a decade or longer, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Future pregnancies or significant weight fluctuations may loosen the remaining skin but rarely recreate the pronounced “bra roll” that prompted surgery in the first place.
Cost & Financing
After your private consultation, we’ll provide a personalized, all-inclusive quote that covers surgeon fees, anesthesia, facility, post-operative visits, and your first-stage garments so there are no surprise costs later. To make treatment accessible, Northwest Face & Body offers multiple payment paths, including CareCredit®, Alphaeon®, and flexible in-house 0 % financing plans.
