The upper back is a common problem area where excess skin and fat can accumulate, especially after significant weight loss or as part of the natural aging process. For women, this often results in bulges or folds that are visible around the bra line, making clothing fit less comfortably and affecting overall confidence. Exercise and diet alone cannot correct this concern once loose skin develops.
At Cosmetic Surgery Specialists of Memphis, Dr. Peter Aldea and Dr. Patricia Eby perform upper-back lift procedures, also known as bra-line lifts, to remove excess skin and create a smoother, firmer contour. As board-certified plastic surgeons with years of experience in body contouring, they provide precise, natural results that restore confidence and comfort.
What is an Upper-Back Lift?
An upper-back lift is a surgical body contouring procedure that targets excess skin and fat in the upper back region. During the procedure, an incision is made along the bra line where it can be hidden under most clothing. Through this incision, excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened to create a smoother, more toned back contour.
This procedure is especially effective for patients who have experienced major weight loss or aging-related skin laxity. Recovery generally takes one to two weeks, with patients able to return to most normal activities shortly afterward. Scars are well concealed within the natural bra line.
Who is a Good Candidate for an Upper-Back Lift?

- Struggle with excess skin or bulges around the bra line
- Have experienced significant weight loss resulting in loose back skin
