A bra-line back lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper back, particularly in the area where a bra sits. The surgery helps smooth and firm the back, reducing rolls or folds for a more toned appearance.
It is often performed alongside an arm lift and mastopexy as part of a comprehensive upper body lift, creating a balanced, smoother, and more youthful contour across the entire upper torso.
A bra-line back lift is ideal for individuals with loose, sagging, or uneven skin along the upper back and bra-line area, often resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging. Suitable candidates should be in overall good health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations regarding the procedure’s results and recovery process.
A bra-line back lift can help improve the shape and appearance of the upper back by removing excess skin and fat, creating a smoother, firmer silhouette. The procedure offers several benefits, including:
These benefits make a bra-line back lift an effective option for those looking to refine their upper back and achieve a more toned, youthful appearance.
A back lift starts from approximately £6,000, an all-inclusive price that covers your initial consultation, the surgery itself, and all post-operative care and follow-up appointments. Final costs may vary depending on the amount of skin removed, whether additional procedures like liposuction are needed, and your individual treatment plan. Your surgeon will review all pricing details, options, and personalised recommendations during your consultation.

Everything you need to know about buttock lift surgery
What is a buttock lift?
A buttock lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the buttocks to lift, firm, and improve their shape. It’s often combined with other body contouring procedures like a tummy tuck or lower body lift.
ho is a good candidate for a buttock lift?
Ideal candidates are adults in good overall health who have sagging or loose skin in the buttock area due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. Candidates should have a stable weight and realistic expectations.
Does a buttock lift increase the size of my buttocks?
No, a buttock lift reshapes and tightens the buttocks but does not add volume. For added fullness, it can be combined with a buttock augmentation using fat transfer or implants.
How long does a buttock lift take?
A buttock lift typically takes 2 to 3 hours, but if combined with other procedures such as a lower body lift, it can last up to 6 hours.
What is the recovery time after a buttock lift?
Most patients can return to light activities within 2–3 weeks, but full recovery may take 6–8 weeks. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during the first few weeks.
Are there risks or complications with a buttock lift?
Yes, as with any surgery, risks include infection, scarring, bleeding, asymmetry, and delayed wound healing. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon can help minimise risks.
How much does a buttock lift cost?
Prices start from around £9,000, typically covering the consultation, surgery, and post-operative care. Final costs depend on the extent of the procedure and whether additional treatments like liposuction are needed.
How should I prepare for a buttock lift?
Preparation includes a medical review, physical exam, blood tests, and discussing your goals with your surgeon. You may be advised to stop smoking, avoid certain medications, and maintain a stable weight before surgery.
