Back Lift Surgery in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur

For many, the decision to undergo a bra line back lift isn't just about appearance. It's about confidence, self-esteem, and the desire for physical comfort. Excessive or sagging skin on the back can create unsightly bulges around the bra line. This might limit wardrobe choices, lead to discomfort, or even result in skin irritation. A bra line back lift offers the possibility of regaining a sense of comfort in one's own skin.

What is Bra Line Back Lift Surgery?
A bra line back lift is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the upper and middle back to smooth and contour the back's appearance. The incision is typically made along the bra line, making it easily concealable under clothing.

Dr. MacArthur is a top-rated Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa specializing in bra line back lift surgery. He is the Medical Director at New Age Medical Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, one of the busiest surgical centers in the city.

What to Expect During Surgery:

Anesthesia

Bra line back lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. This means you will be comfortable and asleep during surgery.

Incision

Dr. MacArthur will make an incision along the bra line.

Removing Excess Skin

Excess skin is removed, and if necessary, liposuction can also be performed to remove unwanted fat.

The skin is then sutured together, creating a tighter and smoother back.

Natural Results

During surgery, Dr. MacArthur implements modern bra line back lift techniques for the most natural results.

Post Surgery Expectations:

Immediate Recovery

You may need to wear a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling.

Pain & Discomfort

Some discomfort is natural but can be managed with prescribed pain medication.

Activity Limitations

Avoid strenuous activity for several weeks.

Long Term Results

As swelling subsides, you will begin to see improved results within a few months.

What to Expect After Surgery:

Recovery

You might experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Cold compresses and medications prescribed by Dr. MacArthur can help manage these symptoms.

Activity

Most people can return to work or normal activities within a week or two. However, strenuous activities, including heavy lifting, should be avoided for at least a few weeks.

Results

The results of a brow lift can last several years. However, nothing can stop the natural aging process. Regular skin care and protection from the sun can help maintain the youthful appearance achieved by surgery.

Arrange for a Ride

Make sure you have someone available to drive you home post-surgery and assist you for the first day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Back Lift Surgery

While cosmetic surgery can offer dramatic changes, it's essential to have realistic expectations. Results can be transformative, but individual factors such as skin elasticity, age, and overall health play a role in the final outcome. A qualified plastic surgeon will provide a realistic picture of what to expect.

How long is the recovery time?

Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities in 1-2 weeks. However, full recovery and return to all activities may take up to 6 weeks.

Are there visible scars?

The incision is made along the bra line, so scars, while present, are usually hidden under bras or swimsuits.

Are the results permanent?

While this surgery offers long-lasting results, factors like significant weight fluctuation or aging can impact the longevity of results.

What are the most popular procedures performed with bra line back lift surgery?

Many patients seeking a holistic transformation choose to combine a bra line back lift with:
1) Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift: Enhances the size and shape of the breasts.
2) Tummy Tuck: Removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal region.
3) Liposuction: Targets and removes fat deposits from various body parts.
