Bra Line Lift
Lift the breasts with scars hidden by your bra
The bra line back lift — and by extension, the bra-line breast lift — is designed specifically to hide all surgical scars beneath the natural bra line. For patients who prioritise scar concealment, this approach allows significant lifting while keeping all evidence of surgery invisible in everyday clothing.
Unlike a traditional mastopexy with periareolar and vertical scars, the bra-line technique positions the excision scar along the lower breast — directly beneath where a bra band sits. The breast tissue is elevated and supported from below, and the resulting scar is entirely hidden by standard underwear or swimwear.
Key Benefits
- All scars concealed beneath the bra line — invisible in everyday clothing
- Effective breast elevation and reshaping
- Suitable for patients whose primary concern is visible scarring
- Can be combined with implants for simultaneous augmentation
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Women with moderate breast ptosis seeking a lift with hidden scars
- Patients for whom traditional mastopexy scarring is a primary concern
- Those with good skin elasticity in the upper breast
- Women who routinely wear underwire bras that would conceal the scar

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this technique work for all degrees of sagging?
It is most effective for mild to moderate ptosis. Severe drooping may require additional scars for optimal correction — this is assessed at consultation.
Can the bra-line lift be combined with augmentation?
Yes — implants can be placed simultaneously for patients who want both volume and lift.
