Procedure
Bra line back lift is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure maximum patient safety and relaxation throughout the whole procedure. The procedure is a day case procedure so the patient can go home on the same day.
The first stage of the procedure involves performing liposuction using ClearLipo™ to remove excess fat from the area. An incision is then made across the back that is used to cut off the excess skin, and the incision is then stitched up with dissolvable sutures. The scar is made in an area that can be easily hidden underneath the bra or bikini strap.
The procedure can help get rid of multi-back rolls by smoothing them out during the surgery.
Recovery
Following the bra line back lift surgery, there will be some swelling and bruising that will fade away over time. It usually takes up to 10 days to fully recover, however, strenuous activities must be avoided for at least 3-4 weeks. Pain medication can be taken to ease any discomfort felt during the recovery period.
You should expect an aesthetically pleasing appearance of their rear view after having excess fat and skin removed. The bra bulge and back rolls will be gone, and will now appear flat. The circumference of the upper back will also be reduced giving a naturally appealing appearance.

We searched for many different surgeries to perform my procedure but the center for surgery really stuck out. The staff were incredibly friendly and the receptionist Gregory and surgeon Omar were highly professional, welcoming and made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Old implants removed and replaced, plus silicone granules removed from right armpit. My previous surgery was done over 20 years ago. (I never really had any breast tissue, so I had the implants to look normal). One implant had erupted and both had capsulated. I was never told they had a shelf life! When I first arrived at the clinic in Watford, ( I never went to th Harley St surgery) I was quite dubious about the whole set-up. The Surgery is right in the middle of a Business Site and it seemed like some sort of Back Street Butchery. (I hope this review will put people's minds at rest when they first arrive) It actually didn't help much that I had to wait an hour because the surgery that day had overrun, however, after talking to Omar Tillo and seeing how clued up he was on my situation, I began to relax. It didn't stop me going on-line to Google him and everything else about the practice, but it was all good. On the day of the surgery, I met with Mr Tillo again. I also met everyone else who was going to be in theatre with me and they all came to me individually to explain their roll. It was very comforting and reassuring. The surgery was quite lengthy and took several hours. I hadn't decided what size implants to go for pre surgery as my old ones were so distorted and out of place, so I left it with Mr Tillo to make the decision once the others had been removed. It is now 3 weeks since the implants were replaced and I am delighted with how I look and feel. The size and shape are perfect for me. Nothing weird or huge; I'm on the wrong side of 50 now so am not looking for glamour, just normality. The post surgery is superb. My coordinator, Naz, is very efficient and can't do enough for me. The incision in my armpit where the silicone particles had to be removed is probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole procedure, but most of you won't have to worry about that. I got a sick note for work purposes without any fuss at all, so over all; worth every penny! Don't let your first impressions put you off :-) Good luck.

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks and 4 days ago. It is something I had been considering for a whilst now that I have completed my family. Also the excess skin and fat was getting me down. I went to another consultation in Harley Street which was 15 mins where the Dr examined me and told me he could do the work and his secretary than called me with the price, it was very rushed. I found Dr Tillo searching the net and after reading his reviews I called his office and spoke with Naz, she was very friendly, explained their procedures and arranged an appointment for me to meet with him. I met Dr Tillo in his Watford clinic, I felt at ease with him straight away. Dr Tillo examined me and than explained what the procedure would involve. I had a few questions and he was very patient and explained everything fully and clearly, I never felt rushed at all.On the day of my operation I was excited. Dr Tillo’s staff were All lovely and so was the anethesist who explained everything and next thing I knew I was asleep. When I woke up it didn’t even feel as if though I had had an operation! My husband picked me up , I was given pain killers and it was explained that I would need to keep my compression belt on and drains would be removed after two days.I went home a very happy lady!!!As days have passed I have healed very well with no complications, I am so pleased with my new tummy, I know it’s good esp since my 3 year old doesn’t think there’s a baby in there anymore!I cannot Thank Dr Tillo and his staff enough!!

Dr Tillo and his team are fantastic. Nothing has been too much for them!!I was told my tummy tuck would cost £17,000 at one clinic and £13,000 at another. It was considerably cheaper here. I'm not one to go for 'the cheaper options usually, as I tend to think you would get a cheaper result. But Dr Tillo pointed out that I didn't need all the work doing that the other places had said I did!! They were using my body to make money! Due to his honesty, and his non judgemental view, I left feeling confident that he was the man I needed.I am only a week out and thrilled to bits with my result so far. I can't recommend them enough.
