Removes excess skin from the side of the back through a vertical incision, for laxity that runs down the flank.
Liposuction Back Contouring

Why is the Upper Back Lift More Affordable in Turkey?
Many UK patients see a £3,000 upper back lift and assume the saving must come from somewhere. It doesn’t. The gap is economic — a favourable exchange rate, lower overheads and bundled logistics — with the surgery led by a consultant in a JCI-accredited hospital using CE-marked materials.
The comparison is rarely like-for-like, either. A UK quote usually lists the surgeon’s fee and then adds the anaesthetist, theatre and follow-ups, which is how a £6,000 headline climbs higher. Our price folds it all into one all-inclusive figure, fixed before you travel.
The detail that matters on the back is where the scar goes. An upper back lift trades the rolls for a fine line placed along the bra line, so it stays hidden under a bra or bikini — but it is a trade, and we’ll be honest about it. If your concern is mainly fat with firm skin, liposuction alone avoids the scar entirely; the lift is for loose skin and rolls that won’t shift, often after weight loss. That straight talk is our “rejuvenation, not alteration” approach, and your aftercare follows you home to the UK rather than ending at the airport.

Jakayla USA
Had a deep plane facelift and lower eyelid procedure at AKM Clinic 7 months ago. The results are fantastic - very subtle and natural. I didn’t expect the entire experience to be so comfortable. Hande managed everything and kept in contact even after I returned to USA. I’m beyond pleased with the outcome and the care I received. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Frequently Asked Questions About Upper Back Lift
How much does an upper back lift cost in Turkey?
At AKM Clinic it starts at £3,000 all-inclusive, with the technique confirmed at consultation. Privately in the UK it typically runs £6,000–£9,000.
What is a bra-line back lift?
It removes the rolls and bulges on the upper back, with the scar hidden along the bra line so it’s concealed by a bra or bikini top.
Will the scar be visible?
It’s placed to sit under your bra line, so it stays hidden in most clothing and swimwear, and fades over 12 to 18 months.
Do I need a back lift or just liposuction?
If it’s mainly fat with firm skin, liposuction alone works. Loose skin and rolls need excision — the lift.
Is a back lift usually done after weight loss?
Often, yes. It’s popular after major weight loss and can be combined with an arm or breast lift in one operation.
