Liposuction of the Back

Procedure: 1–2 hours • Stay: day-case or 1 night • Recovery: 1–3 weeks

What is it?

Back liposuction sculpts the upper and lower back by removing localized fat deposits (bra rolls, flanks) to create a smoother torso silhouette. Can be combined with flank/waist liposuction for comprehensive contouring.

Who is a candidate?

• Patients with discrete fat rolls on the upper or lower back despite weight loss and exercise.
• Good skin elasticity enhances results; candidates should have realistic goals.

Procedure & skin tightening options

Small incisions used for cannula access and fat removal. Energy‑assisted devices can be applied to promote skin contraction. For more severe laxity, surgical excision may be discussed.

Benefits & recovery

• Improved contour with minimal scarring; compression garment advised.
• Visible improvement within weeks; final results by 3 months.

Aftercare

• Compression wear, limited strenuous activity for 3–4 weeks, maintain stable weight.
