or patients looking to reduce fat that has accumulated in their upper or lower back, they will be pleased to know that the back is one of the best areas for liposuction. In the back, we can use a highly aggressive approach without being concerned about excess skin or damage to surrounding tissues. In fact, some of the most dramatic results from liposuction can be seen when it is applied to the back. The back can be divided into several areas for liposuction. These areas include: infra scapular fat, posterior axillary fat, posterior waist fat, lumbo-sacral fat pad and buffalo hump. This procedure is easier on patients who have not lost significant amounts of weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the back liposuction performed?
A surgical liposuction procedure or lipoplasty is used to reshape and smooth your back. It removes fat deposits that have become resistant to normal dieting and exercise regimens.
What are the risks in back liposuction?
The average patient does not suffer any major complications from the procedure. A small portion may experience minor side effects like bruising and swelling (for up to 2 months) that will ultimately subside. Small scars from the procedure may form, but these will also heal after a few weeks.
What is the recovery time after back liposuction?
During the recovery period of 8-10weeks, it is important to rest and take care of your body. Drink plenty of water and limit sodium intake to recover faster from the post-operative swelling. Some patients may have to wear a compression garment while they are in bed.
