What is
Back Liposuction?

Back liposuction is a body contouring procedure that targets excess fat in the upper and lower back. It is commonly used to sculpt areas such as the bra line, flanks, and lower back bulges. As one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, liposuction offers a focused approach to refining the back’s silhouette. The surgery typically lasts between one and three hours, depending on the extent of fat removal. By addressing stubborn fat deposits, back liposuction helps create a smoother, more streamlined appearance.

Our Advanced Liposuction
Techniques

Ultrasonic Liposuction

Ultrasonic liposuction uses high-frequency sound waves to break down fat cells before they are removed from the body. This method is particularly effective in fibrous areas where traditional liposuction may be more challenging. By liquefying the fat first, the procedure allows for smoother contouring and greater precision. Patients often opt for this technique to remove excess fat from areas such as the back, thighs, and abdomen. It is a versatile option that enhances results while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

The procedure involves the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. Our surgeon carefully separates the foreskin from the underlying skin before excising it in a controlled manner. Precision is key to preserving function and ensuring a smooth contour.

Power-Assisted Liposuction

Power-assisted liposuction uses a specialized vibrating cannula to break up fat more efficiently, making it easier to remove. This method is especially helpful in treating areas with stubborn fat that has not responded to diet or exercise. The controlled motion of the cannula enables faster procedures with reduced strain on the surgeon’s hands. Patients often experience less bruising and swelling due to the gentler technique. It is frequently used for larger treatment zones, such as the back, abdomen, and flanks.

Preparation for
Back Liposuction

Preparation for back liposuction begins with a comprehensive consultation, where Dr. Solomon evaluates the patient’s goals, medical history, and suitability for the procedure. Preoperative steps often include lab testing, medication adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations to support healing and safety. Maintaining good physical fitness is encouraged, as it can enhance recovery and improve surgical outcomes. Patients are typically advised to stop smoking and avoid certain medications that may increase bleeding risk. Clear pre-surgery instructions help ensure a smoother experience and optimal results.

Back Liposuction
Overview

Anesthesia

Back liposuction may be performed under either local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment and the number of areas involved. Local anesthesia is often suitable for minor contouring procedures, while general anesthesia is typically used when treating multiple areas or when a more comprehensive approach is necessary. The choice of anesthesia is determined during the preoperative consultation to ensure comfort and safety.

Small Incisions

The procedure begins with the creation of small incisions strategically placed along the upper and lower back. These incisions are typically hidden in natural skin folds to minimize visible scarring. Through these entry points, a cannula is inserted to dislodge and suction out fat deposits. The use of small incisions enables precise fat removal while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue.

Back Fat Removal

Once the incisions are made, Dr. Solomon uses a specialized technique, such as ultrasonic, laser-assisted, or power-assisted liposuction, to break down and remove fat cells. This step is crucial in targeting back fat, which can be dense and resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Solomon carefully sculpts the area to create a smoother, more contoured back profile.

Completion and Closure

After the desired amount of fat has been removed, the incisions are closed, often with dissolvable sutures or left open to drain, depending on the surgeon’s preference. A compression garment is typically applied to help control swelling and support the healing tissues. The entire procedure generally takes one to three hours, with the duration varying based on the techniques used and the number of treated areas.

Add-On
Procedures

Breast Fat Transfer

Immediately after undergoing a mini facelift, patients are monitored briefly before being discharged to recover at home. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected but manageable with prescribed medications and cold compresses. Keeping the head elevated helps minimize inflammation. It is essential to rest, limit movement, and follow aftercare instructions closely to reduce the risk of postoperative complications during this initial period.

Brazilian Butt Lift

The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses fat from areas like the back or flanks to add fullness and contour to the buttocks. After liposuction, the fat is processed and strategically injected to improve shape, projection, and balance. This body contouring approach achieves both slimming and enhancement in one procedure.

Skin Tightening

By the second or third week, residual swelling continues to fade, and visible signs of surgery become less noticeable. Many individuals feel comfortable returning to work and social activities, especially with makeup to conceal minor discoloration. At this stage, the healing process progresses significantly, and the contours of the face start to appear more refined and natural. Continued care, including sun protection, helps support skin recovery.

First 24 Hours

During the first 24 hours, rest is essential as the body begins the initial phase of the healing process. Compression garments are typically worn to reduce swelling and support the newly contoured areas. Mild discomfort, bruising, and drainage from incision sites may occur, but these symptoms are manageable with prescribed medication and proper care. Patients are often able to walk around gently within this period, which promotes circulation and aids in recovery.

Week 1

By the end of the first week, swelling and bruising may still be present, but they gradually begin to subside. Most patients resume light daily activities during this time, as the procedure is associated with minimal downtime. Compression garments remain essential for maintaining contour and continuing to reduce swelling. Early signs of healing progress become more noticeable, although full results are still developing.

Individuals at or near their ideal body weight
Adults with localized fat deposits on the upper or lower back
People with minimal to moderate skin laxity
Patients in overall good health and without significant medical issues
Non-smokers or those willing to stop before and after surgery
Those with realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery
Individuals seeking contouring rather than weight reduction

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is awake liposuction, and should I choose this procedure?

Awake liposuction is a technique performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain conscious during the fat removal process. It can be an option for those seeking less invasive treatment with quicker recovery. However, most liposuction procedures are still done under general anesthesia or sedation, especially when multiple or larger areas require treatment. The choice depends on the extent of fat removal and individual patient needs.

How long should I wear a compression garment after liposuction?

After plastic surgery like liposuction, wearing a compression garment is crucial to support healing and reduce swelling. Typically, patients are advised to wear the garment for several weeks, often covering the entire midsection, depending on the treated areas. Following the surgeon’s specific instructions on duration and garment use helps optimize results.

Can fat cells return after liposuction?

Fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge if weight gain occurs. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular diet and exercise, is essential to preserve the results. Without these habits, weight gain can cause fat accumulation in other areas of the body.

Can I combine liposuction with other body contouring procedures?

Liposuction can be safely combined with other cosmetic procedures such as tummy tuck, thigh lift, and arm lift. These surgical excision techniques address excess skin that liposuction alone cannot remove, helping patients achieve comprehensive body contouring. Combining procedures is often tailored to meet individual goals and improve overall body shape.

What is the maximum amount of excess fat that can be removed during a single liposuction?

The maximum volume of fat that can be removed during liposuction varies. Generally, plastic surgeons do not consider it safe to remove more than five liters (nearly 11 pounds) of fat in a single session. However, this limit can vary depending on the patient’s health status and the surgeon’s judgment.

Are postoperative complications possible after liposuction?

While liposuction is generally safe, postoperative complications can occur, including issues with fat equalization or contour irregularities. A thorough review of medical history and careful surgical techniques help minimize these risks. Following postoperative care instructions closely also supports a smooth recovery.
