Question

I’m already scheduled for an extended tummy tuck and bra roll lipo. Hoping I don’t need an upper body lift to take care of this roll on my back?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The answer to this depends upon the amount of fat in those areas and the abilities of the surgeon to retrieve that fat.  With the right PS, you should see a big improvement from lipo of the bra line area.  A tummy tuck and a posterior lower body lift can be performed in one surgery and is referred to as a circumferential lower body lift, lower body lift or belt lipectomy.  The incision goes around the waist 360 degrees and helps tighten the abdomen, sides, back, outer thighs, and buttocks.  These results can be very dramatic.

Nikesh K. Patel, MD · Answer

Liposuction of the bra-roll is only going to target the fat that is located on the mid back in the area where the bra sits and some of the area that falls or hangs down onto the lower back.  Any fat that is on the sides of your body, also referred to as love handles or medically, flanks, is an additional area of the body and therefore will not be treated in a bra-roll liposuction procedure.  Lipo 360 is a good option for anyone who has excessive fat in the entire midsection area because it targets the entire area, removing unwanted fat from the abdomen, flanks/love handles, and the bra-roll, to create an overall smaller, thinner waistline.  As always, it is important to express the goals and desired results with your board certified plastic surgeon prior to surgery so that you can work together with them to make sure that you get the most desirable results from your surgery.

Thank you for your question. Lipo to bra roll will help. May not completely flat and may have some residual skin fold. Just have to wait and it see after surgery.

yes liposuction will definitely improve the appearance. An upper body lift is really meant for sagging skin after massive weight loss, not your appearance!

The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. Based on the picture submitted above, it seems VASER liposuction paired with Renuvion skin tightening alone will be able to eliminate your back roll. This is because Renuvion skin tightening will coagulate the skin and lift it without the need for an incision as typical back lifts require. A Skype or Facetime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
