Loose skin on back can it be corrected? (Photos)

Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to meet with you to discuss your goals. Depending on the amount of skin laxity, maybe a body lift. You have some options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

The problem is that your back skin is loose and the surgeon told you that a energy based device could tighten skin. What's done is done, and replacing fat will never look good regardless of what you said about your regret. Your only path forward is ignoring it and moving on or an upper body lift, which will smooth it out completely; the resultant scar would be at the bra line.

Thank you for sharing your photos and detailed explanation.
The good news is: Yes, this can be improved.
✅ A revision liposuction session focused on smoothing the transition zones (especially between upper and lower back) can help greatly.✅ Fat grafting to the surrounding area may be needed to restore volume and soften creases.✅ Post-liposuction massage therapy (2–3 times a week) is also key in helping prevent fibrosis, mobilize tissue, and refine the outcome.
You’re not alone in this concern — and a customized secondary treatment plan can go a long way in getting you the smoother, more natural contour you’re after.

Thanks for your question! Additional liposuction could be done below the crease to help soften it. You could also consider something like Venus Legacy for some moderate skin tightening. If all else fails, you may need skin excision surgery (but that seems extreme for your body). Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your photos and details. In cases like this, options may include fat grafting to restore volume and smooth the contour, or a skin excision (such as an upper or lower back lift) to address redundancy. Additional fat removal is unlikely to help and could worsen the issue.A consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in body contouring would be the best next step to assess what approach suits you.

To make a quality assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.If you don’t have before, and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.Skin laxity can limit someone’s potential for quality Liposuction outcomes.If we don’t know what your skin condition was like before that we can’t really assess the outcome.I generally always treat the entire back if doing liposuction of the abdomen waste and love handles.If the back isn’t treated, then the patient comes out looking like a wedge.It’s not a good feminine look and looks more masculine. Well done, Liposuction of your entire back and under arm area would probably be beneficial.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
