What will get rid of the rolls on my back? How much will it cost? (photos)

Rolls of the upper back need to be excised. A horizontal incision is used to remove the extra skin, leaving a long horizontal scar that is placed so it is hidden by your bra. Liposuction is frequently done simultaneously.

First and foremost, you should lose the weight you desire. After that, the plastic surgeon who takes you on will be able to determine the type of procedure that needs to be performed.

I find it highly unlikely that your skin's elasticity will be able to correct the laxity you already have. Therefore, I believe skin removal will be the only option. However, the final result will certainly be much better than what you would have without undergoing this surgery.

Good luck with your weight loss effort.

To address the back rolls, you may need more than just liposuction; skin removal might be necessary. This procedure is known as a "braline lift," which is similar to a tummy tuck but for the upper back.

While it’s understandable to want to start with the least invasive option, the best approach in your case for optimal results would be liposuction combined with skin excision—this is what the braline lift involves. Liposuction alone would remove the superficial fat, but it could also leave you with loose skin, which might lead to issues like irritation or infection.

Liposuction will definitely help thin out those areas. Unfortunately once a fold of skin has been established, that will likely not correct itself without direct excision, leaving scars in exchange for redundant skin. Another consideration is the use of new weight loss medications that are very effective at helping patients lose weight. With an overall reduction in your BMI any of these procedures become easier with more reliable outcomes and fewer complications. I would discuss weight loss options with your primary care doctor or make an appointment with a certified plastic surgeon to develop your surgical options.

Thank you for your question. The best option depends on your skin's elasticity and the amount of fat remaining after you’ve reached your target weight. If your skin still has good elasticity, liposuction alone can reduce back rolls. If there is significant skin laxity after fat removal, liposuction alone might leave the area looking loose, and this is when some patients consider a back lift. Since you’d like to avoid a lift, you should reach your goal weight first, and then your surgeon can assess whether your skin can tighten enough after liposuction to achieve the results you want. Sometimes, combining liposuction with radiofrequency skin tightening (such as BodyTite or Renuvion) can improve firmness without removing skin.

To address the rolls on your back, the first step is typically reaching your goal weight this ensures longer-lasting and more defined results. After that, the best way to determine the right procedure is through a personalized consultation with a plastic surgeon.
From the photos alone, it’s difficult to give an exact recommendation, but in many cases, a back lift is the most effective solution for excess skin and stubborn fat rolls in that area. While the procedure does leave a scar, when done by an experienced surgeon, it can heal beautifully and is often worth it for the dramatic and permanent results.
The cost can vary, but when combined with other procedures, it generally ranges from $2,800 to $3,500 USD. A consultation will give you a more accurate quote and help create the ideal plan for your goals.

Thank you for your inquiry! Based on the photos, a back lipectomy, could be an option. We would love to sit down with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.

This can alternatively be managed by doing a power assisted liposuction followed by delivering RF energy both internally as well as externally with morpheus8. Following three weeks, after a assessment is made , your plastic surgeon may consider more sessions with morpheus8 for achieving optimal results.

Hi there! First off, congratulations on taking steps toward your health goals—you're doing great! I totally understand wanting to feel more comfortable and confident in your body.

For those back rolls, we have a couple of options that might be just what you're looking for:

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that can specifically target and remove the fat in your back area. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for noticeable, quicker results.

If you’re leaning towards something non-surgical, CoolSculpting might be a good fit. It’s a fat-freezing treatment that gradually reduces fat in the targeted areas. The results are more gradual, but it’s non-invasive and has minimal downtime.

Given your weight loss goals, combining these treatments with ongoing weight management through diet, exercise, and potentially Ozempic—which can aid in weight loss—can yield the best long-term results.

We can discuss your goals in more detail during a consultation to determine the most appropriate approach for you.

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. There are two issues with your back bra roll areas. One is excess fat and the other excess skin. In general, liposuction of the back bra roll area makes a very nice difference and helps you feel more comfortable in clothing. However, you will have loose skin after surgery which can be treated surgically if you desire once everything has healed from the liposuction.
