I have back fat, especially on my upper and lid back. I am considering sculpsure over lipo but not sure if I am a good candidate. Had. Photo consult and was told that flanks and the small roll are no problem but the upper back may be an issue because the machine may have to sit on my shoulder blades. So it could hurt or they may not be able to do it at all. Is that true? Also, will sculpsure get rid of significant fat in that area or am I wasting money? If so,how many sessions per area? Help!

Answer: SculpSure vs. Liposuction for Back Fat Hi and thank you for your question! Liposuction is the "gold standard" treatment for fat reduction and no non-surgical treatment modalities would come close, but it comes with (relatively) high cost, higher risk and longer recovery/downtime. I don't see a reason why you cannot try SculpSure to reduce the fat in the back area if you want to avoid surgery for any reasons, but you need to set your expectations realistically. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. SculpSure is most effective for body shaping and contouring, rather than significant weight loss. I suggest that you move forward and consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy.

Answer: Sculpsure? Sculpsure is an excellent option for limited areas of subcutaneous fat excess. Treatment of the entirety of the outlined area of the back will likely require multiple applicators and sessions over several months. This seems highly impractical unless one has some sort of medical contraindication to liposuction.Additionally, I would venture to guess that liposuction would also be more economical as repeat sessions with multiple applicators can become costly over time.Based upon your photos, you would be a reasonable candidate for liposuction.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
