Do I need lipo on my bra rolls or is it just loose skin?

Question

I have a BBL scheduled in a few months and I'm worried about my back. My concern is that if I get lipo on my bra rolls , will my skin hang even more? I am 5'6 , 155 pounds. A couple years ago when I weighed 125 pounds I really didn't have those rolls. So I am hoping most of it is fat.

I would say you appear to have a combination of both. Liposuction will help decrease the amount of fat in this area and might be able to have the skin appear better. Your skin may or may not look better however. Cool Sculpting is also a great option for the bra line area if you want to try something non surgical first. Good luck!

It appears as though liposuction will be nice for you.  However, some patients need an upper back lift to remove excess skin.

Michael Brucker, MD · Answer

I get asked this question frequently and unfortunately, liposuction alone (regardless of technique--Coolsculpting, Vaser, tumescent, etc) will not tighten your skin to eliminate skin folds. Some skin retraction will occur but your back will not be smooth with liposuction only. For patients who can accept the scar, I perform liposuction with a midback lift which works very well to smooth the back and reduce the troublesome fat in that area. Liposuction alone, especially if performed aggressively, will only make the skin look looser and worse. Consult with board certified Plastic Surgeons who have extensive training in these procedures.  Best of luck!

You really need a hi definition procedure I suggest you see a VASER 4D sculpting physician. In this procedure we removel all the torso (including the bra and full back fat), arms, inner thighs fat ... define the stomach and use the fat to contour the buttock and/or breasts.  Best, Dr. Emer.
