What is this fat/indent on the side of my back? Would I be a good candidate for body sculpting? (Photo)

Question

i am a 4’11 and 80lbs female, so i am underweight but for some reason i have A LOT of fat in this area of my body. even at a higher weight it was there and way worse, that is my main reason for weight loss (to get rid of the back fat. but it doesn’t seem to budge. i am sure it is fat because i can pull on it and stuff, i have it on both sides. i am just confused on why i have it THERE considering i see it on no other females and i am underweight.

Hello dear. The fat on the sides of your back is localized fat, commonly influenced by genetics, posture, and hormones. Even if you're underweight, the body can store fat in specific areas, and in your case, that area seems more resistant. Since you're already very thin, gaining a little weight in a controlled and healthy way can be very beneficial for you to be able to undergo the procedure.

Hello
It may be more about skin looseness rather than fat. The fat thickness can be determined with ultrasound. If it's fat, it can be removed with Vaser Lipo. If not, a skin tightening procedure like Renuvion J Plasma can be done.

Liposculpting with the micro canulas under local can remove stubborn fat deposits on your sides very easily and quickly and almost painlessly.  Genetics plays a big part in where fat deposits but is easy to fix.

You need to be examined by a Board certified plastic surgeon yo see if tge fullness is fat deposit. If it is then you may be a candidate for liposucion which would be the preffered treatment. Good luck!
