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.

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.

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!
