Question

Will liposuction remove these back rolls? I have had BBLs previously and gained weight for them. I want to have one final round to get rid of these back rolls and transfer some fat to the outer corner of the butt to make it round. Will liposuction get rid of these back rolls? If not, what other options are there based on my photo?

Liposuction in the bra roll (back roll) area can certainly help reduce fat in that region, and based on your goals, it sounds like a good option. However, to complete the look and achieve better contouring, it’s also recommended to include liposuction of the love handles (flanks), especially if fat is being transferred to enhance the buttocks further.

It's important to note that liposuction alone does not tighten the skin. For areas like the bra rolls — which are prone to fibrosis and loose skin — combining liposuction with a skin-tightening treatment like J-Plasma (Renuvion) can significantly improve the outcome by helping the skin retract post-fat removal.

In addition, using VASER liposuction in the surrounding areas can help break down the fat more efficiently and provide smoother, more sculpted results.

I recommend booking a consultation with the Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute. During the consultation, we can evaluate your body type, and current goals to create a customized surgical plan that will give you the best possible results!

Body contouring procedures have become increasingly popular and can help men and women recontour their body in adulthood. If you have stubborn areas of fatty accumulation that are more resistant to diet and exercise, you may be a candidate for body sculpting liposuction performed at Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica. Liposuction remains one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery and allows patients to slim and toned their waist line, back, arms, and legs using this minimally invasive and highly coveted procedure.

Among the most common areas to have liposuction performed is the waist line and stomach area. This makes liposuction an excellent alternative to a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck. If you have had fluctuations in weight, you may benefit by recontouring the waistline and abdomen using liposuction. Patient with excessive skin in the lower abdomen from childbirth or from excessive weight loss may not respond well to liposuction because the extra skin will continue to hang. In these patients, and abdominal plasty procedure is preferred.

Dear Sophia689,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

The skin on the back has very thick dermis and responds to aggressive liposuction by contracting.  We have had great success in correcting these folds (see link).

Liposuction with the bodytite/quantum/morpheus will really help get rid of back rolls and tighten up the skin nicely and smoothly.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The back rolls are excess skin hanging down. Liposuction only removes fat, not skin. An alternative to consider is a bra line back lift. This is usually done when patients have had a breast lift done but can be done as a primary procedure.

It is very likely that back roles will be improved with aggressive liposuction. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in BBL is recommended. You should wait at least two years after your last liposuction. Good luck.

Based on the photo, there also appears to be a general excess of body fat, so diet and exercise should be addressed alongside any procedure.
If overall weight is not optimized, liposuction alone may not lead to dramatic improvement.For patients planning surgery, it is generally recommended to achieve a stable, lower weight first, then proceed with liposuction for contour refinement rather than weight reduction.

Hi and thank you for your question. You will definitely see an improvement in your back rolls by having liposuction in that area. You also may want to consider adding a skin tightening laser, such as Renuvion, to the procedure. This will give about a 20% improvement to the skin laxity and really enhance your results. Please make sure you consult with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon. Good luck to you!
