Answer: Tummy tuck and back fat In a short answer, no. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty will only treat the anterior abdominal area. You will need liposuction to treat the bra fat in your back and flanks. This can possibly be performed at the same time as your abdominoplasty, but your surgeon may be limited somewhat as to how aggressively the liposuction can be done at the same time as a tummy tuck.

Answer: Back fat improved from tummy tuck? Congratulations on scheduling your tummy tuck. You should see a great improvement in your contour from this procedure. However, the tummy tuck will have no affect on your back fat. You will need liposuction of the back to improve this area. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery. They may be able to perform liposuction of the back at the time of your tummy tuck to improve this area as well. Best of luck,

Answer: Liposuction of the Back It’s not unusual for patients with redundant abdominal tissue to also have localized fat collections that are located in the posterior flank region. When this situation arises it’s not unusual for patients to need both abdominoplasty and liposuction of the flanks. When abdominoplasty alone is performed, the back and flanks are usually unaffected by this treatment. To correct the flank fat collections, liposuction of the back is usually always necessary. Under these circumstances, the combination of abdominoplasty and liposuction gives excellent results and high levels of patient satisfaction. If you’re concerned about back fat it’s important to discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon before proceeding with abdominoplasty.

Answer: Will a Tummy Tuck Help my Back Fat?
Though you tried to post photos, always better without garments on. My guess is you will need liposuction of the back also.
