Which Type of Lipo is Best for Back Fat

Your picture suggests that you
would be an excellent candidate for liposuction of your back.Currently, a large number of liposuction
variants are available to accomplish your aesthetic goals.In the vast majority of patients, tumescent
liposuction is the procedure of choice.Tumescent
liposuction represents the gold standard that all other body contouring
procedures are judged against.This
procedure is associated with dramatic results and high patient satisfaction
rates.In the vast majority of patients,
liposuction is still the best option for treating localized collections of fat.
If
you’re concerned about upper back fat, consultation with a Board-Certified
plastic surgeon who has experience in this area is appropriate.This surgeon should be able to formulate a
treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your
aesthetic goals.

Generally, back fat is more fibrous. For this reason, it can be more challenging to remove. I often target this area with ultrasonic or power-assisted liposuction methods.

Back fat or brastrap fat can be hard to treat as the skin is fibrous, in other words it contains dense amounts of collagen and the back skin is thicker than abdominal and thigh skin. Thick skin areas don't retract as much after liposuction as thin skin areas and the weight of the thick skin makes the folds fall because of gravity.  Many times these folds are related to the lack of support that occurs with age and not because of an accumulation of fat. See a board-certified liposuction physician to evaluate your condition. If liposuction doesn't help as much as you would desire in this area, possibly a non-invasive treatment such as Thermage or Zeltiq Cool Sculpting may provide minimal to moderate (or no) improvement.
