I have had back fat for as long as I remember. I have had some life difficulties and gained 40 pounds in a few months. I am starting my weightloss journey again on wanted the back fat gone to look better when I loose the weight. I am about 6 weeks out and am not liking my results so far. Waist, hips, and flanks are looking better but my bra rolls are still there. And i am able to grab them. This was the main purpose of getting the surgery and I am very disappointed. He told me at my last appointment that he may have to go back in. I am already very marked up and do not know if I want to go through more marks and the pain. Im so upset because I see women who have spent way less with much better results by 6 weeks. I am also very tired of explaining these huge scars particularly the on on my should that had nothing to do with where i got lipo.

It don't look that bad but I guess for the type of money u spent I would be [RS bleep]. I'm thinking about getting mines but I'm alil nervous now and its few doctors here in Phila I been looking at. I hope its just a swelling thing in ya case. Best of luck

I wish it was swelling but im convinced he just was not aggressive enough. Ive been reading on here that back rolls are pretty hard they arent that damn hard.

I really rushed into this. I didnt do much research but I knew I couldnt travel and there are not many Plastic Surgeons here in Pittsburgh and Dr. Hurwitz is on one of the best. I wish I could have gotten my abdomen done as well but I could not afford it. I thought by going to a top surgeon and spending top dollar I wouldnt have any issues but as you can see my back rolls are still there. I do not see much difference at all. Only difference I see are these horrible scars all over my body. My waist and flanks are still tight and I still have swelling but I honestly do not think this is going to get too much better unless he goes back in. If he wants me to pay to go back in I am going to have a serious problem because I wanted these back rolls gone, and for 7500 for just back lipo they should be. I see women on here paying 4000 for BBLs and they look great by 6 weeks! I did not enjoy recovery at all which is another reason I do not want him to go back in.

Foam and compression garment

Newdz43
I hated my compression garment & stopped wearing it weeks ago. It was not a full garment that went all the way up my back or on my hips and I would swell over and under the garment. It was a soft velcro one under a hard velcro one that was just terrible. My upper back would be so swollen over top. It was awful. The doctor put foam on my back to help with the compression but the part that sticks irritates my sensitive skin. I am getting really down in the dumps right now because it just feels like my dream body is out of reach. Weightloss and plastic surgery cant get rid of these huge back rolls. No part of this seems worth it and I just paid all that money just to have scars to show for it. I am 5'5 and 212 I have never been over 200 pounds in my life, which already has me feeling blue, but now it is even worse because I went through all that pain and am still fat and sloppy and ashamed of my body. I do like my butt and thought the lipo paired with a 20-30lb weight loss would have me perfect. I am just full of regret right now. I should have gotten my stomach done to but I did not have the money. I should have just went to DR and got the whole shabang for the same price! Full abdomen, back, and booty for the same price of me looking like [RS bleep]!

Yes he could've done a better job with your back! I don't get it. Like why are you leaving that much fat behind. And why are your scars so big. I'm surprised you didn't wear a full garment. I heard the squeem vest garment help smooth the back good. Maybe you can try that but he needs to give you a revision. And he can use the same incision site so you don't have new scars
