Back

Liposuction to the back is strategic body contouring for an often overlooked area where fat frequently accumulates. Back liposuction may eliminate common issues such as bra bulges, back rolls, or even the “buffalo hump”. 

Look Forward to a More Attractive Back 

It is a common pitfall of human perception to overestimate the importance of what we can see while remaining oblivious to the unseen world. But, if you only concern yourself with how you appear from the front, then you’re only seeing half the picture. The fact is that a flattering front and a beautiful back are two inextricable sides of the same singular coin. Body contouring by Dr. Jack Friedlander is a holistic approach to your entire appearance. He provides 360 degrees of service, including the lower back, the upper back and beyond!

Benefits

The art of liposculpture is a 3D medium. We strive to achieve symmetry in various areas of the body to bring an appealing balance to your entire form.^[1] In this dynamic dance to achieve balance, patients often overlook their own back in their body contouring plans. This is a mistake because back rolls and bra bulges may negatively impact every aspect of your appearance.

Swimsuits and spaghetti straps can become a considerably more perilous proposition if unsightly back fat rolls disturb placid terrain between your shoulder blades and along your elegant spine. Remember what they say: objects in your rearview mirror may be larger than they appear. This is also true of back fat: pockets and bulges that may seem small can have still have a great impact.

VASER Liposuction: Preparation & Procedure

VASER liposuction is considered minimally invasive because it only requires tiny incisions to perform it correctly.^[3] VASER is an augmented version of traditional liposuction because of its unique technology and benefits. VASER stands for vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance. The VASER system utilizes a titamium probe connected to an amplifier that emits ultrasound energy that vibrates the probe at 37kHz.  This energy results in selective treatment of fatty tissue, leaving the majority of connective tissue, blood vessels and nerves intact.  Fat cells tend to clump and coagulate like a sticky pad of butter or a chunky jello mold. Traditional liposuction merely tugs and rips at the fat, increasing the likelihood of unintended trauma to the body. But, like a magic wand, VASER emulsifies stubborn fat cells into a smooth and viscous slurry. This allows for more precise fat removal with less impact on your skin and tissue. 

The VASER technique can also tighten skin in the treatment area, something that traditional liposuction cannot do. VASER’s vibrations encourage new collagen growth in lax and overstretched skin. Collagen forms the invisible latticework of struts and supports that lends young skin its supple responsiveness.  

Is It Better to Lose Weight Before Liposuction?

Liposuction is not an appropriate treatment for obesity. Dr. Friedlander advises that people with obesity first achieve a healthy, stable weight before considering the body contouring benefits of liposuction. Many of our patients at NorCal Liposculpture are people who have undergone transformational weight loss. These patients seek liposuction to put the final few aesthetic touches on their wondrous results. Patients must commit to an active, beneficial lifestyle if they wish to preserve their majesty after liposuction. 

Recovery & Results

Patients are advised to rest over the days following back liposuction, with brief walks interspersed throughout the day. The treated area may be bruised, swollen, or sore after the surgery, but these conditions will improve. Patients will wear a specialized compression garment to optimize results and help reduce swelling.  Drains, if used, are usually in place for five to seven days, but this is variable. Most patients who have sedentary or non-physically demanding jobs can return to work within a a few days of their back liposuction surgery. Exercise can be resumed within several weeks.

Most patients feel fully recovered in four to six weeks. Patients will return for follow-up appointments throughout their recovery to allow Dr. Friedlander to assess their progress, as well as for external ultrasound treatments which will expedite recovery.

If patients undergo VASER liposuction, Dr. Friedlander advises avoiding smoking for a month following surgery. Smoking can deplete oxygen in the blood and impede patient healing. 

You will notice a significant reduction in the size of your back fat deposits immediately after your liposuction surgery. Your final body contours will emerge over the weeks following your procedure as swelling continues to subside. Results may continue to improve for up to six months. 

Get the body you want, with back liposuction at NorCal LipoSculpture. In place of rolls of fat and bra bulges, patients will have tight, smooth body contours. Patients who address their back fat with VASER liposuction will enjoy dramatically smoother, tighter body contours.

Once liposuction eliminates your back fat, it will not return. Patients who maintain a healthy weight with diet and exercise will enjoy the results of their back liposuction surgery for the long-term!
