Liposuction of the back is not perceived by all surgeons as an appropriate operation. In addition, this procedure requires a very subtle sense of harmony and symmetry from the specialist who performs it, so that after removing excess fat, the torso will turn out to be proportional. But with a competent approach, the patient will receive a slender waist and ideal rounded shoulders without fat folds in the armpits and under the shoulder blades. For men, liposuction of the back will help get rid of heavy fat deposits in the scapular region, which often put pressure on the back and create serious discomfort.
Features of fat traps requiring back liposuction
The area of the back where liposuction may be required is conditionally divided into two parts: two upper ones - in the area of the shoulder blades, two lower ones - in the waist area. Sometimes liposuction of the back may be required only in its upper part, sometimes it is only necessary to remove fat from the sides and open the waist.
In the upper back, fat traps are concentrated in the armpits and look like fat folds on either side of the spine. They are especially visible on women as they bulge and are accentuated when wearing a bra and stand out even through clothing.
Further on, liposuction of the back may touch the skin-fat folds that run through the entire back, are very distinct on both sides of the spinal column and diverge towards the thighs in the shape of a Christmas tree.
In the lower back, the patients are especially concerned about the bulges from the sides in the waist area, which most noticeably deform the figure after the age of 40 years. It is impossible not to mention the so-called hump in the neck, which consists of very dense adipose tissue and is not amenable to other methods of correction - only with the help of liposuction.
Liposuction of the back has its own characteristics:
- thick skin and dense subcutaneous fat layer;
- presence of dense fibrous bridges that form retractions of fat folds;
- possibility to remove up to one and a half liters of fat at a time.
A good result with liposuction of the back can be achieved only if the fibrous bridges are destroyed, and for this it is recommended to combine different types of fat removal - vacuum, laser, radio frequency. In this case, it is possible to achieve a leveling of the relief and a uniform contraction of the skin.
Which methods of back liposuction can be combined
When choosing a method for liposuction of the back or selecting various combinations of such methods, in addition to the patient's state of health and age, the characteristics of his skin, the nature of the fat traps and their location, the amount of fat to be removed are taken into account.
The tumescent method is carried out using a cannula, it is especially convenient when working with patients with elastic dense skin, it allows large volumes of back liposuction.
The laser method is convenient for loose skin and loose fat deposits of a small volume, it allows, simultaneously with back liposuction, to disinfect the treatment area, coagulate blood vessels and promote skin contraction.
Radio frequency method - more often used for liposuction of the back in the area of lower fat deposits and helps to shape the patient's waist.
The type of anesthesia is selected depending on the volume of the planned back liposuction. Complications are unlikely, but the patient should be warned that the development of hematomas, pigmentation, and pain after surgery is possible. There is a possibility of the formation of seroma, the appearance of edema. Of the dangerous complications, there is a possibility of infection, the development of a fat embolism.
With proper observance of the operation technique and moderation in the volume of fat removal, liposuction of the back is quite safe, but thanks to it, the surgeon sculpts an impeccable silhouette that will please the patient.
