When you want to get in shape, you usually try everything available: dieting and working out. However, some parts of the body collect fat and will not just let it go, no matter your efforts. One of these areas is the back. You can be in excellent body shape but still have back fat rolls.
Back fat, also known as back bulges or bra rolls, is common in women as they age. They appear in clothing, changing the aesthetics of your body. Fortunately, liposculpture treatment can eliminate the back-fat rolls and give you that ideal body frame.
Liposculpture is a procedure that works much in the same way as liposuction. However, it is more targeted—instead of just getting rid of fat, it gives more muscle tone. It is ideal when you are dealing with little fat pockets in certain parts of the body.
Liposculpture removes fat and moves it around to give it a great shape. Because of how it works, it requires that you have elastic skin. Elastic skin is common in darker-toned or younger individuals who do not smoke or have much sun damage.
Liposculpture works best if you are already in good shape and the target areas have good elasticity. It can work to narrow a waistline, accentuate abdominal muscles, and improve contours.
The most common technique that surgeons use is the tumescent technique. It is ideal because it limits scarring and blood loss. The surgeon uses a sterile solution that numbs the area. Then, they will place a small tube called a cannula into the skin, under the fat, through a small incision they make.
The cannula allows them to move the fat or remove it through suction. At times, the removed fat is purified and transferred to other parts of the body.
When it comes to back fat rolls, liposculpture changes the appearance of your back. A surgeon will remove and move the fat around through liposculpture to give you better contours. They will ensure the skin is much tighter.
The incisions they use will be tiny to minimize scarring. They also hide the incisions in the contours of the back.
A single procedure can take between 90 minutes to 4 hours to complete depending on where you go, but at Pacific Lipo, our advanced technology makes the procedure only take between 50-90 minutes. You may get oral sedation if the target area is large or local anesthesia for a smaller area. If the procedure takes a long time because of the size of the area, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia may be used.
Most surgeons prefer the tumescent technique. However, there are three types of tumescent techniques:
It breaks fat down much faster and removes it much more quickly. It uses a unique vibrating tool that helps break down the fat deposits.
It takes much longer, but it works better for larger areas. It utilizes a handpiece that emits ultrasonic energy that melts the fat.
It also works by melting fat, but it does so through low-energy waves. Like the ultrasound option, it also takes much longer.
