What is Back Liposuction?
Back liposuction is a fat removal surgery that targets fat deposits in the upper and lower back. It is a routine cosmetic procedure for our experienced surgeon Dr. Paul Gorman at GLOW Surgical Arts. The result is an improved overall body shape and a smoother, more toned appearance.
Dr. Gorman assesses the patient’s upper back and lower back, determines the areas that need work, and proceeds from there. The patient ends up with a more proportionate body shape that complements her efforts in resistance exercises and weight loss, all leading to lasting results.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Back Liposuction Procedures?
Is this procedure the right choice for you? You can check the characteristics of an ideal candidate for back liposuction below:
Patients with stubborn back fat deposits
If you are on a healthy diet and exercise regimen and cannot eliminate the annoying fat cells on your back, this procedure is right for you.
Patients with a stable weight and good skin elasticity
If you are not experiencing constant weight fluctuations and generally have healthy skin, you are an ideal candidate to remove excess fat from your back in this way.
Special considerations
We should clarify that this is not a weight loss procedure. It is a standard fat removal surgery, resulting in fat reduction in the back. Also, if the patient has hanging, loose skin and a bad posture due to excessive fat, they should first consider a healthier diet and exercise plan.
Benefits of Back Liposuction
This procedure has many benefits, most of which are situational and personal to patients. However, there are four main benefits all patients can expect.
No more back fat
The surgeon will successfully remove all excess fat cells from your back. No more bra rolls under your armpits, no more buffalo humps under your neck, and no more back fat.
Better body shape
By removing all that waste from your back, you will have a more toned appearance, leading to a better posture.
Enhanced comfort
Patients will be able to get a whole new wardrobe with clothes that complement their new figure, which is a significant self-confidence boost.
Minimal scarring
Since we used advanced techniques, the very few openings we make are small, with virtually no scarring.
Before & After Results

How Does a Surgeon Perform Back Liposuction Procedures?
After the initial assessment phase, the patient is prepared for back fat removal surgery. The surgery itself is straightforward for our experienced staff.
The patient is given local tumescent anesthesia along with sedation, after which the surgeon makes small openings in problematic areas. After that, a cannula (suction instrument) is inserted to remove fat cells. The goal is to remove fat cells only without damaging any surrounding tissues and muscles. When all excess fat is removed, the openings are dressed, and a compression garment is fitted.
At GLOW Surgical Arts, Dr. Paul Gorman uses power assisted (PAL) liposuction to safely and effectively remove unwanted fat from the back areas. Some patients will then have this removed fat processed and injected into the buttocks or breasts – a popular option that adds fullness and shape with a very natural feel.
Note: After collecting excess fat using liposuction techniques, all subsequent actions involving inserting this fat into other body areas are viewed as separate procedures.
What Can Patients Expect After Back Liposuction
Like any surgical procedure, patients follow a specific post-surgery regimen to promote the best possible result. For back liposuction, it is not complicated. There are three key points to remember.
- =The patient should wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and promote a faster healing process.
- =The patient should rest for a few days and avoid any form of excessive activity, though walking is recommended.
- =The patient should follow surgeon’s advice and come in for regular checkups.
The good news is that recovery is not long. Patients return to normal activities after just a few days, and full recovery with tangible, visible results can be expected after a few months.
Patients are instructed to continue with a healthy diet and regular resistance exercises for long-term results. They must avoid a sedentary lifestyle that encourages localized fat deposits. Instead, they should focus on their health and wellness and be active.
Combination Procedures
Back fat liposuction can be combined with other forms of cosmetic surgery. The medical professional can suggest various forms of combined surgery depending on what the patient wants to achieve. Let’s explore a few examples.
Back fat liposuction + back lift surgery
Patients with loose skin can combine this procedure with a back lift for optimal results.
Back fat liposuction + tummy tuck + arm lift + thigh lift
A patient can combine all these procedures if they are interested in full-body contouring.
Back fat liposuction + fat transfer
The fat extracted from the procedure can be used to improve the visual appeal of other body areas.
