Lower Back/Upper Back

Back fat can be caused by lifestyle factors, ageing, genetics or an unbalanced diet.
Diet, exercise, and weight loss may not always be enough to get rid of fat in both the lower and upper back.
Vaser liposuction is a cosmetic surgery designed to target and remove excess fat in the back.

What Causes Back Fat?

Back fat can result from various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and hormonal changes. If you have a family history of back fat, you might be more prone to developing it. Aging, hormonal shifts, a lack of physical activity, and an unbalanced diet can also contribute to fat building up in the back area.

How to Get Rid of Back Fat

Tackling back fat usually requires a combination of regular exercise and a balanced diet. Strength training and cardio can help reduce overall body fat and improve muscle tone. But sometimes, despite your best efforts, back fat can be persistent. In these cases, consulting a doctor about other options could be useful.

Vaser liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that can provide a more direct solution to remove excess back fat, offering a quicker and more lasting result. However, it’s essential to consult with a cosmetic doctor to determine the most suitable approach based on your specific situation and goals.

About Back Fat Liposuction

Vaser liposuction is a procedure designed to help with back fat. It uses ultrasound technology to break down fat cells, making them easier to remove compared to traditional liposuction. This type of liposuction can be combined with other areas like the abdomen and waist liposuction for more comprehensive results. Vaser liposuction is less invasive than traditional methods, which can mean less bruising and a quicker recovery. It’s important to speak with an experienced doctor to understand the potential risks, benefits, and whether this approach suits your needs.

How do I get rid of excess back fat?

Eating well and staying active is key for overall health and can help you lose some fat, including back fat rolls. But due to how our bodies are wired with genetics and hormones, these efforts might not always zero in on back fat specifically.

Is back fat liposuction safe?

While it is generally considered safe, potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.

How much fat can be taken out in one go?

In Australia, up to 5 litres of fat can be taken in one surgery. However, you may be eligible for mega Vaser liposuction if you have a significant amount of fat to remove. It's about what's safe and works best for your body, so your doctor will guide you on what's right for you.

What are non-surgical options for tackling back fat?

If you are after a non-surgical approach to getting rid of back fat, CoolSculpting might be for you. This treatment can lessen fat without the need for surgery, though the change might not be as big or quick as what you'd see from liposuction.
