Back Liposuction
Most men and some women have a tendency to accumulate fat deposits in the back immediately above the buttocks. This area is often referred to in popular culture as "love handles". The lower rise pants that have become fashionable of late emphasize excess fat in these areas. Liposuction can provide an excellent resolution to this concern with a relatively short recovery period.
In addition, Dr. Belsley feels that liposuction of the upper back, especially around the bra strap area in women, has proven increasingly successful with the addition of ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
This specialized technique of liposuction involves the use of high frequency sound waves to assist in breaking up fat cells prior to liposuction.
It has rendered previously resistant areas of fat deposition much more amenable to liposuction as a method of body contouring. After surgery, individuals wear a specially selected garment for several weeks and are typically able to resume all health club activities after a few weeks.
Case Study:
Back Liposuction
This case depicts a 33 year old woman who had concerns with excess fat above the buttocks, around the waist in the back and around the bra area. Liposuction in the back has been greatly facilitated with the advent of ultrasound assisted liposuction.
This specialized method of liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to break up fat cells so that they may be removed more thoroughly and more easily.
Dr. Belsley uses this method of liposuction in the back and in other areas of the body where removal of fat with traditional liposuction is more difficult.
The post-operative photographs depict this woman's appearance approximately three months after surgery.
