Lipoplasty to reduce fat tissue on back

Back Lipoplasty Liposuction Surgery on the BackGood candidates for this type of cosmetic surgery are patients with excessive infra-scapular fat, posterior axillary or waist fat, or lumbo-sacral fat, and reasonably good skin elasticity. Lipoplasty is limited to fat-removal, so for patients with very loose skin and impaired elasticity (eg. after massive weight loss) it is not a good option. Such patients may need excisional back lipectomy to reshape the back, although it may be combined with liposculpture for optimum cosmetic body contouring. Adipose Tissue on Female BackThere may be several different accumulations of fatty tissue in the area of the back: Infra-Scapular Body Fat Cervico-Dorsal Fat Posterior Axillary Fat Hyperpigmentation of Incision AditsThe back is prone to hyperpigmentation of the skin around incision sites. Any tearing or damage to the skin at these sites can cause marking of the skin - referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. However, cosmetic surgeons performing tumescent liposuction use microcannulas so incisions (adits) are very small. Thus the risk of hyperpigmentation is greatly reduced. ------------------------------------------------ Gastric Bypass Bariatric Information |
