Back & Flank Liposuction

Upper back rolls and "love handles" can be treated with liposuction to improve these areas. Often combined with liposuction of the abdomen and other areas as well as abdominoplasty, liposuction of the back and flanks complements body contouring procedures. Skin quality is sometimes a limiting factor when excessive looseness of the skin exits. Small one quarter of an inch incisions are made in several areas of the back and flanks for removal of fat with cannulas. Compression garments may be worn post op and are helpful to reduce post op swelling. Examples of back and flank liposuction are shown.
