Back liposuction

Back liposuction is a common procedure to remove or reduce back fat, also known as “angel wings.” It is important to note that back fat is mostly made up of excess fat but also skin. The back is an area where almost all fat can be removed, but the skin may tend to sag after liposuction, which is why this area is often treated with Renuvion to tighten the skin. To minimize back fat, it is often necessary to perform liposuction on the hips as well, as fat on the hips pushes the back fat upward, accentuating it. Whether treating fat deposits in the upper back (under the shoulder blades), the middle back (bra fat), or the lower lumbar area, this procedure offers visible and long-lasting results. After back liposuction, our patients report a significant improvement, both in terms of aesthetics and comfort, especially when wearing fitted clothing.

How does back liposuction work?

Before the procedure

During your initial consultation, we will analyze the thickness of the subcutaneous fat on your back, the quality of your skin (which is essential!) and your weight. It is important to be at a stable weight before the procedure to ensure optimal results. If the skin quality is insufficient, options such as Renuvion may be considered to tighten the skin. Preoperative tests, including a blood test, will be carried out to ensure that you do not have anemia or any coagulation disorders. We are very honest and realistic about the expected results.

The procedure

Before the operation, the areas to be treated are carefully marked by Dr. Favre while the patient is standing, with validation in front of a mirror to ensure perfect symmetry. Patients often decide to add areas at this point. The procedure begins with the injection of Klein's tumescent solution, which reduces bleeding and bruising.
The fat is then suctioned out using Microaire PAL technology, which is known for its precision and ability to create smooth, harmonious contours. If the fat is very fibrous, we use the Vaser technique to release the fat from the fibers. At the end of the procedure, checks are carried out with the patient lying down and standing up to ensure a symmetrical and natural result. Back liposuction generally lasts between 1 and 2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or deep sedation.

After the procedure

- Immediate care: A Marena compression garment is put on immediately after the procedure to help the skin adapt to the new silhouette and reduce swelling. This garment must be worn day and night for 3 weeks.
- Recovery: Swelling and bruising are common but gradually subside after 3 to 4 weeks. A feeling of soreness may persist for one to two weeks.
- Post-operative activities: You may shower 48 hours after the procedure, and it is advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity for the first few weeks. LPG Endermologie massages are not mandatory but may be considered depending on individual needs.

The final results are visible between 3 and 6 months after the procedure, once the swelling has completely subsided.

General information

Ideal for stubborn fat

Back liposuction targets fat deposits that do not disappear despite a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Skin quality plays a key role in the results. If the skin lacks firmness, complementary solutions such as Renuvion may be offered to tighten the skin without leaving additional scars. In cases where the skin is very loose, there is no alternative to removing the excess skin. However, we strongly advise against a back lift, as it leaves a large visible scar.

Additional areas

Back liposuction is often combined with other areas such as liposuction of the hips or flanks, which have a direct impact on the back bulge. Other adjacent areas are often liposuctioned, such as the fat under the armpits.
