Back fat can be influenced by a variety of factors, including ageing, weight gain, and genetics, among others. The upper and lower back liposuction procedure aims to reduce these areas and create a more proportionate body shape, but results can vary.
Before 
A 22-year-old patient sought advice on liposuction in the abdomen and hip, and buttocks areas.
After

The goal of upper and lower back liposuction is to aim for a more toned visual appearance and a more defined back region, but results can vary.
A thin steel tube called a cannula removes the unwanted fat via a small incision made near the layer of fat that will be targeted in the back. The surgeons at Me Clinic will move the cannula slowly back and forth which breaks up the fat cells and allows them to be sucked out of the body with the cannula.
This procedure involves a process that requires a local or general anesthetic. Recovery periods and healing times can vary, and the procedure aims to provide a look that is consistent and natural. The process works to create a tight and smooth look to the skin with a more desirable contour.

The experience of pain during liposuction can vary, as everyone has a different pain threshold. There will be a mild sedation administered along with a local or general anaesthetic to make the process more comfortable for you. The most discomfort you will likely experience is 24 hours after the procedure; however, medication will be available to help you be more comfortable.
This varies based on how much liposuction you require. A rough timeframe is usually around one to two hours, not including recovery from sedation which can take at least four hours.
Liposuction is a procedure with risks and potential complications, as with all surgical procedures. Standard surgery risks apply across all surgical procedures.
It is common to experience some bruising with liposuction; however, it will naturally subside over time. if you also experience some swelling, it will likely subside after about a week
You should be fine to return to work in about three days, depending on the physical demands of your role. If possible, taking three to seven days off work may be a good idea.
