Understanding Back Roll Removal
Back roll removal is a cosmetic procedure designed to target and eliminate excess fat deposits and lumps in the back area. It aims to improve the overall appearance of the back, creating a more sculpted and streamlined contour. This procedure is ideal for individuals who are bothered by the presence of back rolls, which can be caused by factors such as genetics, weight fluctuations, or aging.
Utilizing Liposuction for Reshaping and Reducing Unwanted Lumps:
To achieve optimal results in back roll removal, Dr. Gallagher employs liposuction as the primary technique. Liposuction is a trusted and effective method for removing excess fat and sculpting the body. The procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort during the surgery. Dr. Gallagher will discuss the most suitable anesthesia option based on your specific needs.
- Incisions: Small incisions, usually less than half an inch in length, are strategically placed in discreet locations on the back.
- Liposuction: Through these incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to gently suction out excess fat, reshape the back, and reduce unwanted lumps. Dr. Gallagher employs meticulous techniques to achieve a smooth and natural contour.
- Incision Closure and Recovery: After completing the liposuction, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures. Dr. Gallagher will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions, including guidance on recovery, pain management, and wearing compression garments to support healing.
After weight loss or previous liposuction, some patients may have back rolls that are formed more from the extra skin rather than extra fat. Liposuction may not work for these patients. Dr Gallagher can instead offer a back lift or in some cases, depending on the anatomy, a circumferential tummy tuck may be needed. Dr Gallagher will be very careful to tailor the surgery to your needs.
