Back Liposuction With Dr. Hakimi

Back liposuction specifically targets unwanted fat in the upper and lower back. A buildup of excess fat in these areas can create the appearance of love handles that hang over the top of your jeans, back and bra rolls that can be seen through tight-fitting clothing, or an unflattering bulge behind the neck and between the shoulders, often referred to as a buffalo hump.

The back can be difficult to address through diet and exercise, but Dr. Hakimi offers advanced liposuction techniques to eliminate these stubborn fat deposits. His meticulous approach is tailored to your unique needs and designed to enhance the natural contours of your body.

Back liposuction can be performed using a combination of local anesthesia and oral medication, allowing you to remain awake but sleepy and relaxed during surgery. If you’re having multiple areas treated at once, Dr. Hakimi may recommend general anesthesia for optimal results.

Lower Back Liposuction

Lower back liposuction targets stubborn fat above the waistline that hangs over the top of tight-fitting pants or skirts. By carefully sculpting the lower back and waistline, Dr. Hakimi can eliminate love handles or a muffin top to help you achieve a slimmer and more flattering silhouette. Clothing will fit better and you’ll feel more confident in your wardrobe choices.

Buffalo Hump Liposuction

When fat accumulates below the neck and between the shoulders, it can lead to what is often called a buffalo hump, known medically as the dorsocervical fat pad. This is different from a dowager’s hump, which can look similar but is caused by excessive curvature in the spine.

A buffalo hump gives the upper back a rounded appearance that doesn’t improve with diet and exercise. Dr. Hakimi uses liposuction to gently and effectively remove fat in this area, creating a smoother transition from the neck to the back that improves your profile, posture and motion.

Upper Back & Bra Roll Liposuction

Upper back and bra roll liposuction targets stubborn fat along the bra line. This procedure is particularly effective for smoothing out unsightly bulges and achieving a sleeker, more streamlined profile. Dr. Hakimi’s precise technique enhances the natural contour of the back and significantly improves the way clothes fit and feel.

Fat Transfer & Skin Tightening

When excess fat is removed, it can be repurposed via fat transfer to accentuate other areas of the body, such as the breasts, buttocks, face or hands. Unlike fillers, once fat is injected, it stays for life, providing a natural look that lasts. You can also improve your liposuction results with radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening to reduce sagging and bring your new look together.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

01 // Prior

Undergoing back liposuction with Dr. Hakimi begins with a private consultation, where your aesthetic goals and concerns will be discussed. This stage is crucial for setting realistic expectations and putting together a treatment plan tailored to your needs. He will also explain the procedure in more detail, ensuring you are well-prepared and informed going forward.

02 // During

On the day of the surgery, you’ll be welcomed at Dr. Hakimi’s Beverly Hills office. He will carefully apply markings for precision, administer local anesthesia and infuse the area with a tumescent solution to control pain and bleeding. Small, strategically placed incisions will then be made, through which a cannula is inserted at an angle to break up and remove unwanted fat.

03 // Duration

Dr. Hakimi uses his skill and expertise to sculpt ideal contours. Back liposuction typically takes one to two hours to complete, but this can vary depending on your needs and goals. If back liposuction is included as part of a broader treatment plan, you can expect your surgery to last longer. Afterward, you’ll be able to return home the same day to begin your recovery.

Back Liposuction Recovery

Recovery from back liposuction with Dr. Hakimi is generally swift, with most patients able to return to work and most normal activities within a few days. After the procedure, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. You’ll be advised to wear compression garments to facilitate healing and support your new contours.

Detailed post-operative care instructions will be provided to ensure the best results, including guidelines on when to resume physical activities and how to care for the incision sites. If you have any questions during your recovery, contact our office for answers and advice.

FAQ

How Long Will My Results Last?

Fat removed during back liposuction is permanently eliminated from the body. However, the remaining fat cells could still expand if a significant amount of weight is gained. Committing to a balanced, healthy lifestyle can help you maintain and enjoy your new contours for many years.

Will There Be Scarring from Back Liposuction?

Dr. Hakimi makes every effort to place incisions strategically in less visible areas, minimizing potential scarring. Any scars are usually small and fade over time with proper care.

Is Back Liposuction Right for Me?

Ideal candidates struggle with stubborn fat deposits on the upper or lower back that don’t respond well to diet and exercise. For optimal results, patients should be at or near their ideal body weight with good skin elasticity and realistic expectations about their results.

Can Back Liposuction Be Combined With Other Cosmetic Procedures?

Yes, back liposuction can be effectively combined with other procedures, such as a tummy tuck, fat transfer or total body liposuction for more comprehensive results. Dr. Hakimi can discuss which combinations may best meet your aesthetic goals during your consultation.
