Which Surgery Can Address My Back Rolls?

If you have back rolls that aren’t disappearing even after dieting and exercising regularly, surgery may be the solution. Many women have back rolls that cause them to feel embarrassed and self-conscious. Targeting this area with workouts is difficult, and spot-reducing fat isn’t possible. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that more women are seeking out surgery to address the problem. However, which surgery is the best option for you?

Why Do I Suffer from Back Rolls?

Many people, especially women, suffer from back rolls. Although they can be unattractive, they aren’t medically dangerous. Nevertheless, many sufferers are keen to resolve the problem. They often occur due to the aging process, which results in the skin losing elasticity. Once this occurs, the skin will not snap back into place easily and will remain stretched and loose. Back rolls may also be due to a lack of regular exercise, poor posture, and genetics.

Can I Get Rid of Back Rolls Without Surgery?

Many people believe that dieting and exercising are the best solutions to get rid of back rolls. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Dieting and working out may help if you’re generally overweight, but it’s impossible to target back rolls specifically. You may find that the fat loss occurs in other body areas like the stomach or legs.

Working out can strengthen and tone the muscles in the back. Nevertheless, they may still have a layer of stubborn fat covering them, even after regular exercise.

Due to genetics, even slim people may have back rolls. There is not much you can do about this without undergoing surgery.

What Kinds of Surgery Can I Have on My Back Rolls?

There are two different types of surgery that can address back rolls. The first is back liposuction, and the second is a back lift.

What Is a Back Lift?

Back lift surgery is more invasive than back liposuction, with surgeons performing the procedure under a general anesthetic. It involves the surgeon cutting away the excess back skin and fat for a tighter appearance with no back rolls. If you have excess skin on your back as well as excess fat, a back lift is best for you. It has quite a painful recovery period, although the results are good, with patients enjoying a tighter, smoother physique afterward.

Is Back Lipo a Better Solution?

Back lipo is a less invasive option than a back lift. It addresses only excess fat on the back and cannot remove excess skin. If you only have fat rolls on your back with no loose skin, back lipo is ideal for you. Surgeons perform this procedure under a local anesthetic so you can return home the same day. The recovery period is shorter and less difficult than that for a back lift. Patients usually experience excellent outcomes as the procedure gets rid of the excess fat, causing rolls on their back.
