Under normal circumstances, liposuction on the back does not cause harm. However, if the procedure is performed by an inexperienced doctor, it may result in uneven contours or irregularities after surgery, and could potentially damage superficial nerves and blood vessels, leading to pain or numbness in the back. These side effects are generally not severe and tend to resolve spontaneously.
