The results of liposuction for back fat reduction are generally good. During the procedure, a small, inconspicuous incision is first made on the back, through which a cannula is inserted into the fatty layer. Using suction pressure, excess fat from the back is removed, effectively improving the appearance of a thickened back. Recovery typically takes one to three months. During the recovery period, patients are usually required to wear compression garments for a certain period to help shape and support the treated area.
