Back Liposuction with Dr. Hong – Expert Body Contouring Across Gangnam, Apgujeong, Cheongdam, Myeongdong, Hongdae and All of Seoul
Smooth your back line—cleaner curves in fitted tops and dresses
Back liposuction targets stubborn fat across the upper back (bra line), mid-back rolls, flanks/“love handles,” lower back above the waist, and along the axillary fold. Dr. Hong focuses on 360° harmony so your back looks smooth from shoulder blades to waist—without shelves or dents.
Why patients choose Dr. Hong for back lipo
- 360° waist–back design: Plans flanks, lower back, and bra line together for a seamless silhouette.
- Feathered, natural transitions: Special attention to the bra strap zone and iliac crest to prevent step-offs.
- Tiny, discreet entry points: Hidden in natural creases for minimal visibility.
- Safety-first protocol: Conservative volume control, meticulous technique, and attentive follow-up.
- Revision experience: Options for contour correction if you’ve had prior liposuction elsewhere.
Who’s a good candidate?
- Localized, pinchable fat on the upper/mid/lower back or flanks
- Good to moderate skin elasticity (adjunct tightening may be discussed for laxity)
- Stable weight and realistic goals—lipo sculpts shape; it’s not a weight-loss procedure
- Non-smoker or willing to pause smoking around surgery to support healing
Areas commonly treated
- Upper back / bra line rolls
- Mid-back folds that show in fitted tops
- Lower back / waist to enhance V-taper or hourglass
- Posterior flanks for a cleaner beltline
- Posterior axillary fold (back armpit roll) for tank-top confidence
How the procedure works
- Consultation & mapping – Standing markings to capture natural folds and posture; photos from multiple angles.
- Anesthesia – Local with sedation or general, depending on volume and comfort.
- Micro-access & sculpting – Small, hidden entry points; controlled, multi-plane cannula passes to remove fat evenly.
- Edge blending – Feathering around the bra line, scapular borders, and iliac crest to avoid ridges.
- Compression – A garment is applied immediately to support the new contour and reduce swelling.
Recovery timeline (typical)
- Days 1–3: Soreness, swelling, light drainage; short walks encouraged.
- Week 1–2: Back to desk work; bruising fades; compression worn 24/7 except showers.
- Weeks 3–4: Light exercise resumes; swelling ~60–70% improved; smoother fit under clothing.
- Weeks 6–8: Most activities cleared; definition more visible.
- 3–6 months: Final refinement as tissues settle and skin retracts.
Timelines vary by individual healing and treatment scope.
Results you can expect
- Smoother bra line with fewer visible rolls
- Cleaner lower back curve that narrows the waist
- Better fit in activewear, dresses, and tailored shirts
- A more continuous line from shoulder blade to waist
Aftercare essentials
- Compression garment as directed to control swelling and support shape
- Gentle movement (walking; avoid heavy twisting early on)
- Hydration + protein-rich diet to aid healing
- Incision care & sun protection so tiny entry points fade optimally
- Maintain stable weight to preserve results
Risks & how we minimize them
Potential risks include contour irregularities, asymmetry, seroma, hematoma, prolonged swelling, temporary numbness, or infection. Risk is reduced through conservative, even fat removal, multi-plane feathering, careful hemostasis, and close follow-up. Minor variances that appear as swelling resolves can often be addressed with targeted touch-ups.
Back lipo vs. flank-only vs. non-surgical options
- Back liposuction: Precise, immediate reduction and shape control across multiple zones.
- Flank-only treatment: Helps the beltline but often leaves upper/mid-back rolls—360° planning creates the smoothest result.
- Non-surgical fat reduction: Useful for small pockets; less precise and slower; often multiple sessions.
Frequently asked questions
Will the bra strap still make lines?
Compression of any strap can mark the skin, but reducing bulk typically minimizes visible rolls under clothing.
Where are the scars placed?
Tiny entry points are hidden along natural creases (near bra line or midline); they fade and are usually hard to notice.
When can I exercise?
Walking right away; light cardio/legs from ~2–3 weeks; back-dominant workouts when medically cleared.
Are results permanent?
Removed fat cells don’t return; weight gain can enlarge remaining cells. Stable weight helps keep the smooth contour.
