What are the benefits of back liposuction?
Our back liposuction technique is minimally invasive which means you can get back to your normal routine much quicker. If you are bothered by stubborn fat on your back, or it makes you feel uncomfortable in clothing or a swimsuit, this procedure will target and remove the areas of concern with minimal downtime and bruising.
Back liposuction only requires small incision sites, but still offers a precise fat-removing method with the following benefits:
- Fat cells are treated with state-of-the-art ultrasound energy to facilitate the fat removal
- A small cannula is used which lowers risks and gives the doctor more control
- The small incision site minimises the chances of scarring and provides lower recovery times
- We will only use a local anaesthetic which contributes to a shorter recovery time
- This technique encourages increased skin tightening and contraction as it stimulates collagen, lowering the risk of loose skin post-procedure.

Procedure
During a VASER back liposuction procedure, the treated area is first filled with a medicated
solution consisting of salt water, lidocaine (local anaesthetic) and epinephrine. This helps to numb the area and firm the fat, making it easier to remove.
The fat cells are then treated with state-of-the-art ultrasound energy and are removed from the body through a gentle suction process. The surrounding tissues are left intact, giving you the smooth contours you want, with less pain and recovery time than traditional liposuction.
Recovery and Results of Back Lipo
One of the main benefits of our back liposuction procedure is the fast recovery times, with patients only needing to expect some swelling and bruising afterwards. The results of your treatment and the new look of your back will be evident when the swelling goes down within a few weeks of your procedure. We only use a local anaesthetic, which contributes to less recovery time.
If needed, you may wish to take a week off work and it is important that you avoid strenuous exercise for roughly three weeks while your body heals. A compression garment may also be provided to aid recovery. Our experienced team will inform you of any relevant lifestyle changes that may assist in your recovery.
How much does back liposuction cost in Sydney?
The specific cost relevant to your particular procedure will vary based on the extent of the work required to achieve your goals. To receive an accurate quote that is relevant to your situation, you will require a personal assessment by the doctor. For a rough basis, the procedure starts at $4500.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any more questions regarding our back liposuction procedure, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find our FAQs about the treatment that may also provide you with the information you’re looking for.
The results reduce stubborn fat deposits in your upper and lower back offering a more toned and desirable look. You should expect smoother body contours and a more comfortable fit for your clothing.
By removing fat layers with a small cannula we are able to deflate and shape the fat in your back while removing the excess. This precise method allows us to target troublesome areas that would otherwise remain unaffected by exercise and a healthy diet.
Back lipo is not a treatment for obesity. It is unsafe to remove large volumes of fat in one treatment so it’s best to be within 30% of your ideal body weight before considering back liposuction.
Yes, it can! Back lipo can improve the overall shape of your body, giving it a trimmer, fitter look.
When performed on the armpits, back lipo can safely and permanently reduce the activity of the sweat glands, helping with excessive sweating.
There isn't an age or weight limit for back liposuction but it’s ideal for patients of a healthy weight who have areas of fat they can't seem to lose.
Yes, you’ll be awake during the procedure as we only use a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area.
Wearing a compression garment after back liposuction not only increases your comfort during the healing process but also helps the body to recover at a faster rate.
Each patient is different and much depends on factors such as age, weight etc. However, those with good skin elasticity are less likely to have loose skin after back lipo. The procedure also enhances skin retraction compared to traditional liposuction, resulting in smoother contours and increased skin tightening.
Gaining weight causes the fat cells in your body to increase in size. If you lose that weight, the remaining fat cells decrease in size but are still present in the area. Back lipo works to physically remove the fat cells for good, contouring pockets of fat around your body to create a more desirable body shape.
Before proceeding with any surgical procedure, patients should seek a second opinion from qualified healthcare practitioners.

Risks and complications of cosmetic surgery
These risks, while concerning, are generally rare and can be mitigated through careful planning, following pre- and post-operative care instructions, and working with qualified and experienced medical practitioners, like those at ICCM. But it can still be beneficial to understand potential risks that can occur, so you can discuss these risks before proceeding with any treatment.
Scarring
Scarring is a common risk with any surgery that involves making incisions in the skin. While practitioners take care to place incisions in discreet areas and close them carefully to minimise scars, the body’s healing process varies from person to person. Some individuals may develop thicker, more noticeable scars, known as hypertrophic scars or keloids, which can be difficult to treat and may require additional procedures.
Bruising and Swelling
Bruising and swelling are common side effects of surgery as the body responds to tissue trauma. While these symptoms typically subside within a few weeks, severe bruising can cause discomfort and prolong recovery. In some cases, significant swelling might indicate underlying issues such as fluid accumulation or infection, requiring further medical attention.
Bleeding
Bleeding during surgery is controlled by the surgical team, but there is always a risk of excessive bleeding either during the procedure or postoperatively. This can lead to complications like hematomas, where blood pools under the skin, potentially requiring surgical drainage. Severe bleeding can also lead to shock, which is a medical emergency.
Infection
Infection is a risk whenever the skin is broken, as it provides a pathway for bacteria to enter the body. Surgical sites are particularly vulnerable, especially if the wound care instructions are not followed closely. Infections can range from minor skin infections to more serious, deep-tissue infections that might require antibiotics, drainage, or even additional surgery to resolve.
Pain
Pain is an expected part of recovery from any surgery, but its intensity and duration can vary. While most pain can be managed with prescribed medications, some patients may experience prolonged or severe pain, which could indicate complications such as nerve damage or infection. Chronic pain is a less common, but more serious, concern that might persist long after the typical recovery period.
Undesirable Cosmetic Outcome
An undesirable cosmetic outcome occurs when the results of the surgery do not meet the patient’s expectations, or the aesthetic goals outlined before the procedure. This could be due to asymmetry, unnatural appearance, or a failure to achieve the desired contour or shape. In some cases, additional procedures, known as revision surgeries, may be needed to correct these issues.
Nerve Damage
Nerve damage is a risk in many cosmetic procedures, especially those that involve cutting near nerves. This can lead to numbness, tingling, or even loss of sensation in the affected area. While some nerve damage may be temporary and improve over time, permanent nerve injury can result in lasting changes in sensation or function.
Seroma
A seroma is a pocket of clear fluid that can build up under the skin after surgery. It often occurs when the surgical area is not fully drained, leading to swelling and discomfort. Seromas are usually treated by draining the fluid with a needle, but if left untreated, they can increase the risk of infection or contribute to poor wound healing.
Anaesthetic Complications
Anaesthetic complications can arise from both general and local anaesthesia. These risks include allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and, in rare cases, more severe reactions such as malignant hyperthermia. Patients with pre-existing health conditions or those undergoing lengthy procedures are at a higher risk. Complications can range from temporary disorientation or nausea to more serious outcomes like heart attack or stroke.
Death
Death is the most severe and rare risk associated with cosmetic surgery. It can result from complications related to anaesthesia, excessive bleeding, severe infection, or an adverse reaction during the procedure. While the overall risk is low, it underscores the importance of a thorough preoperative assessment and choosing an experienced, qualified medical practitioner to minimise risks.
