assisted liposuction (UAL) may not achieve signicant con-
traction of skin then the use of radiofrequency (RF)-assisted
Fat deposit on the back is in a supercial plane in tight compartments and hence traditional liposuction does not provide
much benet. Moreover, aggressively scraping the fat will
cause injury to the thin back muscles causing pain as well as
hematoma. The basic principle by which lipocontouring of
the back works is that once the skin ap has been thinned out
by removal of the excess fat, it will be repositioned on the
curved back and waist of the female form. Its attachment to
skin tightening with or without helium-activation (J- Plasma)
will be required [5]. Helium-activated RF improves skin tur-
gor not only by tightening and contracting the FSN bers but
also by stimulation of neocollagenesis and remodeling of the
dermal matrix [11].
The shapely outcome after this minimalistic procedure is
due to the concepts, some of them described by Gasparotti
[10] which include:
the underlying fascia and inherent ability of the skin to shrink
will produce further improvement in the skin bulges [9] It is
known that all types of skin even in very advanced stage has
the ability to contract signicantly when supercial liposuction is carried out using ne cannulas till the skin becomes
soft [10].
Ultrasound technology has the ability to emulsify the fat
by rupturing the lipocytes without mechanical disruption.
Use of this technology internally during liposuction will prevent injury to the supercial broseptal network (FSN) producing more skin retraction and at the same time helps in
partial release of the zones of adhesion thus achieving a
smooth transition. When the fat deposits are extensive and
1. After liposuction the thin cutaneous tissue drapes the
underlying curves.
2. Liposuction on the back should be done in a vertical
direction causing less damage to the lymphatic vessels.
3. Vertical liposuction also supports the skin envelope
against gravity by formation of vertical collagen tissue.
4. VASER energy to lyse the lipocytes and allow easy and
smooth removal of fat.
5. Radiofrequency with or without Helium activation to
improve the skin contraction.
6. 4weeks of customized support to allow the skin to contract and the edema to reduce.

7.9.1 Procedure Steps
1. Marking is rst done in the standing position. All points
of elevation and depressions should be carefully marked
(Fig.7.9). The bra-line should also be marked so that the
access points are hidden.
2. Tumescent uid (Standard Klien’s solution) is inltrated
in the marked areas through one or two hidden access
points. After 15min VASER (Internal Ultrasound) was
used at 70% energy and a 3-ringed probe with a skin
guard. The end point of VASER use was when the tissue
became soft and fat started spilling out of the port as seen
in Fig.7.10.
3. Liposuction is then carried out by using Mercedes tip
straight cannulas and/ or the Aspirator III curved cannula
which has three triangular ports on its concave side. Three
millimeters cannulas are used so that there is no disruption of the broseptal network as seen in Fig.7.11.
4. Once the evacuation is complete, based on the preoperative plan, skin tightening procedure can be undertaken either by using radiofrequency-assisted skin
tightening device alone as seen in Fig. 7.12a, b or the
plasma therapy by Helium activation radio frequency as
seen in Fig.7.13. Care should be taken and injury to the
sub-dermal plexus should be prevented.
5. Once the skin tightening procedure has been completed,
the access point is sutured and patient is placed in a custom compression dressing. Lymphatic massage is started
after a week. Post procedure photographs as evaluated at
4 weeks after the treatment (Figs.7.14, 7.15, and 7.16).

7.10 Lipectomy asPart ofUpper Body Lift
7.10.1 Indications forUpper Body Lift
Back rolls with loose skin in the upper back have the appearance of skin spilling over the bra line and thus compromising a smooth silhouette of the back. Large fat deposits on
the back who have undergone lipocontouring with not sufcient skin retraction may also lead to these cosmetic scenarios. This condition is predominantly visible in people
who have undergone massive weight loss secondary to diet
and exercise or bariatric surgery. Body contouring after
massive weight loss usually includes circumferential body
lift, thigh- lift, arm-lift, and breast procedures. Management
of back rolls through tissue excision has become more common as more and more people are going in for bariatric surgery. This procedure can be combined with surgery of the
breast and in the female the tissue to be excised can be deepithelized and used to create an autologous breast augmentation [12].
In men, gynecomastia surgery can be combined with
removal of excess tissue on the back as part of the upper
body lift procedure which will address the excess skin on the
upper torso circumferentially [13].
1. Back rolls with signicant skin laxity.
2. Grade 4 gynecomastia in a male with skin laxity extending to the back.
3. When tissue from the back can be used as a ap for autologous breast augmentation in a female.
4. In people who have residual back rolls after liposuction.
7.10.2 Procedure Steps
1. The rst step of any aesthetic procedure including the
back lift is marking in the standing position. The bra
outline is rst marked as seen in Fig.7.17a, b. The incision line is then marked extending from one inframammary crease to the other side if there is laxity of skin
across the spine too. In males it can be marked as two
separate incisions which are not continuous across the
midline. Tissue is then pinched on either side of the incision mark and the excision line is marked using a pinch
technique.

2. After administration of general anesthesia, patient is carefully placed in a prone position on a spinal frame or chest
pillows. The neck and lower body should be well supported
and sequential compressive devices should be used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The arms should be
placed on adjustable arm rests so that they can be easily
abducted and adducted during closure of incision (Fig.7.18).
3. Towel clip is now used to conrm the extent of skin excision so that there is no undermining required for closure
and at the same time the extent of tissue excision is adequate (Fig.7.19).
4. Tumescent uid is now inltrated in the tissue to be
excised for hemostasis. Incision is then made using a

resection. The markings are now made using methylene blue
number 15 blade. Please note that the dermis on the back
is very thick but the back muscles are very thin (Fig.7.20).
5. Electrocautery is now used to cauterize all bleeding
points and the tissue is excised leaving behind the fascia
covering the muscle. The tissue should not be beveled or
undermined. This facilitates closure with an Ethibond
suture bite from the two supercial fascial system edges
and down the fascia over the muscle thus obliterating the
space (Fig.7.21).
6. Final closure is in two layers using Vicryl and Monocryl
subcuticular sutures. This is completed by preventing any

abduction is increased gradually based on patient comfort
(Fig. 7.22). If abducting the arms is painful or creates
undo tension, they are advised to scale back their activity.
7.10.3 Possible Complications
1. Most common is scar widening, usually due to nonsuturing of the supercial fascial system. May need scar
revision.
2. Inadequate skin removal may require re-excision.
3. Dog ear may require correction.
4. Hypertrophy of scar is possible which may need local
Intra- lesional Triamcinolone injections with 5 FU as
well as application of silicone sheets (Fig. 7.23).
Pearls
1. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction is the mainstay of treatment for reduction of back rolls.
2. Moderate skin Laxity can be treated by using
radiofrequency- assisted skin tightening.
3. Alignment of midline and lateral tissues is very important
to achieve symmetry during back lift surgery.
4. Hypertrophy of scars is possible especially in a male
which may require further scar reduction treatment.

GRADE I Back rolls which appear when the arms are kept
by the side and disappear when the arms are raised. Injection
lipolysis or Liposuction is the treatment option.
GRADE II Back rolls which have a single indentation (partial or complete) which reduces when the arm is raised.
VASER liposuction is the best treatment option.
GRADE III Back rolls with two or more skin indentations
with skin pinch of more than 2 cm. The skin fold should not
be lower than the inferior tethering point. Radio frequency
assisted liposuction and skin tightening is the best treatment
option.
GRADE IV Back rolls secondary to massive weight loss,
have multiple folds with skin pinch <2 cm and skin fold
lower than the tethering point or who have undergone prior
surgical treatment. Lipectomy is the best treatment option.

8.1 Introduction
Lipocontouring of back and buttocks is a surgical procedure
that has grown signicantly in the past few years, due to the
discerning eyes of their peers, tight garments, and, moreover,
because of social media and its unapproachable beauty standards. There are specic techniques that allow surgeons to
achieve great results in remodeling the back and buttocks, as
well as even better surgical skills by plastic surgeons in order
to perform more sophisticated and advanced procedures due
to scientic advancements to satisfy patient’s expectations
and increase the efcacy of the procedure.
Since the rst liposuction techniques were reported and
performed in France by Illouz and Fournier, and further
rened with incorporation of the Klein’s tumescent solution,
which has revolutionized the entire liposuction technique
and has renewed acceptance even by his detractors [1, 2],
the evolution has been constant and by contributions from
specialists and technology companies offering collaboration,
many systems and improved techniques have been developed so as to decrease timing and bleeding during the procedure and to allow skin retraction after liposuction. Needless
to say there is a better denition of the underlying muscular
structures with reduction in the percentage of complications.
8.2 Regional Anatomy
The posterior region of the body has a specic anatomy that
must be known in minute detail so that we can optimize our
results and decrease revisions (Fig.8.1). The preoperative
evaluation and documentation is extremely important in
order to plan correctly which areas we are going to lipoaspirate and graft (Figs.8.2 and 8.3). Additionally, we must be
aware of the body’s problematic areas including loose skin
and zones of adherence.
