​Upper Back Liposuction

Are you frustrated with stubborn fat along your upper back—especially around your bra line—that just won’t go away, no matter how much you diet or exercise? You’re not alone. Many people, even those who are slim elsewhere, struggle with bra bulge caused by isolated fat deposits.

At Rattinan Clinic in Bangkok, we offer Upper Back Liposuction, a specialized solution designed to remove excess fat in this area, sculpt your natural body lines, and give you the confidence to wear any clothing style with ease.

Upper Back Liposuction specifically addresses stubborn fat accumulating along the bra line.
We focus on:

  • Upper back bulges that spill over bras or tight clothing
  • Bra rolls that can create visible lumps under clothes
  • Improving the transition from the shoulders to the waist for a more defined, feminine contour

By carefully sculpting this area, we create a smoother, more elegant silhouette, enhancing the natural beauty of your back.

Purpose: Restore Confidence and Comfort

Our goal is not just fat removal—but body refinement.

  • Eliminate Bra Bulge: We directly target the fat pockets causing bulges or rolls, smoothing the back profile so bras and fitted dresses sit perfectly.
  • Enhance Upper Back Contour: The procedure improves the upper body’s natural curves, creating a seamless transition from your shoulders to your waist and arms, making you look both leaner and more toned.

Procedure Time: Quick and Convenient

  • Most upper back liposuction procedures are completed within 1 to 2 hours.
  • The duration varies slightly depending on the amount of fat removal needed and whether additional areas (like arms or flanks) are treated during the same session.

Ideal Candidate: Are You a Good Fit?

You may be an excellent candidate for Upper Back Liposuction if you:

  • Have localized fat in the upper back that does not respond to exercise.
  • Maintain a stable weight and live a healthy lifestyle.
  • Have good skin elasticity (important for smooth contouring after fat removal).
  • Are in overall good health, with realistic expectations about what liposuction can achieve.

Upper back liposuction is suitable for both women and men, although bra bulge correction is particularly popular among female patients.

Techniques Used at Rattinan Clinic: Precision and Artistry Combined

At Rattinan Clinic, we are committed to providing results that are natural-looking, smooth, and long-lasting. We use the most advanced body sculpting technologies:

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

  • Uses a vibrating cannula that loosens fat cells gently.
  • Allows more controlled and precise fat removal, with less trauma to surrounding tissues.

VASER Liposuction (Ultrasound-Assisted)

  • Breaks up fat with ultrasound energy before removal.
  • Makes fat easier to extract while preserving skin tightness and connective tissue for a smoother result.

BodyTite or J-Plasma (Renuvion)

  • Incorporates radiofrequency energy to simultaneously remove fat and tighten the skin.
  • An excellent option for patients with slight skin laxity who want firmer, youthful-looking skin after liposuction.
By combining these advanced tools, we can custom-tailor each procedure to your needs for optimal results.

Scarring: Minimal and Discreet

Many patients worry about scarring—but upper back liposuction scars are extremely small and carefully hidden.

  • Tiny incisions are placed in natural creases or less noticeable areas.
  • Over time, with proper care, the scars fade to become almost invisible.

We also offer scar management therapies to enhance healing and minimize visibility even further.

Recovery: What to Expect

After your procedure, you’ll notice some mild swelling, bruising, and soreness, which are normal and manageable.
 
Here’s a typical timeline
 
  • Compression Garment
    Worn for 4 to 6 weeks to reduce swelling and help your skin contract to your new shape.
  • Return to Light Activity
    Most patients can resume non-strenuous activities within 3 to 5 days.
  • Exercise
    More vigorous exercise should wait for at least 2–3 weeks.
  • Final Results
    Noticeable improvements will start appearing within 1–3 months as swelling subsides.
Following your surgeon’s instructions closely is key to ensuring a smooth recovery and beautiful results.

Important Considerations Before Surgery

  • Combination Procedures
    Many patients opt to combine upper back liposuction with arm liposuction or flank liposuction to achieve a more balanced, sculpted upper body.

  • Not for Weight Loss
    Liposuction is for contouring, not weight reduction. Ideal candidates are already near their target weight.

  • Maintaining Results
    To keep your new shape, you’ll need to continue a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition and regular exercise.
