From buffalo humps to muffin tops to saddlebags, it seems like a cute nickname exists for virtually any area of the body prone to developing excess fat. One area that many women struggle with, yet seldom focus on as much, is the upper back. As the years go on, back bra rolls and other types of unsightly bulges can form and grow in this region. Additional factors promoting the development of upper back fat include weight gain, genetics, and hormones.

Regardless of the reason they developed, back bra rolls can cause several different issues, from the wearing down of back muscles to difficulty fitting into bras to a loss of one’s natural bodily proportions.

Before AirSculpt® was developed, outdated procedures like back bra roll liposuction were the only solution to stubborn fat in this region. Liposuction is a highly invasive treatment that can leave patients with massive scars and several undesired side effects. Furthermore, liposuction for back fat cannot precisely target trouble areas while sparing the surrounding body parts, not to mention the loose skin it often leaves behind.
