Both men and women can benefit from a personalized liposuction treatment to target stubborn upper, mid, and lower back fat.
Ideal candidates for back liposuction:


Back liposuction surgery is a minimally invasive body contouring strategy, commonly used to enhance the natural form of the spine and muscles.
During the procedure, Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will make small incisions in the back area. A cannula is then inserted through these incisions to break up fat and suction it out. After the desired amount of fat is removed, the incisions are closed. The result is a perfectly contoured back!

Recovery time following this cosmetic surgery depends on the amount of fat cells removed, the type of liposuction conducted, and if the procedure is paired with other personalized treatments.
Bruising, swelling, and soreness are common after back liposuction surgery. A compression garment is advised to avoid these symptoms and promote healing. Generally, it takes about two weeks before patients can resume normal activities following treatment.
We elevate our body contouring results by incorporating the advanced AYON ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) system into all applicable liposuction procedures at North Florida Plastic Surgery.
This technique represents an evolution of traditional liposuction, using specialized ultrasonic waves to break apart and liquefy fat cells before they are removed. This sound energy allows surgeons to remove fat more smoothly while protecting surrounding tissues, blood vessels, and nerves.
By combining advanced AYON technology with surgical precision, UAL enables our plastic surgeons to sculpt more defined contours and reduce trauma during the fat removal process. Learn more about AYON and how ultrasound-assisted liposuction can help you reach your desired results.
