Our practice in Las Vegas specializes in back liposuction using the advanced Moeller Vibrastat® system, offering a sophisticated approach to body contouring. This innovative power-assisted technology enables precise fat removal while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in smoother, more natural-looking outcomes. Liposuction is performed under awake anesthesia, enhancing safety and comfort during treatment. Our experienced medical team, led by board-certified physician Dr. Jennifer Gopeng, brings over two decades of combined expertise to each procedure. Patients can expect long-lasting results that enhance their natural body contours and boost their confidence!
Back liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat deposits from various areas of the back to create a smoother, more contoured appearance. The procedure addresses stubborn tissues that often resist diet and exercise. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with other body contouring surgeries to achieve more comprehensive results. Back liposuction usually takes one to three hours, depending on the extent of fat removal and the specific areas being treated.
The controlled mechanical movement of Moeller Vibrastat® allows for smoother, more uniform fat extraction than traditional liposuction methods. This results in reduced procedure time, less physical strain on the surgeon, and faster recovery. The device is particularly effective for treating larger areas and fibrous zones, providing consistent, natural-looking results with enhanced patient comfort.
During back liposuction, up to 5 liters (5 quarts) of fat may be safely removed in a single session. The exact amount varies based on the patient’s body composition and treatment area size. Our expert surgeon considers all safety precautions and desired aesthetic outcomes to determine the appropriate volume of fat removal.
The liposuction procedure begins with local anesthesia to numb the treatment zones. We inject lidocaine to ensure patient comfort and prepare the target area.
Next, our surgeon delivers a tumescent solution, which is a mixture of lidocaine (local anesthetic), epinephrine (blood vessel constrictor), and saline. This fluid is infused into the treatment areas using a tiny cannula. It allows the patient to remain awake while providing adequate pain control and minimizing bleeding during the procedure.
Small incisions (2-3mm) are strategically placed in natural skin folds or inconspicuous areas of the back. Typically, 4-6 access points are created to ensure complete coverage. These openings are small enough to heal without noticeable scarring.
Our surgeon removes fat in a systematic, fan-like pattern. The cannula suctions excess tissue through a vacuum machine to improve the back contours. We monitor the remaining fat to ensure symmetry and natural-looking contours.
The small incisions are closed with a single dissolvable suture. Sterile dressings are applied to the treatment sites, and a compression garment is fitted to control swelling and help the skin conform to its new contours.
A tummy tuck is a skin-tightening procedure that removes excess tissues from the abdomen. Our surgeon also repairs the abdominal muscles if they have become separated or weakened. This treatment is popular among people who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy that left behind sagging skin that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
A Brazilian butt lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the size and shape of the buttocks using the patient’s fat tissue. This operation involves two steps:
This procedure has gained popularity because it offers dual benefits – body contouring and buttock enhancement using natural fat rather than implants.
During the initial 24 hours, patients experience moderate discomfort and swelling. A compression garment must be worn continuously to minimize these symptoms and support the treated areas. We encourage light walking to promote circulation, but strenuous activities should be avoided. Pain medications prescribed by our surgeon help manage any discomfort.
