Back Roll Removal

Back and hip rolls, often called “love handles,” can develop from excess fat deposits, skin laxity, and firm fibrous attachments beneath the skin. These attachments create creases and natural folds that influence the position, shape, and size of each roll. In more pronounced cases, several rolls may overlap, producing a cascading appearance.

During 360 Lipo, Dr. Shienbaum uses a comprehensive surgical procedure to remove excess fat, tighten loose skin, and carefully release restrictive fibrous attachments. The goal is to create a smoother contour across the back and waist. Back roll removal is one of our body contouring procedures, and it pairs naturally with abdominoplasty or a Brazilian butt lift. Most patients achieve the best results when they are at a stable, healthy weight and have realistic expectations about treatment. To find out whether you are a candidate, schedule a consultation.

Bra Roll Fat Removal

Posterior bra rolls can form above or below the bra line and may be a persistent source of frustration. This stubborn fat can affect both men and women and often resists diet and exercise. For many women, even small bulges in the bra roll area can affect how clothing fits and how confident they feel.

Bra roll liposuction targets localized pockets of unwanted fat through precise circumferential contouring. Unlike traditional liposuction, treatment may also include the release of fibrous bands and RFAL BodyTite skin tightening when necessary. The recommended approach depends on the size of the treatment area, skin quality, and the degree of tissue laxity.

Although many patients seek treatment specifically to remove bra rolls, results vary according to anatomy, skin elasticity, and individual healing.

Bra Bulge

Bra Bulge or “Bra Overhang” refers to excess fat found just in front of the armpit crease and which protrudes from behind the bra edge. If there is no associated sagging excess skin this condition can typically be treated successfully with fine cannula liposuction. Otherwise, additional skin tightening with Inmode BodyTite radiofrequency may be required to achieve a smooth result.

Bra Roll Surgery

Surgical bra roll excision is reserved for severe cases of excess back fat and sagging skin. Typically, patients who have undergone weight loss surgery and or have achieved a significant degree of weight loss are suitable candidates. Because the procedure leaves a visible upper back scar, it is most suited for women who can conceal the incision in the bra line. Other forms of body lift procedures may afford alternative options and be able to address sagging and lax skin in other areas of the body.
