A common area for fat to gather is around the bra strap. Too much fat in this area can disrupt the contours of your back, create bulges that can make finding clothes difficult, and cause you to be self-conscious about showing your back. Although working out and eating well is a great way to lose weight, some fat can be resistant to these activities. Liposuction is a great way to get rid of stubborn fat on the upper back.
Dr. Daniel Brown offers several liposuction approaches that can effectively treat the area around your bra strap, and leave you feeling confident and sexy. With Dr. Brown’s eye for detail, he will artfully sculpt away unnecessary fat and reshape the back to a more attractive appearance. If you are looking for an impressive solution to reducing unwanted fat so that you can enjoy strapless dresses, bikini tops, or fitted shirts and dresses, liposuction is your best option!

ABOUT LIPOSUCTION
Liposuction is an advanced body contouring technique that has been used for decades to help people remove unwanted fat. This method is a minimally invasive technique because, during surgery, a thin hollow tube is only inserted just below the skin to reach the subcutaneous fat layer. This layer of fat is very difficult to remove with diet and exercise because it is utilized by the body to protect vital organs from external stressors and prevent heat loss. Cosmetic procedures are often needed to remove this fat and help patients achieve their ideal outcome. Liposuction is meant to get rid of small stubborn pockets of fat that detract from the appearance or hide muscle definition. Once these fat cells have been removed from the body, they cannot return. At our office, we offer quite a few methods of liposuction so we can help our patients slim down and look their best!
SMARTLIPO
Over the many years that liposuction has been around, it has been tested and tweaked to provide the advanced techniques we have today. Dr. Brown uses SmartLipo to help his patients obtain their best outcome. SmartLipo is a cutting-edge method that uses laser technology during surgery to efficiently remove fat cells. The heat from the laser emulsifies fat cells and expedites their removal. SmartLipo has the added benefit of producing localized skin tightening. This is accomplished when the heat of the laser affects the skin in the treatment area. Collagen levels are boosted and help smooth out the skin.
SUCTION ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION
This traditional method of liposuction is the go-to standard for removing unwanted fat. A thin cannula is used to gently remove fat and sculpt the treatment area.
POWER-ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION
Along with the traditional method of lipo, this technique uses a device that creates vibrations in the treatment area. These vibrations help break up fat cells which helps your procedure go faster. Liposuction can be applied to areas all over the body, treatment areas include the legs, under the chin, chest, hips , abdomen, upper arms , and back. Liposuction is also often used alongside another procedure, like a tummy tuck , to optimize results. Dr. Brown will go over your liposuction options in your consultation and help determine which method will bring about your best results.
BENEFITS OF BRA FAT LIPO
The primary advantage of liposuction is that it will transform your back in one procedure. Liposuction is a customizable surgery. Dr. Brown will consider many things with your treatment, such as your desired appearance, and unique anatomy. With bra fat liposuction, we can help you look and feel amazing after just one treatment.
CANDIDATES
The ideal candidate will be healthy and within their ideal weight. Both men and women are eligible for liposuction and Dr. Brown is experienced in enhancing both feminine and masculine features. Individuals interested in liposuction will need to be able to pause smoking habits for a few weeks before and after treatment. If you have any pre-existing health conditions such as healing issues, a weak immune system, or diabetes, liposuction is not a safe treatment for you. We prioritize our patients’ safety and care. To find out if you’re a candidate for bra fat removal with liposuction, and to get started on the road to a smoother, more attractive back, schedule your consultation today.
