Back fat removal?

[diannab63]

I am not entirely sure what it is called but I was told that I should look into getting this done while in Korea. I am going to be there for a few weeks in the near future so I am considering it. I have a few rolls on my back that no matter what, will not go away. I have lost weight, I eat well, I exercise but they are persistent! They are right by my bra line too which makes it hard to wear certain tops without it being notifiable. 

Is this something I could have corrected in Korea and it not be too expensive?

It is just liposuction but instead of it being on the legs, arms, or stomach it is done on the back. In some cases you might need a surgical lift as well. It depends on if it is fat only or loose skin and fat. You will be looking at a price point between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on what needs to be done. It is very similar to the costs in America actually from what I have read. For the entire back it will be on the higher end of the price point.

I don't think this is correct. I looked up the cost comparison and while back lipo isn't listed, you could assume the costs are similar where the US charges more. 

• Abdominal Liposuction: Korea $2,000–$4,000 vs. US $5,900–$9,300+
• Thigh Liposuction: Korea $1,500–$3,500 vs. US $2,400–$5,700+
• Chin/Face Liposuction: Korea $1,000–$5,000 vs. US $3,000–$7,500+
• Flank (Love Handles): Korea $1,500–$3,000 vs. US $5,000–$10,000

I am actually going to need some lipo for my tummy tuck. I was told by two clinics so I have a general idea of the pricing. 

For me it is going to be $1,500 (in Korea). I don't have much that needs to be removed. I would guess it would be double for a standard amount and maybe another $1000 if it was around the back. I heard removing back fat takes a bit more effort and time. So I would guess $4,000 would be the price based on what I know.

I wanted to point something out that back lipo IS cheaper. I know this because of a friend who had a lot of it done. I am not sure why people think it is more. All your organs and stuff is in the front and there is way more loose skin to work with.
