Bra Roll Liposuction

Introduction to Bra Roll Liposuction

Bra roll liposuction, also known as bra bulge liposuction or back fat liposuction, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure offered by Dr. Grant Hamlet in London. This treatment is specifically designed to address and remove stubborn pockets of fat that tend to accumulate around the bra line, armpits, sides, and mid-back. These localised fat deposits can create an uneven silhouette, impacting clothing choices, self-esteem, and overall body image. By precisely removing this unwanted fat, bra roll liposuction helps individuals achieve a smoother, more contoured upper back and a refined overall silhouette. Dr. Hamlet specifically specialises in Vaser Liposuction, an advanced technique that offers enhanced precision and superior results for contouring this specific area.

Good Candidates

To be an ideal candidate for bra roll liposuction, you may have fat collection surrounding the bra line or middle back that affects your body perception and confidence. This can happen with or without a bra on. You must be in good overall health with no serious underlying medical conditions. Please have reasonable expectations for your procedure results. The initial consultation helps you manage your cosmetic goals and sets you up for a successful surgery.

Your Consultation

Your consultation will be a wonderful way for you and Dr. Hamlet to get to know each other, and discuss your personal aesthetic goals. Dr Hamlet takes a customised approach to all aesthetic procedures.

Before your consultation, please be prepared to share the following:

  • Any medical conditions or treatments or drug allergies.
  • Current medications, herbal supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use.
  • Previous surgeries.

During your personalised consultation, Dr. Hamlet will meticulously enquire about your expectations and provide a comprehensive overview of the liposuction process in its entirety. To ensure your suitability and readiness for surgery, he will conduct a thorough physical examination of the treatment area, which may include necessary blood tests to assess your overall health status. Once you are fully informed and comfortable with the proposed plan, a member of his dedicated team will assist you in scheduling your liposuction appointment for a day and time that perfectly suits your convenience.

The Bra Roll Liposuction Procedure

Before your surgery, Dr. Hamlet may ask you to do the following:

  • Stop smoking.
  • Get a medical evaluation and lab testing.
  • Cease taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory meds, herbal supplements, or other medications that have the potential to increase bleeding.

Dr. Hamlet begins the surgery by meticulously marking the treatment area to plan the liposuction procedure. Once the appropriate anaesthetic has been administered by the surgical team, he makes tiny incisions at strategic points near the excess bra roll fat, subsequently infiltrating the area with tumescent fluid. Next, he uses the Vaser probe to gently separate and emulsify the targeted fat. Following this, he meticulously suctions the emulsified fat with a fine instrument until the desired contour is achieved. The procedure concludes with the bandaging of incisions and the careful application of a compression garment around the treated area. The entire process typically takes 1 to 2 hours.

Bra Roll Liposuction Techniques

For bra roll liposuction, Dr. Grant Hamlet exclusively employs VASER liposuction.

Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (VASER)

Vaser Liposuction uses targeted ultrasonic energy to gently break up and liquefy fat cells for easier, more precise removal. This innovative method begins with the infiltration of a tumescent fluid, which numbs the area and helps separate fat from surrounding tissues. A specialised Vaser probe is then inserted to emit ultrasound waves, agitating and emulsifying the fat [1]. This liquified fat is then meticulously suctioned away with a fine instrument, allowing for strategic fat removal and significant contour improvement. A key advantage of Vaser is its ability to promote skin tightening in the treated area, leading to optimal results with less discomfort than traditional liposuction methods.

Recovery

Recovery from any procedure depends on the duration and extent of the surgery and the health of the patient. Be sure to ask Dr. Hamlet any questions regarding post-op procedures, dressings/bandages, stitches, medications, follow-up care, and when you can resume normal activities. He’ll be happy to make sure that you have all the information you need.

Following your bra roll liposuction procedure, you will experience some initial discomfort and swelling along the bra line. Wearing your prescribed compression garment diligently will significantly help to reduce this swelling quickly. Dr. Hamlet typically prescribes antibiotics and appropriate pain medication to ensure you remain comfortable throughout your recovery period. It is essential to prioritise rest during your downtime, alongside taking short, gentle walks to maintain healthy blood circulation. You will likely need 5 to 7 days off work, depending on your individual recovery progress and how you are feeling. Furthermore, you must strictly avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities until you are completely healed.

Bra roll liposuction typically results in long-lasting contouring. The fat cells do not regenerate after removal. Weight gain and other factors may lead to changes in contour. You should incorporate a healthy diet and exercise routine to maintain your results for as long as possible. After this procedure, your bra line will be smoother and more defined. This commonly increases confidence, allowing you to be more comfortable in your skin.

Corresponding & Complementary Procedures

Bra roll liposuction can be performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with other treatments to achieve a more comprehensive body contouring result.

Renuvion (J-Plasma)

To tighten the skin after liposuction procedures, Dr. Hamlet often uses Renuvion. This procedure utilises helium plasma to cause controlled injury to contract the skin and encourage new collagen production. He inserts a special probe that emits ionised helium interacting with radiofrequency energy to create thermal heat under the skin’s surface. This process targets the internal structures of the skin without affecting the outer layers of tissue.

Renuvion prompts the skin to generate new collagen and elastin fibres, a process that continuously tightens and rejuvenates the skin long after the procedure. Combining this procedure with Vaser Liposuction allows Dr. Hamlet to improve your results for a smoother, contoured treatment area.

Fat Transfer

With the help of Vaser Liposuction, Dr. Hamlet can perform fat transfers, also called fat grafting, to plump other parts of the body. After removing the healthy fat cells, he places them into a centrifuge machine to clean and separate them from surrounding tissues. He can then inject the cells into the buttocks, breasts, hands, or face to add volume and improve their shape.

Dr. Hamlet specialises in liposuction and fat transfer procedures, focusing on creating optimal body contouring for each patient. To learn more about this process and other cosmetic treatments, follow his blog.

FAQs

Will I Lose Significant Weight During Vaser Liposuction?

No. Vaser Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. It simply contours the body by removing specific, small amounts of fat from targeted areas. Some patients experience a slight drop in weight after the procedure, but it is completely dependent on their starting weight and circumstances.

The compression garment is typically worn at all times unless showering for the first two weeks of recovery.

The compression garment is typically worn at all times unless showering for the first two weeks of recovery.

Because of the ageing process and effects of gravity, no results of any cosmetic surgery are truly permanent. Although, liposuction does permanently remove fat from the treatment area, meaning it will not reappear. With proper nutrition and an active lifestyle, patients can maintain their results for many years.

Pricing

The cost of bra roll liposuction may vary depending on several factors. Each patient’s treatment plan is unique, and therefore the techniques, anaesthesia, and extent of surgery required will determine the cost. A precise quotation will be provided during your personal consultation with Dr. Grant Hamlet.
