“Everything with me is different from other people! Women complain about extra centimeters in the waist or hips. And I have fat deposits on my back and sides
To be honest, I feel very complex, especially on the beach. After all, folds form under the bust, no matter what kind of underwear you wear. You can see it even under clothes.
And don’t say that I’m fat – no! And a fat back is just some kind of punishment! I eat almost nothing, I do exercises, but it doesn’t help. At least kill yourself! I look like a floating wax figure. I can’t imagine what to do.”
Fat deposits on the back have different causes.
Why is fat deposited on the back in women and men?
Excess back fat should not be considered “just fat.” In different areas - neck, shoulders, ribs, armpits, lower back - it appears for different reasons and behaves differently.
In this article we will talk about all the fat traps of the back and find out how to solve the problem in each specific case.
Localization 1. Fat in the back and arms
If fat is stored only in the upper back and arms, you have little reason to be proud. Fat behaves in the same way in Renee Zellweger, Demi Moore, Naomi Campbell, Anastasia Volochkova, Gisele Bundchen, Cindy Crawford and Cameron Diaz.

The reason is an innate feature of the physique. Your body type is called an inverted triangle, or V-shape. The fat that other women store on the stomach and thighs is deposited on the upper back and arms.
The reason for this fat is extra calories, and the only way to get rid of it is to “veto” food and exercise.
At first, choosing the right clothes will help hide the defect. Try to always wear sleeves, but without frills. Avoid large neck jewelry. Dress your upper body in solid and subtle colors. Shift the emphasis to the hips and legs. Bright colors, unusual cuts, basques, and flares will help you.
Location 2. Fat on the back under the shoulder blades
The skin of the back under the arms and in the area of the shoulder blades is very thin. Even a small excess of fat stretches the skin, causing folds to appear on the back under the bra.
This is the real problem. Even the fabric does not hide the folds of the bra. Fitted dresses have to gather dust in the closet, and you have to hide the problem under oversized robes.
The reason is still the same - abuse of fast carbohydrates - pasta, baked goods, chocolate. It is difficult for the body to cope with excess, and it stores everything unnecessary.
Location 3. Lower back fat
Fat folds on the sides just below the waist - “barrel”, or wings, “float out” from under clothes and make the figure shapeless.
In addition to the love of sweets and buns, there are several reasons for this problem:
- Thyroid gland dysfunction. Fat in the lower back may indicate the need for examination by an endocrinologist to check the level of thyroid hormones.
- Salts of heavy metals. They enter the body through tap water or toothpaste.
- Sedentary work. The back muscles weaken, and saggy subcutaneous fat shows itself.
- Stress. In response to stress, our body produces cortisol, which triggers the deposition of fat in the belly and lower back.
Location 4. Fat on the neck and shoulders
“Widow’s hump” is a deposit of fat on the back of the neck. The cause is hormonal imbalance - excess estrogen due to menopause or taking oral contraceptives.
In men, the fat hump also serves as a marker of decreased testosterone. Often accompanied by gynecomastia - fat deposits in the chest area - and fat deposits on the shoulders. They become sloping, the figure becomes heavier.

Location 5. Armpit fat
The most common cause of this problem is an increase in breast size due to hormonal changes. Women who have recently become mothers are especially susceptible to the deposition of such fat.
After childbirth, the hormonal system of mothers is unstable, and even in thin breastfeeding women, the breasts increase in size and worsen the condition of the armpits - excess fat begins to sag, folds of skin form around the breasts and under the arms.
Therefore, the most important advice for nursing mothers is to wear special supportive underwear to reduce the strain on the muscles and skin.

Simultaneous extension of the arm and leg. Get down on all fours with your palms on the floor. Synchronously extend your left arm forward and your right leg back. Hold this position for 2 seconds.

How to remove back fat in women and men at home
Home methods include:
- Healthy eating. Vegetables, herbs, cereals, nuts, and dried fruits are rich in fiber, “slow” carbohydrates and vitamins.
- Sport. Yoga, sports dancing, aerobics. To maintain a feminine figure, swimming with the entire “inverted triangle” is contraindicated: on the one hand, swimming will allow you to quickly remove fat from your arms and back , on the other hand, this area is predisposed to a rapid gain of muscle mass.
- Skin care. Regular use of lipolytic creams.
The listed methods will help get rid of folds on the back in the initial stages and with a stable hormonal background. If the fat deposits are deep and extensive, burning back fat will require more effective methods.
Below we will talk about what to do when willpower does not lead to results.
Burning subcutaneous fat on the back with massage
For people with elevated temperatures and chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, massage is contraindicated. Massage should not be done on menstrual periods, during pregnancy and within 2 months after childbirth, cesarean section or abortion.
The main task of any massage is to provide additional blood flow to the desired area of the body, which will lead to an increase in the concentration of hormones that break down fat.
Pinch massage is the best way to self-massage at home. It will activate processes that ensure the breakdown of fat deposits and improve the appearance and elasticity of the skin.
First you need to prepare the problem area by applying cream or treating it with special oil. Warm up the prepared surface with light strokes. This effect will prevent bruises from forming after intense pinching.
Grab the fat layer with your palm so that 4 fingers are on one side and your thumb is on the other. Moving clockwise, it is tedious to squeeze and push through the fatty tissue, increasing the impact and increasing the radius of the trajectory with each revolution. Make 3 passes.
Rub the entire treated area with a terry towel. At the end of the process, stroke and pat this area.
When performing a massage, sharp painful sensations are not allowed. Mild tingling and redness of the skin is acceptable during the procedure.
Daily 10 – 15 min. exposure within a month will allow you to get a noticeable result.
Constant training, a variety of physical exercises, diet, massage will allow you to remove folds on your back in a short time at home. The main thing is desire and daily implementation of the planned program of action, and no difficulties can prevent you from achieving your goal.
Before and after photos and patient review
“I was prompted to undergo intralipotherapy by the features of my figure, no matter how much weight I lost - the barrels always remained in place. Sport is always in my life, but sport did not solve local problems.
The choice in favor of Aqualix was made thanks to the recommendation of Dr. Malakhov during the consultation process. For liposuction - it seems that everything is not so advanced, but wraps - what are you talking about? This is not serious.
The sensations during injection are strange, but quite tolerable.
The results are pleasantly surprising!
Everything as promised ! Everything is very real! The undeniable advantage of Aqualix is that with its help you can remove something specific, that is, that local problem that interferes with the ideal picture of “your beloved self”!”
