Would you have plastic surgery to banish back fat?

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Reviews & Products

While there's a lot of talk about love handles and muffin tops, there's another problem area that affects a significant percentage of women out there -- the back fat that bulges over your bra. Any shirt or sweater with the slightest bit of cling to it will show if off, and like that extra bit of belly fat that's so hard to get rid of, this is one of the last areas to tone up for many of us.

For women who are unable to beat this bulge, there's a new alternative -- plastic surgery. Twenty women have undergone a new "bra-line back lift" procedure to eliminate back fat, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Seven of the patients were followed-up on, with "uniformly positive" results -- however, there's no word on the other 13 patients.

The procedure takes just an hour and, according to the ASPS, removes all "dreaded back fat rolls and lumps." Dreaded? Really? I mean, a little lumpiness around the bra line isn't my favorite thing, but I don't think it would bother me enough to go through plastic surgery over. How about you?
