"Back Rolls" are basically fat deposits on the back in the form of rolls. This is a common problem in women, and concerns were encountered by cosmetic surgeons the worldwide. Deep connective tissue in the back attachments to the underlying muscle and/or periosteum divide the fat deposits on the back into multiple visual compartments. Their nomenclature is based on the anatomical area from where they have originated. The skin-fat envelope is held in place by facial attachments that are named the "zones of adherence".
The extent of fat deposits and number of back rolls, as well as skin laxicity, varies from person to person and also from one side to the other. The rolls surely have a zone of adherence inferiorly over which the tissue fold hangs and medially in the midline. Treatment modalities for back rolls depend on the above-mentioned variables and involve three general approaches:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Back contouring surgery | Procedure | Back rolls are assessed, and the type of surgery is determined according to grade of back rolls. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| improvement in grading of back rolls | Grade I: Back rolls that appear when the arms are kept by the side and disappear when the arms are raised. Grade II: Back rolls having a single indentation (partial or complete) that reduces when the arm is raised. Grade III: Back rolls with two or more skin indentations with skin pinch of more than 2 cm. The skin fold should not be lower than the inferior tethering point. Grade IV: Back rolls secondary to massive weight loss that have multiple folds with skin pinch less than 2 cm and skin fold lower than the tethering point, or in patients who have undergone prior surgical treatment. | six months postoperative |
| Compare the improvement of waist-hip ratio | The waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measurement that compares the circumference of your waist to the circumference of your hips. It's calculated by dividing the waist measurement by the hip measurement. | six months postoperative |
| Compare the improvement of waist-chest ratio | The waist-chest ratio is a measurement that compares a person's waist circumference to their chest circumference. It's often used as an indicator of body shape and potential health risks associated with fat distribution. | six months postoperative |
