The infrascapular area is the back area located just below the bra. Fat tissue in this area consists of a single subcutaneous layer without a well-defined compartment of deeper fat tissue. This area protrudes clearly when a woman wears a narrower bra. In some women, there is a hereditary tendency to accumulate such fat tissue. As obesity progresses, fat accumulation in the infra-scapular area can become so large, that parallel “rolls” of fat tissue can form and be accumulated in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Liposuction with the application of microcannulas can remove the unpleasant fat tissue under the bra and result in great aesthetic improvement.

Infra-scapular back fat tissue is fibrous. Fat deposits consist of fat cells and fibrous connective tissue which holds fat cells. Fat accumulation in this area contains more fibrous tissue than fat tissue in any area of ​​the body. Fat tissue with more fibrous structure in the subcutaneous areas makes liposuction more challenging. Penetration into this dense fibrous tissue network is difficult using large cannulas. With the help of microcannulas, these areas can be treated successfully. The higher the fibrous tissue amount is, the greater the resistance to the penetration of the cannulas is. The initial application of microcannulas, subsequently followed by the application of larger microcannulas, enables a deeper liposuction. Applying microcannulas with an  inner 1.2 mm – 2.2 mm diameter  makes the penetration into this special kind of fat much easier and this enables the achievement of better cosmetic results.
