// Swift 3
let backButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 30, height: 30))
backButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "img"), for: .normal)
backButton.addTarget(self, action: "action:", for: .touchUpInside)
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: backButton)

// Swift 2
let backButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 30, height: 30))
backButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "img"), forState: .Normal)
backButton.addTarget(self, action: "action:", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: backButton)

    // We dont have  Property to change UIBarButtonItem frame
    // So we can creat UIButton() and give requered frame and add to navigationItem.setLeftBarButtonItems
