I love my body, except my flanks are my only problem area. I gained weight for a BBL, but plan to get lipo ONLY to my flanks. If I do this, will it end up having any negative impact on the way the front of my body/abdomen will look? Like excess skin or deformity? Or will my abdomen/stomach stay completely the same even though I gained some weight and am taking only from the flanks? I have included pictures of myself (some before my breasts were done, but all pictures are of me). Thanks!

Answer: Will lipo ruin my body Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent. Liposuction will not really be able to remove body fat evenly throughout the body. Rather it should be used selectively to remove the more resistant areas. Usually the additional areas liposuctioned are discounted so it makes sense to do abdomen, and flanks at the same time. In addition, it is important to blend the abdomen with the flanks from a technical standpoint. Flank liposuction will give you a smaller waistline and is the main reason for doing flank liposuction. All of this is really up to you. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Laser Liposuction Liposuction should not ruin your body if done correctly. Overzealous liposuction can leave irregularities so make sure to go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with extensive experience.
