Is it possible to have liposuction incisions for flanks only in the back?

This will depend on your anatomy and needs an in-person evaluation. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It sounds like you are thin and only need a small amount of liposuction. Incisions could be placed low and towards the back in the bikini line to avoid visibility. Another option you may consider would be Coolsculpting where the fat is removed without surgery and without a scar. The flanks usually have a bit of redundant skin which is necessary for the Coolsculpting device to attach.

Hi GymChick279 and thank you for your question.  For liposuction of the flanks it should be possible for your incisions to be well hidden and placed in the back if that is where you desire but this will ultimately depend on your physical exam and discussion with your board certified operating surgeon.  The incisions for liposuction are very small and typically fade beautifully, making them very difficult to find once you are fully healed.  I hope this helps and I wish you all of the best!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  I have performed flank contouring liposuction with small back incisions only.  It can work very well for the right patient.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

In most cases, liposuction of the flanks can be performed with the patient lying on their stomach and placing incisions on the back only.  This is especially true in thinner women.  If the patient was heavier and had more excess fat on the front additional incisions on the front may have to be made.  

Liposuction is a local surgical procedure that removes excess fats on specific regions of the body. It is possible to have a liposuction on the flanks alone, but you will first have to be examined. It is hard to say where you would be having incisions without any photo. Schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon of your choice for an in-person examination.

Thank you for posting your interesting question. It is possible to make the small incisions for flank liposuction in the back. At the time of your consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, who is experienced with liposuction, please discuss your desire for the incisions to be limited to the back. Best wishes, Richard Wellington Swift, M.D.

Yes it's possible to do the flank liposuction from the back only in my experience, I usually use two small incisions on each side.

Yes you can have the incisions be placed on the back for flank and back liposuction.  Also, note that the incisions are so small that your should not be able to see them.  When choosing a palstic surgeon for your liposuction make sure the doc shows you at least four views from each patient - front, quarter turn, profile and back views, from under the breast to mid thigh.  Andre Aboolian, Plastic Surgeon, Beverly Hills California, andreaboolian.com
