If You Get Full Back/flank Lipo, Can You See the Results from the Front?

If your tummy is chubby and you want a great waistline then you need to do both the hips and abdomen together to get the best results since they blend together nicely. Sincerely,

David Hansen,MD

    Flank liposuction will give you a smaller waistline and is the main reason for doing flank liposuction.  If you have loose skin in the front, discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon of your choosing about the possibility of a tummy tuck with flank and back liposuction.

Without seeing before pictures or seeing you in person for consultation, it is impossible to comment on your specific results.  However, the back lipo you will not see from the front (obviously).  The flank lipo, depending on the areas and the pre-op fat volumes, you will likely see from the front.  If you have loose skin on your abdomen, you may want to consider an abdominoplasty for a complete result.

 

Good Luck.

Liposuction of the back and flank will improve those areas that are treated. It will not help your abdominal wall

Thank you for the question, but you will do much better spending more time with your selected plastic surgeon than online consultants. Simply discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon and confirmed that the planned procedure will help achieve your goals.  Doing so in front of a full-length mirror will be helpful. In other words,  online consultants (without the benefit of photographs or physical examination) cannot possibly provide you the same type of information you  are looking for  compared to your plastic surgeon during the direct consultation process.
Best wishes with the upcoming procedure.
