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

December 8, 2012

My concern is that the skin on my abdomen is much looser than the skin on my back and hips. I am pretty much set on getting my back and flanks lipod to smooth out my side profile. My stomach is reasonably flat for my size, but there is signifiantly more loose skin and stretch marks there than on my back. i was just curious as to whether back and flank lipo would be visible from the front. I can't imagine te waistline would not look more defined. Would a sleek back and chubby tummy look odd?
