Will Liposuction on the Flanks Make Me Look Less Curvy and More Boxy?

You should discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon.  Liposuction can be used to remove the unwanted fat.  Nothing need be done to the fat that you find desirable.  In general, flank liposuction accentuates your curves in the buttock area.

Liposuction with a small cannula done meticulously can reshape the waist, flanks, hips, outer thighs and abdomen in those patients who need just a small amount done to reshape them when exercise and diet no longer helps.  For those patients who would rather not undergo a surgical procedure and do not have very much to remove, may find a significant fat reduction over a few months from one treatment with Zeltiq CoolSculpting.  This FDA-cleared device chills the fat and allows for long term fat reduction as it does not just remove the fat from the fat cells but makes some of those fat cells in the site being treated die and the body metabolizes them.  No surgery, and a one hour treatment can make a long term difference.  Again, it is not a replacement for liposuction in patients with larger fat accumulations, but there are those patients such as you that just need a small reduction, or patients with larger fat stores that are not good surgical candidates for medical reasons or just are afraid of undergoing surgery. Zeltiq should then be a consideration.

The photos are failry dark, but in general liposuction of the flanks can be done to accentuate the buttock region without removing tissue from the buttocks.
