Lipo on the flanks during Tummy Tuck. Why are there no incision holes on the back?

Niandraaa
I had a tummy tuck in September with lipo on the flanks. But there are no visible holes whatsoever on my back near the flanks. Do some doctors perform flank lipo from the same tummy tuck incision of the lower abdomen? My flanks don't seem to look much different than they did originally.
