Can flanks and back liposuction improve my shape?

Question

I had liposuction on abs and arms almost 11 months ago and my belly isn't flat. Can getting my flanks and back done improve my shape?

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Liposuction of Flanks and Back areas are wonderful ways in most of my liposuction patients to improve their waist line.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest you get a hi definition body shaping procedure, this is more meticulous and involves removing more fat and sculpting the body which leaves it with more shape and definition.  In my practice I do the entire torso --- 360 degrees all the way around the stomach to get the best results with regards to the mid section.

Thank you for your question.  Nothing can replace an in-person evaluation, or a series of photographs, but in general, the flanks and back are excellent sites for liposuction as the skin retracts nicely after treatment, and significant contouring can be done to improve one's overall shape.

Without photos or an in person exam, it is impossible to say for sure. But liposuction on the flanks and back is an extremely effective and popular procedure. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

If there is significant fat in the back and flank area liposuction indeed can give you a very good result. Photographs would help for the purposes of this website. Best is an examination in person.
