What's the difference between an iliac liposuction and a flank liposuction?

Neener92
I met with two doctors and one suggested iliac liposuction and the other mentioned flank liposuction in conjunction with my abdominoplasty. I thought we were discussing the same area of my body, which is the "spare tire" area at the top of my pants from my side back toward my spine. Is an iliac liposuction and flank liposuction the same thing?
