I would like to make my butt look bigger and waist smaller so I'm getting my lower back done. the doctor thinks I should do flanks too but I'd like to keep my hips. will it look weird if I just do my lower back?

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear pinklady90,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Liposuction of the lower back To get a smaller waist, liposuction is usually done of the lower back AND the sides (flanks). This gives you a smaller waist from the front view as well as the side view. The hips are lower than the flanks, so buy thinning the flanks, the hips will actually look more accentuated and more "curvy." You can ask the doctor to show you the difference on your body if he only does the back vs both the back and the hips. It will give you a more accurate idea of your potential results.
