I went for several consultations for abdominal liposuction and I noticed some clinics quoted "abdominal and flanks' while another quoted 'abdominal and lumbar rolls'. What's the difference?

Answer: Liposuction terminology: lumbar or flanks ? The differences that you noted from the consultations is simply semantics. Lumbar refers to a lower area of the back corresponding to the lumbar spine region. Flanks is a less precise term but refers to the sides of the trunk usually below the ribs. Probably both quotes refer to the same areas. More important is what the goals of the liposuction are and which quote(s) addressed this the best. See a board certified plastic surgeon and good luck.
