I want to look natural and not uneven. Would it make sense to get flanks only liposuction? (Photos)

Performing liposuction to the flanks only is certainly a reasonable option in your case. It's going to make the most significant implant from the back view from the pictures that you submitted. On the front view, you will see some improvement in the transition area from the waist leading down to the hips. It's not going to make a significant impact on the central abdomen. So in the picture of the front view that you submitted, if you were to draw a vertical line down the abdomen from where your shirt starts to curl upwards on both sides - you won't see much change between those lines if you get liposuction to the flanks only. Similarly, on the side view photo, you would see the most significant changes on the area where the back transitions to the upper buttocks, but wouldn't see much change on the abdominal portion of the picture. So liposuction to the flanks only is certainly reasonable, it just depends on how aggressive you want to be. You surgeon will blend the the area between the flanks and the abdomen to prevent any contour irregularities, and you can always come back for additional liposuction to the abdomen in the future.

Body contouring procedures have become increasingly popular and can help men and women recontour their body in adulthood. If you have stubborn areas of fatty accumulation that are more resistant to diet and exercise, you may be a candidate for body sculpting liposuction performed at Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica. Liposuction remains one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery and allows patients to slim and toned their waist line, back, arms, and legs using this minimally invasive and highly coveted procedure.

Among the most common areas to have liposuction performed is the waist line and stomach area. This makes liposuction an excellent alternative to a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck. If you have had fluctuations in weight, you may benefit by recontouring the waistline and abdomen using liposuction. Patient with excessive skin in the lower abdomen from childbirth or from excessive weight loss may not respond well to liposuction because the extra skin will continue to hang. In these patients, and abdominal plasty procedure is preferred.
