Does any of this sound familiar?
- 01
When I sit down, the fat on my flanks folds over
- 02
I have no waist line and look straight up and down
- 03
Exercise does not take the fat off my flanks
- 04
Seen from behind, there is no curve between my waist and hips
- 05
When I wear fitted clothes, the line of my flanks stands out

Fat on the waist and flanks has to be seen front, side and back together
The face is a set of connected structures
"Removing only the front leaves an awkward join with the side and back. The whole waist has to be planned at once, from a 360° view"
Line analysis
Analysis of the waist line
Front flank, side love handles, back roll — the three key points of the waist 360°
NB ultrasound-based line analysis
NB Waist Design — precise planning of the waist 360°
A waist line is not made from the front alone. All 360° have to change together.
Liposuction of the front of the waist and the flanks
The flank fat where the abdomen meets the waist is removed precisely. It is planned together with abdominal liposuction so that the two areas join naturally.
Liposuction of the love handles (the sides)
Love handle fat at the sides of the waist is removed to give the waist definition. This is the key area that makes a difference seen from the front and from the side.
Liposuction of the back of the waist (back roll)
Roll fat on the lower back and the back of the waist is addressed. It is considered together with the back fat connected to the bra line, completing the line seen from behind.
Planning the waist-to-hip line
After the waist fat is removed, the curve that runs naturally into the hip is planned. The approach is the whole silhouette, not simple removal.

Case Story

Why the waist and flanks are designed at NB
Integrated 360° planning
Front, side and back are not treated separately; the whole waist is planned as one line. This prevents the imbalance of removing one side and leaving the other.
The abdomen-to-waist join is taken into account
The flanks and the abdomen are connected areas. They are planned together with abdominal liposuction so that the boundary looks natural.
Operated on directly by a plastic surgery specialist
The back of the waist is an area where the nerve anatomy has to be understood. The surgeon plans and operates directly.
The hip-to-waist line is completed
We do not look at the waist on its own. It is planned as part of the whole silhouette, connected to the hip line, to create a natural curve.
