Flankplasty: a specific treatment to improve body contouring.
A complete study of the flank region's unaesthetic distortions is reported. Comments regarding and illustrations of the different clinical appearances of local skin turgor and fat deposits are also noted. A classification of the different types of flank distortions, whether or not combined with similar problems of the surrounding regions, complete the study for the indication of correct treatment. Liposuction, surgery, or both, combined in the same or different stages, complete the main steps of the procedure.
