How can I be sure markings will be accurate to correct my situation? During my previous Smart Lipo MPX , the office girl literally just drew one circle around the areas, yet I see on websites that markings look like bull's eyes with patterns. Can Liposuction be done standing up somehow to ensure I get corrected, and that the legs get shaped to match each other? Should I ask to have all wounds left open and not sutured up to help with swelling and drainage?
Markings for liposuction are done to guide the surgeon with the liposuction. Surgeons vary in their markings (the bullseye markings are very common) but the goal is the same. When a patient lies on the table, the anatomy changes significantly. Thus, the markings can be very important. Liposuction of the legs can be performed in the standing position but that would require light sedation (or local) so that the patient could stand up and would need to be cleared by both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. Leaving wounds open is at the surgeon's discretion. Either open or closed, the fluid is eventually absorbed by the body.
