The marks made on you for liposuction help guide the surgeon during removal of the fat. When you lay flat for the procedure the fat deposits are harder to see than when you are upright.
Most of us mark the fat deposits in a pattern similar to a topographical map -- the highest spots are in the center with the slope extending out from the peak.
Lastly, these markings also give both the patient and the surgeon an opportunity to confirm what areas are to be treated.
