Tags: age 35-44, flanks, lower abs, upper abs, female, 150-169 lbs, 5 ft 4 in to 5 ft 7 in, 500-549cc, love handles

Hi,I had this done less than a week ago so cannot see full results yet. The facts are these; I am 36 yr old female. 5 ft 4" tall 150lbs (bmi26)I had 4 areas done - Upper Ab,Lower Ab,Posterior Flanks and Love Handles/Sides. The total fat removed was just half a litre (500cc). For upper and lower abs the doctor only made one incision each side half way up my stomach(therefore treating it as one area).Is this correct ?Or should the 2 areas have been treated separately?
