Is there a certain way doctors mark you up before liposuction? Standard positions they have you stand in (or lay down) depending on the body area? I just want to get an idea of how most doctors do it so I know what to expect.

Answer: Markings for liposuction Markings for liposuction surgery is normally performed with the patient standing up. The areas that will be treated and discussed and concentric rings are drawn to show the areas of concentration. Each surgeon may have their own way of marking the patient. Communicate with your surgeon.

Answer: Liposuction markings While every plastic surgeon will have his or her own preferences, most will agree that markings for liposuction almost anywhere on the body should be done standing up. If the arms are being done, then the patient can be sitting, but with thier arms out a shoulder height and elbows bent 90 degrees.

Answer: Liposculpting Markings The markings are done in the standing position and are drawn to outline the areas to be liposuctioned. Once your surgeon does his drawings, make sure you look at them and approve the areas to be liposuctioned and let him know if there are areas you want done that are not in the drawings so he can cover all the areas you want if possible in that surgery. Photos and measurements are taken then also. Some doctors take a set of photos before the markings are put on and a set after the markings are put on so that later if there is a discrepancy about what areas was or was not liposuctioned, the photos can show what was outlined preop.
