I'm having an arm Liposuction in a couple of weeks, and I've been looking at before and after pictures and reading reviews. One thing I noticed is that most incisions are at or around the elbow area. My doctor said my incision will be through the armpit. Why did he choose that site? Will it make a difference in my results? I've had work done by him before so I trust his skill and experience, I'm just curious.

Answer: Let your surgeon do it they way they are used to doing it. It is best to let your surgeon do the surgery they way they normally do it. It is amazing to me that people come in a start asking the surgeon to do the surgery a different way than they are used to performing it. If you trust the surgeon, then it is best to rely on the skills and experience of the surgeon rather than dictating how they should perform the surgery. I don't go out to eat and tell the chef at the restaurant how to cook my meal, I don't go on an airplane and tell the pilot what altitude to fly, likewise, I would not start telling the surgeon how to perform the surgery. Hopefully this is understandable. Good luck.

Answer: Arm Liposuction Incisions In general, a surgeon will use two separate incisions to perform liposuction in one area. So yes, it would be reasonable to use both an armpit and also an elbow incision. In general, these incsisions are small and heal well and do not leave a significant scar.
