There are many common sites for lipo incisions, but there is variation from surgeon to surgeon. Ask your surgeon for specific details on his or her preferences.
Personally, I place my incisions low so they are hidden on the front and I use the coccyx /gluteal midline crease for waist from the back.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.
The incisions are very small and typically located in the pubic area and then hidden in the panty line between the hip in the flank There is usually one inside the belly button as well
Liposuction incisions can vary from doctor to doctor, so this is definitely a topic you’ll want to go over in person with your Board Certified plastic surgeon. The main thing is that the incisions have to be placed in an area that the cannula can reach the fatty areas you’re wishing to eliminate. Luckily, the scars are typically very small to begin with and will almost completely fade as you heal-- this is definitely something your surgeon can work with you on.
There is usually some flexibility where the incisions are placed. The surgeon has to be able to reach the fatty pockets that are of concern with the instruments. If you have strong feelings about where you want the scars placed, you should share this with your plastic surgeon and he/she can tell you if that is feasible and also make suggestions. Usually these scars are very tiny and hard to see, with the passage of time.david berman md

Liposuction alone will look horrible and so you need both lipo and an arm tuck where the incision is hidden in the arm pits nicely. It is done under tum. local with a little iv sedation and is easy to undergo. Cost is roughly $10,000 for quality work and so worth it.
It's difficult to determine how pregnancy will affect your results. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and needs to be combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or c...
I worry that you are pushing things too quickly and returning to work less than 48 hours after surgery is concerning. I do not permit my patients to drive that soon after surgery. As many patients are still taking pain meds, I don't encourage them to be in an office setting where they need t...
All incisions for laser lipo are small(2-3 mm) and if you go to a body contouring specialist the entry ways will be put in very hidden areas. Having said that it does take some time for those entryways to heal and they will likely be slightly red and noticeable if you are naked. These i...
