Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

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.

Harry T. Haramis, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Michael Orseck, MD · Answer

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

R. Stewart Collins, MD · Answer

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.

David E. Berman, MD (retired) · Answer

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
