Where would the cannula incisions be located for laser lipo on the waist?

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
