Lipo on abdomen, necessary for flanks too?

lizzytizz456
I am getting lipo on my abdomen in conjunction with a scar revision. I have some love handles and am wondering if it will look worse if I have a flat tummy but still have love handles? Should I go ahead and do lipo on the flanks also? I don't want to not love my body after going through all of this work, but worried about being under for 5 hours and the extra cost.
