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.
Answer: SUCTION LIMITATIONS? If you're going to have liposuction, do all the areas that bother you. If you leave something out, it will grow disproportionately and that "refugee fat" is nearly impossible to lose without more suction. Adding one area like that (both sides of course) should only add a small amount of money and time to the procedure and you'll be much happier in the long run.

Answer: Liposuction Hi, Lizzytizz456If you "have some love handles," I would recommend getting the liposuction of the waists/flanks as well. Adding the liposuction of the flanks should not add more than 30minutes to one hour to the total operative time. Whether you are a good candidate for liposuction of the abdomen/flank should be based on examination of your body. Since your plastic surgeon has evaluated you in-person, I would follow his/her recommendation. If you have any concerns about the surgery/duration, please discuss them with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery.Good luck.
