. Generally, the incisionsWhich are actually small poke holes are of little consequence. After healing is complete. If there is a better place for the incisions from your point of view tell the plastic surgeon and he probably can accommodate that.

Every plastic surgeon has different methods of liposuction including the location and number of access sites.  I typically use the breast crease for the upper back, the belly button and above the groin creases for the abdomen and flanks.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

The incisions for back liposuction will vary from surgeon to surgeon. I can often do the lower back/flanks from several low approaches, but the upper back rolls need to be treated form a closer access incision, and this can vary in location.

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

Remember that the incisions need to be centrally located with respect to the fat to be liposuctioned.   It would be impossible to reach the mid-back effectively from incisions placed on the sides of your torso. Also keep in mind that liposuction incisions are very small and should go on to fade out by one year post op.
