Lower, upper abdomen lipo suction. (Vaser and/or smart)
Answer: Suction of the upper and lower abdomen requires three puncture wounds. The access points for liposuction are quite small. In my practice suction of the upper abdomen and lower abdomen would require three small entry points-one in each Inguinal region and one through the naval.

Answer: Incisions for Liposuction of the Abdomen To treat both the upper and lower abdomen with liposuction, there are generally 3-6 incisions made. They are very small (in my procedures, they are about 4-5 mm (less than 1/4 of an inch). They fade over a few months. I try to be sure to make they asymetric on either side so that they don't line up (that can be visible). I am sure that some surgeons use less, and some more. I highly recommend that you have both the upper and lower abdomen done for abdominal lipo. If you do only your lower abdomen, for example, and you gain weight as you age, you may preferentially gain it in the upper abdomen. I have seen this and it certainly looks odd.

Answer: Number of incisions for liposuction Generally I use 3, but if there are areas further out that need to be addressed, or specific needs, it can be more. Each incision is 1/4 to 1/2 inch, so they are barely ever visible. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Incisions for abdominal liposuction Every surgeon will have their own technique. So this is just my answer. But I would make one on each lower anterior hip and one in the umbilicus (belly button). So a total of three. This seems to be adequate enough to allow for a cross tunneling technique that prevents grooving problems that can be seen when only one cannula entry site is made. The incision sites are just stab incision which are about 5mm in length. They heal very well and don't even need to be sutured closed. The incision sites can be much bigger if a port needs to be used which is often the case with ultrasound or laser liposuction techniques, which I do not much care for.
