How many incisions are made for upper/lower abdominal liposuction? Thank you!

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.

  I can do the upper and lower abdomen and the flanks with 2 small incisions in the pubic area.  Try to research this to find the surgeon who consistently produces the
results you would expect. Look at reviews on this site and see who gets the surgery right every time. Find

a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction
procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can
deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
