I am getting smart lipo revision. I will have my upper and lower back, flanks and possibly my lower abs re-done. I have 7 incisions from my 1st smart lipo (2 upper back, 2 on back hips, 2 near front hip bones, 1 in upper belly button. I am worried about having so many additional incision scars from the revision. (2 on bra line and two on front hips for the lower abs). Can the second incisions be done at the same sites? Can lower abs be lipoed with just an incision in lower belly button?
