I went in today for a consultation for liposuction. I was very pleased with the doctor and everything... He is charging me $X amount for liposuctioning my stomach/abs and then $X amount for doing my flank area. Due to the price I cannot afford both at this time. Is it crazy to only get one section done now (stomach area) and then do the flanks at a later time? Or should I save up and wait to do them both together? Thank you for your time.

Answer: Lipo Stomach but Not Flanks?
It is not crazy to do one at a time. However, usually the second area is discounted so it makes sense to do both at the same time. In addition, it is important to blend the abdomen with the flanks from a technical standpoint. I typically do the areas together and the back at the same time as well. All of this is really up to you. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs HUNDREDS of liposuction procedures each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Liposuction
If it's safe, I would recommend waiting and doing it all at the same time. Typically the second and third areas are discounted and you also save money on OR, Anesthesia and recovery time. I think you will be happier with your results if you wait and do it all at the same time. If you really want to do something, do the area that bothers you the most. The results may motivate you to save more money to get the other areas done sooner than later. ac
