Counting Liposuction Areas? Does it Vary Among Doctors?

MsBodyCouture
How do plastic surgeons count the areas for liposuction? Is this different from doctor to doctor or is there a protocol each doctor follows? How many areas will this be? ( upper abdomen, lower abdomen, upper back/ bra roles, lower back, waist, lovehandles/flanks, neck, arms) Is that 8 areas?
